Many people struggling to lose weight begin consuming diet soft drinks to reduce their sugar and calorie intake. But some studies have shown that they might be puting themselves at risk for something more dangerous than a few extra pounds.
New research indicates that daily consumption of diet soft drinks may be associated with Type 2 diabetes and increased risk for stroke and heart attack. Though the authors caution that other variables may be to blame, there is really no health benefit of consuming these beverages.

The people that consume diet drinks, usually have weight issues to begin with. This is “chicken-egg” syndrome with regard to the research. No empirical biological evidence, only associative.
<- water con errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrthang.
Dude it’s like everything gives you cancer except sleeping. Ok on the serious side wow!
I saw a video about this and heard that drinking diet soda could even develop lupus!!!!!
Well, when you really think of the ingredients that are put into a soda, most of which are man-made… I mean… The stuff is made in FACTORIES, like cars, computers, medicine… How can you not think that it won’t do you harm? Drink water people! It’s what we were designed to drink!

Carbonated water with fruits is just as good. And a healthier option.

Dayum… I’m fooked!
Ditch the all the soda, stick with well made obscure artisanal Puerto Rican rons, mama Juana, and Mexican beer.
Celine, this was based on a 10-year epidemiological study that controlled for a number of different variables. The diet soda was independently associated with those risks. Not even the most rigorous research goes so far as to say something “caused” something else, but this is pretty compelling evidence.
How about we just don’t drink soda period?
Agua de Lourdes con todo.
one thing on Lupus it can cause many effects , when drinking diets drinks .. even with E seizures .. I ate something with that diet sugar in it , & did have an effect..started being very dizzy .. light headed .. have a friend thats been eatting drinking sodas , even that sugarfree candy .. now have cancer .. & other dieases ..
Someone once said that regular sweet sodas have approx. 10 teaspoons of sugar equivalent. Can’t be good for you. And those diet sodas with artificial sweeteners, no way. People say even Splenda is bad from you because it was derived from pesticides! Can anyone confirm this?
I’ve heard the same thing about Splenda, but I think you have to consume LOTS of it for it to have an effect. Still, with all the other things to worry about, we might as well not add any more things.
Its BS! Read the study. The study cohort consists of smokers, with waists of over 35 inches, and old. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT HEALTHY TO BEGIN WITH!
Everything in moderation including moderation!
