Daily diet soda may increase risk of heart attack, stroke: study

(Reuters) - Diet soda may benefit the waistline, but people who drink it every day may have a heightened risk of heart attack and stroke, according to a new U.S. study.

Although the researchers, whose work appeared in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found that older adults who drank diet soda every day were 44 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack, their research did not prove that the sugar-free drinks alone were to blame.

There may be other things about diet-soda lovers that explain the connection, said lead researcher Hannah Gardener, of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and her team.

"What we saw was an association. These people may tend to have more unhealthy habits," she said.

She and her colleagues tried to account for that, noting that daily diet-soda drinkers did tend to be heavier and more often have heart risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and unhealthy cholesterol levels.

Gardener and her team studied 2,564 New York City adults who were 69 years or older at the study's start. Over the next decade, 591 men and women had a heart attack, stroke or died of cardiovascular causes -- including 31 percent of the 163 people who drank a diet soda daily at the start of the study.

Overall, daily consumption of diet soda was linked to a 44-percent higher chance of heart attack or stroke, compared with 22 percent for people who rarely or never drank diet soda but had a heart attack or stroke.

Gardener said that if diet soda itself contributes to health risks, it's not clear how.

Some research in rats suggests that artificial sweeteners can end up boosting food intake and weight, but whether these results translate to humans is unknown.

"I don't think people should change their behavior based on this study," Gardener said, noting that further study is needed to confirm a connection between diet soda and cardiovascular trouble.

Ok, they drank diet soda on a daily basis but what about their weight? did they practice any sport/physical activity? Did they drink/smoke? Some studies are completely useless.

So this study was basically just done by a bunch of dickheads who wanted to get something published with their name on it. It shows nothing.

All we can conclude is that there might have been some fatasses in this study who happened to drink diet cola. What was the point of posting this?

Some studies are great, some are ok, some are useless.

Fatpanda based his training and diet 100% on studies, do you guys remember how he looked? Some of his studies said 1 exercise per muscle group is enough for muscle building and any more than that makes no difference at all. <---- LOL

I didn't fall for anything. I skimmed over it like so many shitty studies and wrote it off. Then I skimmed over a bit more to confirm if it was bullshit and it was indeed, certifiably bullshit just like so many other "studies".

The only thing that confused me is why anyone would take even 20 seconds to post such a stupid piece of shit article.

a lot of people (including myself) write papers on studies we did and shit like that and they are so biased it's not even funny, they are held in very high regard in the best journals globally... we only write them because it's a requirement to get promoted (must publish a paper)... after what i've seen (and done), i don't trust any bullcrap that's published. reality is what i trust... one of my friends has been drinking no less than 6 diet cokes for the past 18 years... nothing wrong with him.

retarded bullshit studies.

i have a feeling its because they only look for any conclusions to be prima facie and not necessarily proven beyond a reasonable doubt..

Over the years I've seen so many people talk about the evils of diet soda, and I've yet to see any of this be true.

Once, I think on MD, some hippie dipshit posted a tree-hugging site about how bad diet soda is for you and welcomed anyone to challenge him. Layne Norton stepped to the plate and posted about 3 consecutive pages of info, both scientific studies and his own, stating otherwise. He really owned that MF'er to hell and he never responded with much else than "you will die if you continue drinking diet!"

I'm not worried about diet soda, even if I do die at 43yrs old because of diet soda, I don't care. I've lived a good life.
