There’s an easy way to increase your risk of having a stroke: drink diet sodas.
According to a study reported at the American Stroke Association Conference, diet soda drinkers had a 61% higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
The researchers followed 2,500 New Yorkers for one plus years and found that people who drink diet soda every day had this increased risk.
Just think for a moment what’s in a diet soda – phosphoric acid, artificial colors, artificial favors and other assorted chemicals. Yummy!
So…water anyone?
