A recent study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine claims that drinking one diet soda per day is linked with an increased risk of heart disease.
The study looked at 2564 individuals over ten years. Researchers found that those who drank at least a daily diet soda were 43% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than were those who drank less. Blood pressure, diabetes, and other similar conditions were accounted for. Those who drank a moderate amount, which they defined as once a month to six per week, and those who drank regular soft drinks did not experience a higher risk of vascular event.
Researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Columbia University Medical Center advised that more research was needed to understand the mechanisms for these curious results.
Meanwhile, Health.com reported recently on the nature of diet soda addiction, which they say exists, although it is not as bad as common addictives like nicotine. The habit of reaching for a second or third diet soda is similar, however, and may indicate psychological or even physical addiction. Furthermore, a major disincentive -- that it not will help you gain weight as easily as regular soda will -- is not present.
