Drinking diet soda may raise your risk of having a stroke, according to a study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011. Researchers found that drinking diet soda may increase stroke risk by as much as 61 percent.The study followed 2,564 people for an average of 9.3 years and determined that participants who drank diet soda every day had a higher stroke risk than those who drank no soda. Even accounting for factors like race, sex and age, stroke risk was still higher among diet soda drinkers. Doctors gave no chemical or biological reason.
'This study suggests that diet soda is not an optimal substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages, and may be associated with a greater risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or vascular death than regular soda,' according to the study abstract.
