The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine offered up more evidence about how horrible these drinks are for people.
I get so tired of trying to explain how lousy sodas are for people, mostly because people have a particularly hard time believing DIET sodas can be that bad, when they are likely even WORSE than the sugar-filled ones.
The study examined 2,500 NYC folks over a solid ten years. It’s these long-term studies I really like, as these present enough proof for the alternative research folks, like myself, to be able to stand on the claims we make with solid backing. It’s the long-term effects of almost ANYTHING, that create the most problems over time. I’ve been on the anti-fluoride in public tap water crusade for well over a decade now, because it’s the gradual *accumulation* that is causing all the problems, while the short-term effects remain hardly noticeable, AND, are always the forms of evidence and “proof” presented that claim something is safe.
Convenient, when the effects are not studied long-term.
The study showed that people who drank one diet soda per day were 44 percent more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
To be honest about the findings, this study cannot prove conclusively that drinking the soda actually CAUSES the heart attacks/strokes.
But what it can do, is demonstrate that they MAY, *and/or* that the people who consume these drinks are living a certain kind of lifestyle that may also contribute to these kinds of events.
Let’s remember that consuming any kind of carbonated drink likely contributes to a carbonic acid build-up in the blood, resulting in an acidosis condition.
So there could be multiple factors at stake here, and not just that of the awful artificial sweeteners they use in these drinks.
Solution:
Do what I do.
Drink clean spring water and consume water-filled fruits and veges.
