Besides the fact that diet soda causes dehydration, weight gain, mineral depletion, diabetes and caffeine addiction, new research shows they're also responsible for an increased risk of vascular events such as,
stroke
heart attack
vascular death

The new study was conducted by, Hannah Gardener and her colleagues from the,
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Columbia University Medical Center
The research appears online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, published by Springer.
In the current climate of escalating obesity rates, artificially sweetened soft drinks are marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages, due to their lack of calories.
However, past research has shown very serious long-term health consequences due to highly toxic additives and artificial sweeteners such as,
sodium benzoate
aspartame
acesulfame potassium
sucralose
high-fructose corn syrup
Gardener and team examined the relationship between both diet and regular soft drink consumption and risk of stroke, myocardial infarction (or heart attack), and vascular death.
Data were analyzed from 2,564 participants in the NIH-funded Northern Manhattan Study, which was designed to determine stroke incidence, risk factors and prognosis in a multi-ethnic urban population.
The researchers looked at how often individuals drank soft drinks - diet and regular - and the number of vascular events that occurred over a ten-year period.
They found that those who drank diet soft drinks daily were 43 percent more likely to have suffered a vascular event than those who drank none, after taking into account pre-existing vascular conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes and high blood pressure.
