Diet Soda and Increased Risk of Vascular Events

Diet soft drink consumption is associated with an increased risk of vascular events in the Northern Manhattan Study. The study published last month showed that daily diet soda drinkers had a 44% greater chance of heart attack or stroke than those who don’t drink diet soda. Soda has also been linked to osteoporosis and recent chemical analyses by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit nutrition watchdog group, showed that Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Diet Coke, and Diet Pepsi contain high levels of 4-methylimidazole (4-MI), a known animal carcinogen. Based on a risk model used by the state of California, CSPI estimates that that the 4-MI in Coke and Pepsi causes about 15,000 cases of cancer in the US. Are you hooked on diet beverages?
