DIET DRINKS are being more and more preferred over energy drinks with the mindset that they are less in caloric intake. This new research challenges the conventional concept by claiming it to be linked with higher incidence of stroke in females.

According to Medscape words "Drinking artificially sweetened beverages is linked to increased risk for ischemic stroke, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality in women, new research shows. Among almost 82,000 participants in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, risk for fatal and nonfatal stroke was 23% higher among women who self-reported drinking the most diet beverages — two or more per day — compared to the women who consumed the least. The latter group drank none or less than one of these beverages per week. "

Kindly have your say.
