Is this the End of Diet Soda? Huge Study links Aspartame to Major Problems, Sales Drop…

According to Reuters, industry experts say the beverage industry is shrinking under the scrutiny. Even diet-branded drinks have suffered a loss of sales with concerns over artificial sweeteners.”

Women Drinking Two Diet Sodas per Day Are 50 Percent More Likely to Die from Heart-Related Disease

Most recently, one of the largest studies of its kind, which included nearly 60,000 post-menopausal women who were followed for about 10 years, found that drinking just two diet drinks a day can dramatically increase your risk of an early death from heart disease. The findings were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session in Washington, DC. As reported by the University of Iowa:

“…Compared to women who never or only rarely consume diet drinks, those who consume two or more a day are 30 percent more likely to have a cardiovascular event (heart attack or stroke) and 50 percent more likely to die from related disease.”
