Diet Soft Drinks Cause Stroke? While drinking diet soft drinks
may help reduce the amount of carbs a person consumes, they are
not without their downside. As one study points out, they have a
significant impact on your risk of an adverse “vascular event”
like a stroke, myocardial infarction or some kind of vascular
death. Researchers found that “those who drank diet soft drinks
daily (vs. none) had an increased risk of vascular events.”
Daily soft drink intake increased their risk of vascular events
by 43%. There are plenty of alternatives to diet and regular
soft drinks, including the most readily available: water. Next
time you are asked what you want to drink, consider all your
choices.
