Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Drinking two or more diet beverages a day linked to high risk of stroke, heart attacks
Sugary or non-sugary soda? Unfortunately for sweetened drink lovers, neither is good for health, according to a new study specifically conducted to postmenopausal US women over 50 years old. The study found that women who drink two or more artificially sweetened soda drinks a day have higher risks of clot-based strokes and heart attacks, which could result in early death.
Diet soda is mainly consumed in America where there are much more serious over-weight problems than most other countries. Though bottled water consumption recently surpassed carbonated soft drinks by volume, those who love sweetened drinks have difficulty giving them up.
But why Americans love soda in the first place? Is it because of their eating custom, the taste, or the accessibility? One thing for sure is that sweetened drinks don’t go so well with sushi or pasta while a hamburger or sandwich can be enjoyed more with flavored or colored drink or juice.
Enjoy reading and think which soda drink you will drink, regular or diet if you ever feel like having one.
