A new study revealed that soft drinks without excessive calories known as diet may increase the possibility of heart attacks and strokes, although they are the first choice for those seeking weight control or diabetes.
A study reveals the danger of soft drinks without excessive calories
According to the Health and Me, there is a study conducted by the University of California, Irvin, that people who consume larger amounts of artificial sweeteners were 9%more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, and the risk of stroke by 18%.
In another study published in Cell Metabolism, conducted by researchers at the Carolinska Institute in Sweden, aspartame mice (a common sweetener used in Diet Cook drink) was fed in doses equivalent to three boxes of diet daily. The result was an aging accumulation of fat in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis, which is a major cause of strokes and heart attacks.
Although scientists are still working to fully understand the mechanisms of this process, the results of the study have found that industrial sweeteners such as aspartame and sugar (commercials Ecolo and Siblanda) intestinal microbes, cause inflammation, and lead to metabolic problems such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
Therefore, moderate consumption may remain safe for many, but these new results indicate that it is time to reconsider the assumption that sugar -free soft drinks are healthier in nature, as industrial sweeteners may have hidden effects, especially on heart health and metabolism.
