You're even more likely to die if you choose diet soda
by Cassidy Morrison
 | September 05, 2019 04:10 PM

Despite the perceptions diet drinks are a better option than regular sodas, all sweetened drinks are bad for your health, according to new research.

Drinking more than two soft drinks a day is associated with a higher likelihood of early death, and drinking more than two servings of artificially-sweetened soft drinks is linked to a 26% higher risk of premature death, according to a JAMA Internal Medicine study published Wednesday that sampled 451,743 people from 10 European countries.

One of the study's authors, Dr. Amy Mullee, professor at the University College Dublin Institute of Food and Health, wrote to the Washington Examiner that the results don't necessarily mean that drinking soft drinks cause early death, but rather that there is a link. "There are other factors which may be behind the association we observed," she said. "For instance, high soft drink consumption may be a marker of overall unhealthy diet."

There are and have been several artificial sweeteners, used for decades.

Surely this research would/could differentiate somewhat in their findings.

My current beverage of choice is low-cal or no cal cranberry drink, by Ocean Spray, Walmart or Trader Joe's.

My younger sister is a Diet Pepsi addict, and she gives our mother the stuff, too.

Our mother is 94 so far.

So I doubt reasonable intake of artificial sweeteners  will be the cause of very many early deaths.

Used to drink diet soda till I realized that artificial sweeteners increased my appetite.  Not good when you are overweight and trying to shed some pounds.

I still like the occasional root beer or, when I can find it, cream of soda.  But these days, my usual cold beverage is ice water, preferably with a twist of lemon.  I'm fortunate to live in a town where the water is actually good.

I haven't had a soda, diet or otherwise, since I was a kid.

Just don't tell me wine in a box (one of the miracles of modern day science) is gonna kill me. Because it is what it is. happy77

Seriously!!

If I die from drinking Diet Dr. Pepper, so be it.  (My life expectancy now is somewhere around 95.  I can deal with it when the time comes).

LOL  I think everyone should eat and drink what they want and not let some study tell them not to.  Sometimes I think these studies are run by miserable people trying to make other people miserable. 

And who knows?  Tomorrow there will likely be a study that says soda is good for you.  it's like coffee -- today a study says it's bad for you. but tomorrow's study will say it's good for you. 

It's all nonsense.

I limit myself to one Diet  DP per day and I'll assume that will be what gets me.  Eventually.

I never could stand "diet" drinks.

I couldn't take more than one swallow of them, before needing "the real thing".
