Women who drink the most diet sodas may also be more likely to develop heart disease and even to die, according to a new study published Saturday.
Researchers found women who drank two or more diet drinks a day were 30 percent more likely to have a heart attack or other cardiovascular "event," and 50 percent more likely to die, than women who rarely touch such drinks.
The findings, being presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology, don't suggest that the drinks themselves are killers. But women who toss back too many diet sodas may be trying to make up for unhealthy habits, experts say.
"Our study suggests an association between higher diet drink consumption and mortality," said Dr. Ankur Vyas, a cardiovascular disease expert at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic, who led the study....

I starting to think that if you don’t eat or drink anything and spend your days hidden in your house you will live forever!
Everybody wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die to get there.
I don’t understand why everybody has to drink soda anyway. The occasional home-made lemonade on a hot day, sure. Iced tea, absolutely (though as a Southerner I find it hard to avoid sweetness in iced tea). But drinking all this carbonated chemical glop, whether full of sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or various sweeteners, is mystifying to me. Yuck. Why even do that?
That isn’t true. Many thin people drink diet soda.
It’s bad for the teeth. I haven’t had any cavities since I gave up sugar (except for rare occasions).
I agree with you about the corn syrup. I don't drink it. But you can get Coke made with sugar if you look for it.
