Tigri Scientifica: Step away from the Diet Coke

Diet sodas are worse for your health than you think.

Quick, name the worst soda for your health. What was your first guess? Mountain Dew? What about Coca-Cola? Surely one of the neon-colored Pepsis would be at the top of the list. If youre drinking a diet soda right now, youre going to want to put it down in favor of its full-sugared counterpart.

A newly published, 10-year study conducted by Dr. Hannah Gardener and her colleagues from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Columbia University Medical Center found that those who drink diet soda on a daily basis are at a higher risk of many vascular disorders, including stroke, heart attack and vascular death.

Full-calorie soda gets a bad rep because of the high fructose corn syrup that it contains and its high caloric content. These can help increase waistlines and can potentially be linked to vascular disorders.

Interestingly enough, this new study found no association between drinking regular soda and an increased risk of vascular disorders. The new study also came to the conclusion that those who drink diet soft drinks daily have a 43 percent increased risk of vascular events when compared to those who drink regular soda daily.

Why would diet sodas have such a different effect? Scientists have not been able to clearly define the exact processes by which the compounds in diet sodas cause harm to your body, but they have been able to pinpoint all of the negative effects that come along with frequent diet soft drink consumption.

In the study, 2,564 participants were observed in their soda intake. The study controlled for many factors, including dietary habits, age, sex and ethnicity.

Accounting for differences related to those factors, the participants who drank diet sodas regularly were most likely to sufferer hypertension, elevated blood sugar, lower HDL (the good cholesterol), larger BMIs, peripheral vascular disease and previous cardiac disease.

How does that compare to those in the study who chose regular soda as their daily poison? They generally had lower occurrences of diabetes and high blood cholesterol levels.
