Is This The End Of Diet Soda? Huge Study Links Aspartame To Major Health Problems; Sales Drop…

Is This The End For Diet Soda?

As concerns about health epidemics plague the nation, demand and sales of diet soda have plunged as consumers try to make better choices. As WeSupportOrganic.com reported recently, Aspartame (the main sweetener for diet soda – check the labels) is regarded by scientists as one of the most dangerous ingredients used in our food supply, who have linked it to seizures and a host of other major health issues including fatal cardiovascular events. [1]

In a newly published study [2] (presented in 2014 at the American College of Cardiology, Washington D.C.), 60,000 women were sampled over ten years. It was shown that women who drink two or more diet drinks a day have much higher cardiovascular disease rates and are more likely to die from the disease.

“30% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, 50% more likely to die from related disease…”

In the largest study done of its kind, The University of Iowa concluded:

“…Compared to women who never or only rarely consume diet drinks, those who consume two or more a day are 30 percent more likely to have a cardiovascular event [heart attack or stroke] and 50 percent more likely to die from related disease.

This is one of the largest studies on this topic, and our findings are consistent with some previous data, especially those linking diet drinks to the metabolic syndrome,’ says Dr. Ankur Vyas… the lead investigator of the study.

…The association persisted even after researchers adjusted the data to account for demographic characteristics and other cardiovascular risk factors, including body mass index, smoking, hormone therapy use, physical activity, energy intake, salt intake, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sugar-sweetened beverage intake. On average, women who consumed two or more diet drinks a day were younger, more likely to be smokers, and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and higher body mass index.” [3]

Soda sales slipping… Thankfully this study comes on the heels of reports of already slipping sales of diet soda, one of the largest aspartame markets.

According to Time Magazine’s 2014 report:

“One reason for the decline could be a growing awareness of the obesity epidemic in the US and growing health concerns surrounding sugar-sweetened beverages. According to Reuters, industry experts say the beverage industry is shrinking under the scrutiny. Even diet-branded drinks have suffered a loss of sales with concerns over artificial sweeteners.” [4]

Whatever the reason for the decline, this new study should only add fuel to the movement away from artificial sweeteners. There are plenty of natural sweeteners that people can choose that are regarded as much healthier than aspartame.

Another important note is that the overall sales of soda going down also means that less people are being exposed to (mostly GMO) high fructose corn syrup which carries a whole host of other health risks as well. [5]

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

  1. It is also used in certain no diet drinks(c&c) and dilutent squash drinks (my wadie). Also in yogurt and coffee sweetners.

  2. Please note that aspartame is also labeled and sold under other names, including Nutrasweet and Splenda and is in many prepackaged foods. If I could do one thing differently in my life it would be to never have consumed this poison product. I’m 39 years old and now in kidney failure, The doctors say it is a direct result of my years of drinking diet soda and eating foods containing aspartame. It has begun to affect my heart as well, I’ve had two heart attacks this year related to the kidney failure. My bodily systems are shutting down because of this toxin and I will die an early death, leaving behind two children, because I trusted the FDA when they said this product was safe. It is anything but safe and I beg you all to stop using products that contain it and stop feeding these products to your family. Do it now, tomorrow just might be too late.

  3. I my memory serves me right, more than 20 years ago Canada health board banned the use of aspatame in food. Why is the rest of the modern world so reluctant to protect its citizens. I know: lobbyists !

  4. Even more dangerous….just not realized at this time is sucrilose….splenda etc…..any chemical or chemically altered substance should never be consumed….why would you?
