I hardly drink any soft drinks.
I’m skeptical. Where is the study?
The article is on so called diet drinks but the focus is on artificial sweetners. Stevia is natural so it is not included.
Anybody than wants to read more on this google Dr Weil and Sucralose/Aspartame or Stevia.
Dr. Weil says to avoid artificial Sweetners such as Splenda (Sucralose). He says it is better to use moderate amounts of sugar.
The only non-caloric sweetner he would use is Stevia, an herb.
Any drink that has Sucraloe in it, I put it back that includes Bang energy. I am trying to avoid them. Grab a green tea or water instead.
Correlation does not imply causation. Unless direct evidence is found linking the ingredients in diet soda to strokes, there’s no reason not to believe that people who love to drink diet sodas just tend to be people living unhealthy lifestyles making them more prone to strokes.
Safe and effective.
unconvinced, but based on my own limited knowledge, recommend erithrotol, which often is mixed with stevia.
From what I read, erithritol is the only one that doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.
The others may raise blood sugar levels, but the effect may be less if you use them all the time.
One of my doctor friends is an oncologist. He advises his patients to stay away from all soft drinks. I took his advice to heart and haven’t touched them in over 20 years.
Research Stevia. Its non of that crap.

“Whereas in the text of the article, the authors correctly mention that causation may not be derived from the results of the study, their abstract and main tune of the text leads readers to the understanding of sweeteners as a cause of the disease. The wording ‘risk factors’ may help, but for a long time it has been misused as a synonym for causative factor.”
This stuff has been around for forty years or more and just now they’re finding this out? At a time when strokes are skyrocketing in atypical populations? Color me skeptical...I’d say some trickery is afoot.
Maybe they need something to blame for their heart dart shots.
I drink diet soda all the time. I suppose if anybody notices I’ve stopped posting someday you will know what happened.
Did it occur to any of these Einsteins that people who drink diet soda in the first place are already a high risk group?
Have read that diet drinks are better than sugary drinks at the moment in terms of sugar consumption but that the diet drinks make you crave other sugars later. So you consume a diet soda but then want a bigger piece of cake later in the day. I often give up diet sodas and sweets for Lent and after a few weeks I feel calmer, lighter, and better, with more energy and better, deeper sleep.
Only six diet Dr Pepper a day
I’m cool
No, no, no... it’s not the vax... it’s the diet soda — so SADS, so very SADS
Yup, the clot shot didn’t do it.
Yer soda did!
Uh huh.
It’s not just this... it’s not just that. It’s the cumulative effect in all our processed foods.
Being obese and drinking a gallon of diet soda with your big mac’s probably doesn’t help either.
