Aspartame–the main sweetener for diet soda–is one of the most dangerous ingredients used in our food supply, causing seizures and a bunch of other health issues. The demand and sales of diet soda have plunged as consumers try to make better health choices.
A new study that spanned over ten years and included 60,000 women, shows that women who drink two or more diet drinks a day have much higher cardiovascular disease rates and that they are more likely to die from that 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, a fellow in cardiovascular disease at UI Hospitals and Clinics, and the lead investigator of the study.
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:
“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.”
This new study should only add fuel to the movement away from artificial sweeteners. There are plenty of natural sweeteners that everyone can use that are much more healthier than aspartame.
With the overall sales of soda going down, means that less people are being exposed to high fructose corn syrup which carries another host of health risks as well.
