Diet soda consumption may be linked to increased heart risks.ABC World News (2/9, story 8, 1:40, Sawyer) reports that research presented at the American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference suggest that diet soda consumption may be linked to increased heart risks.
NBC Nightly News (2/9, story 8, 2:10, Williams) reported that "the study followed more than 2,500 New Yorkers for more than nine years."
The Los Angeles Times (2/9, Mestel) "Booster Shots" blog reported that participants "were asked about their intake of sodas (among other questions) at the start of the study. After nine years, 559 cardiovascular events had occurred." Researchers found that "those who had reported drinking diet soda every day had a 60% higher rate of these events, which included various forms of stroke as well as heart attacks."
