Moral of the story, if it’s this hazardous and has the effects of a strong cleaner – think about what it’s doing inside your body. Not to mention that a single can of soda contains about 22 teaspoons of sugar. It is highly addictive and you should also watch out for those artificial sweeteners:

The dangers of aspertame:

“Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.”

The beverage findings should be “a wakeup call to pay attention to diet sodas,” said Dr. Steven Greenberg. He is a Harvard Medical School neurologist and vice chairman of the International Stroke Conference in California, where the research was presented on Wednesday…

Daily diet soda drinkers (there were 116 in the study) had a 48 percent higher risk of stroke or heart attack than people who drank no soda of any kind (901 people, or 35 percent of total participants). That’s after taking into account rates of smoking, diabetes, waistline size and other differences among the groups.

Studying 2,564 people in New York revealed that people who said they drank diet sodas on a daily basis had a 61 percent higher chance of vascular events as opposed to those who didn’t drink the beverages.

Study Highlights:

• Drinking diet soda daily is linked to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack and vascular-related deaths.
• High salt intake may double the risk of ischemic stroke, independent of sodium’s role in hypertension. (source)

Make your own lemonade or iced tea and smoothies. Filtered or carbonated water are always the best thirst quenchers. Keep in mind that sugary drinks will only make you more thirsty and make you crave more!
