Diet Soda/Regular Soda is Bad for Your Health… But Dementia or Stroke?

You know, we have enough to worry about in this world without a very common thing like diet soda trying to kill you.

How many people do you know that drink this every day, or at least close to every day?  I don't.  I never really did.  It's not that I don't like soda, diet or otherwise, but I just don't think of it as my drink of choice.  Apparently thank goodness after hearing about this study.  Check out the study here.  

In the end, researchers learned that those who drank at least one artificially sweetened drink per day were nearly three times more likely to have a stroke or develop dementia compared to those who drank ess than one a week. Their findings held up even after adjusting for other factors such as age, gender, calorie intake, diet quality, physical activity and the presence of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease.

It goes along with all of the information that we are now getting about the dangers of processed foods and the like;  I'm thinking that we may as well just go out into the country and live off the land.  Like a hippie commune.  That might be a better idea.

Seems like anything that has been made convenient is bad, maybe even horrible for us to consume.

Paleo.  Nuts and berries.  Keto - there's another idea.

That's it.  Go that route,.. until they find out that that's super bad for you too.  Actually, haven't they already discovered that those are both bad in the long term??  Well, let's be honest.  Living is bad for your health.  Carry on.
