Healthline: Diet soda no better than regular soda for heart health
UC cardiologist suggests water instead of any type of soda
Richard Becker, MD, director of the UC Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, and UC Health cardiologist, spoke with Healthline about a new study that finds people who want to stay heart healthy should avoid drinking artificially sweetened beverages like diet soda. Becker says water should be the beverage of choice.
The research, published this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, looked at data from over 100,000 participants in the NutriNet-Santé cohort, an ongoing, online study in France that has participants record their diet, activity level, and health status at 6-month intervals.
