Soda Fizzles

Whether you drink sugar-sweetened or diet soda, new research suggests you may want to opt for water instead.

Cardiovascular risks - Daily diet-soda drinkers had a significantly higher risk of heart attacks and strokes than non-drinkers over an average 10-year follow-up, a Columbia and university of Miami study reports.

Higher Blood Pressure - For each 350 ml serving of sugar-sweetened soda or fruit drink, sippers had a bump in blood pressure, say researchers in a multi-university study. (One can of soft drink is 330 ml)
