JUST one diet drink a day can triple the risk of a deadly stroke, a study suggests.
The researchers also found links to dementia described as a “worrying association” by experts.
But the findings were dismissed by some British authorities, while others have called for more investigation.
The US study found those who drank a can of artificially-sweetened pop — such as Diet Coke or Pepsi Max — daily were at three times the risk of suffering the most common form of stroke compared to non-drinkers.
They were also 2.9 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s. But after accounting for all lifestyle factors, the researchers found the link to dementia was statistically insignificant.

I don't believe that what I don?'t know who? Maybe
This is exactly why I drink BEER!!! Keeps my blood flowing (no need for thinners) and keeps my kidneys flowing (water content) and lifts my spirits!!! I'm always in a good mood after the first six....BEER it does a body GOOD!
Any diet soda gives me a horrible headache.
Water is the best diet drink around and has been for millions of years.
Just another in a long line of junk science reports.
I know a diabetic man who has had about 6 diet Pepsi everyday for over 50 years. He is 85 and still going with no heart attack or stroke. Never saw him drink a glass of water.
Doesn't say every person, but rather a 3 times more likely than a non diet soda drinker. Funny how you think you will win the powerball but not cut your odds of dying by making better lifestyle choices.
Lets all send Hillary Clinton a few free cases!
