New research links diet soda consumption with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke… Aspartame has been known for years to cause health problems.
"Following 2500 people over nearly a decade, researchers examined the health and lifestyle behaviors of the study participants and their incidence of specific health problems and diseases. Diet soda drinkers were 61% more likely than others to experience a stroke, with other factors controlled for in the analysis. While the study did not find a link between regular sodas (which don't contain Aspartame) and strokes, it is widely recognized that sodas are associated with a variety of health problems. People who drink just one regular soda a day are more likely to exhibit high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, and high fasting blood sugar levels.

"There may be a diet soda tie to other ailments and cancer, too... I recently attended the funeral of a 65 year old lady who had ovarian cancer. We can't prove this, but on the funeral program, one of the deceased lady's granddaugh ter's wrote an essay about her grandmother and one of the things she said her grandmother loved was "diet lime cola drinks.""

"The "caramel coloring" used to color all the top cola brands isn't natural caramel coloring at all. Instead, it's made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulfites at high temperatures. This reaction results in the formation of 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole, both of which are chemicals documented by the U.S. government to cause cancer in mammals."
