Is diet coke healthy?

Sugar-free cola contains sugar substitutes, which is harmful to heart health.

Drinking coke for a long time has a great influence on human health. Many people think that this is caused by the sugar in cola, so they choose to drink sugar-free cola. However, Diet Coke is actually not healthy. Sugar substitute is used in diet coke, which is considered as a neurotoxin that damages the nervous system.

According to the British "Daily Mail" report, new research shows that sugar-free carbonated drinks may also increase the risk of heart disease or stroke. Researchers from the University of Miami presented the results of this study at the International Stroke Conference of the American Stroke Association in Los Angeles, USA. They investigated the eating habits of 2564 volunteers and asked them whether they drank sugar-free drinks, ordinary drinks, both or none. A 9-year study found that people who drink sugar-free carbonated drinks every day have an increased risk of stroke and heart disease by 665,438+0%. At the same time, the study shows that drinking sugar-free drinks can still increase the death risk of stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases by 48% when taking into account factors such as diabetes history, waist circumference and lifestyle.

Hannah Gordon, an epidemiologist at the University of Miami who led the study, said that although it is not completely clear why sugar-free drinks increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is probably because people who like sugar-free drinks have unhealthy lifestyles, such as alcoholism, smoking and lack of exercise. The researchers said that if this result is confirmed in the following study, then if you want to keep cardiovascular health, you have to give up drinking cola.

Therefore, cola is not good for human health, whether it is sugar-containing or sugar-free cola will have a certain impact on human health. If you want to be healthy, you'd better not drink alcohol or drink too much coke.
