Study: Diet Soda Not Related to Increased Diabetes Risk
April 18/Cambridge, Mass./Reuters -- Diet soda and other artificially sweetened drinks, previously implicated in the chance of developing diabetes, are not guilty, according to a study by researchers at Harvard University.
In a large group of men followed for 20 years, drinking regular soda and other sugary drinks often meant a person was more likely to get diabetes, but that was not true of artificially sweetened soft drinks, or coffee or tea.
