2017 scientific journal STROKE reported almost a 3 fold increase in the risk of stroke and Alzheimer's for people drinking artificially sweetend beverages

Results—​

After adjustments for age, sex, education (for analysis of dementia), caloric intake, diet quality, physical activity, and smoking, higher recent and higher cumulative intake of artificially sweetened soft drinks were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, all-cause dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease dementia. When comparing daily cumulative intake to 0 per week (reference), the hazard ratios were 2.96 (95% confidence interval, 1.26–6.97) for ischemic stroke and 2.89 (95% confidence interval, 1.18–7.07) for Alzheimer’s disease. Sugar-sweetened beverages were not associated with stroke or dementia.


Conclusions—​

Artificially sweetened soft drink consumption was associated with a higher risk of stroke and dementia.
