Study Links Diet Sodas to Increased Risk of Heart Arrhythmias

Recent research reveals that consuming more than two liters of diet soda weekly may significantly raise the likelihood of developing irregular heartbeats.

• New studies suggest a connection between the consumption of diet sodas and a heightened risk of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat.
• Individuals drinking over two liters of diet beverages weekly were found to be 20% more likely to develop atrial fibrillation compared to non-consumers.
• Regular soda drinkers also face risks, with a 10% increase in atrial fibrillation symptoms observed in those consuming more than two liters per week.
• Pure, unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice drinkers showed an 8% lower risk of developing irregular heartbeats than soda drinkers.
• Experts recommend limiting or avoiding both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages to reduce the risk of heart arrhythmias.
