Drinking more sugary drinks like soda is linked to higher chances of dying from any cause, heart problems, and diabetes in both adults and teenagers.

Drinking one or more diet sodas every day might be linked to a higher chance of dying from any cause, especially heart problems or stroke — even though these sweeteners are considered safe by regulators.

People who drink diet sodas and other artificially sweetened drinks may be more likely to have a stroke, heart disease, or even die sooner — even if they’re not overweight or don’t smoke.

Drinking more sugary drinks like soda is linked to a higher chance of heart problems, partly because it makes you gain weight, but also because it directly messes with your blood sugar, insulin, fats in your blood, and blood pressure.

If you drink one more sugary drink each day, you’re 22% more likely to have a heart attack — so more sugary drinks might mean more heart problems.
