Artificially sweetened beverages
What can be worst than sugar-sweetened beverages? Well… simple: artificially sweetened ones such as diet soda. Studies suggest that artificially sweetened beverages could increase your risk of developing dementia or having a stroke. The study involved people who drank diet soda every single day (just like our former president).
At the end of the study, researchers concluded that the participants of the study were three times more likely to have a stroke.
And the real problem with most artificially sweetened drinks like diet soda is the fact that its sweet taste remains on the taste buds, making you crave even more cans. Kirkpatrick suggests kicking this bad habit immediately, adding that water could taste heavenly too if you add some berries to it.
