The popular caffeinated drinks contains a chemical that breaks up DNA when it's digested.
Drinks such as Diet Coke and Red Bull that contain artificial sweeteners could increase your risk of developing cancer, scientists have warned.
This happens when sucralose reaches the gut and releases a chemical called sucralose-6-acetate, which scientists say "effectively broke up DNA in cells that were exposed to the chemical". They also exposed human gut tissues to sucralose and sucralose-6-acetate in a number of different tests and found that both chemicals caused a "leaky gut" - meaning waste products usually flushed through our systems leak into the bloodstream.
