Let's talk about all that research on diet soda and death.
. Interestingly, though, there was an association between these illnesses and consuming artificially sweetened drinks. People who had two or more glasses a day of artificially sweetened soda or artificially sweetenedregularly sweetened soda had a higher risk of mortality from circulatory diseases than people who had less than a glass of any kind of soft drink per month.
The next highest cause of death was digestive diseases like esophageal or liver disease, . There was no statistically significant association between having only artificially sweetened drinks and a higher risk of early death from digestive diseases. Finally, around 1.
For the most part, diet soda consumption and overall increased risk of early mortality had a positive association, meaning the more someone drank diet soda, the higher their odds of early death. But in fact people who drank arisk of mortality than people who drank virtually no soda . In other words having a low amount of soda was associated with better health outcomes than having no soda or having a lot of soda.
To have a conclusive answer about all of this, in an ideal world scientists would take two groups of clones and have them lead identical lives for 20 years except one group would drink dietevery day and the other group would drink no soda. Then at the end of the 20 years, you might reasonably chalk up any disparity in health outcomes to the one difference between the groups: whether or not they drank diet soda. But since we don’t live in a dystopian sci-fi world, researchers can’t do that.
For instance, a major limitation of observational research are the bajillion other factors that can influence study results, also known as confounding variables. In this case, for example, “soft drink consumers were more likely to be current tobacco smokers…[and] high soft drink consumers had a higher BMI,” Mullee says.
