If you have been opting for diet drinks as a healthier alternative to sugary drinks, you may want to reconsider the next time you reach for one.

A 10-year study based on more than 104,000 people has revealed artificially sweetened beverages — such as diet soft drinks, juice or coffees — could be just as bad for your heart as the full-sugar version.on Tuesday, suggested participants who consumed sugary beverages had a higher risk of cardiovascular illness.it also discovered participants who consumed low, or no-calorie versions of sweet drinks also had a high chance of experiencing cardiovascular disease.

It found that consumers of both sugary and artificially sweetened drinks are up to 20 per cent more likely to suffer heart disease, stroke or heart attacks than those who avoid consuming sweetened beverages altogether. When it comes to diet drinks such as Diet Coke, which can contain artificial sweeteners, they are often advertised to people wanting to lose weight as a way to cut calories.
