Diet soda linked to higher stroke risk in study
In a Northern Manhattan study population of 2,500 adults over 40, daily diet soda drinkers showed a 48 percent higher risk of stroke or heart attack than non drinkers. Researchers caution this is preliminary and propose water as a safer alternative while noting no clear mechanism.

The trial of 408 survivors shows similar 12 month walking improvements, with higher dizziness and fall risk in treadmill users.
