Yikes! According to the January ’13 Bottom Line Health, drinking diet soda is linked to leukemia.
“When 22 years of health data on about 125,000 adults were assessed, those who drank at least one 12-ounce can of diet soda containing aspartame a day were 42 percent more likely to be diagnosed with leukemia.”
Researchers believe that the link may be due to the fact that aspartame appears to break down into compounds that become carcinogenic, but more research is needed.
