A study has claimed that drinking sugar-free sweetened drinks raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 10 per cent, with less than a can a day enough to cause health damage.

Millions drink diet fizzy drinks as they have zero calories but scientists in France claim it is incorrect to think of artificial sweeteners as a safe swap for sugar.

Writing in the British Medical Journal, lead author Dr. Mathilde Touvier - from the French National Institute for Health - said: "This study suggests an association between higher artificial sweetener consumption and increased heart disease risk.

"Artificial sweeteners are in thousands of food and beverage brands worldwide.

"However, they remain a controversial topic and are currently being re-evaluated by health agencies."

Dr. Touvier added: "These food additives, consumed daily by millions of people, should not be considered a healthy and safe alternative to sugar."

Interested read, since there’s huge studies showing that artificial sweetners are harmless

I’d be interested to see how they reached this conclusion

"I’m fucked then as it’s all about the Pepsi Max when it comes to soft low calorie drinks for me

Looks like I'll be joining your new "I'm fucked" club lol...I've been drinking Pepsi Max for years

When I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes I was told it was okay to carry on drinking it, as fruit juice and even some of the NAS squashes became a big NO-NO
