People who consume two or more diet sodas per day are 30% more likely to suffer a cardiovascular event and 50% more likely to die from related disease than those who rarely consume the drinks, according to latest research presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session.
This is not the first study to report such findings. A 2012 study by French researchers published in “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” found a strong correlation between diet drinks and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Aspartame, the artificial sweetener used in drinks like Diet Sodas, is widely reported to show a correlation between cancer and aspartame consumption.

By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
