So, Diet Coke gives you a stroke?

Only if 15% or greater of your daily calories come from added sugar it seems.

It also mentions that 1 or more Sugar Sweetened Beverages per day can have similar detrimental impacts on cardiovascular health. That’s still quite a bit, 7 cokes per week avg.

Yeah that is a lot for someone who monitors their diet, but look at what the average US citizen consumes.

So don’t drink 3 sodas and coffee a day?

Sorry that doesn't appear to be correct from the quoted abstract results summary., the two conditions are listed as independently associated with the disease outcomes. So either diet coke causes strokes or is associated with other behaviours or factors that do.

Yep I would certainly choose artificially sweetened over sugar containing even if it's just the lesser of 2 evils
