ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS X STROKE, Sugar-sweetened beverages were not associated with stroke or dementia.

  • The association between sugar- and artificially sweetened drink intake and risk for stroke or dementia was evaluated in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort. After adjusting for multiple confounders, both recent intake and cumulative intake of artificially sweetened drinks were associated with significantly greater risks for ischemic stroke and dementia.
  • Similar associations were not found for sugar-sweetened drinks.
