Artificial Sweeteners: 2 Fold Increase in Diabetes

Artificial sweeteners linked to two fold increase in diabetes. Interesting connection sighted in a blog post. It is long realized that artificially sweetened drinks provide a health risk, and a poor choice nutritionally, but this possible connection to diabetes seems new. There is no evidence that these drinks are causally related, but that is not unbelievable: needing to be explored. That there is an association is easily understandable.

Sugar free drinks have been touted to diabetics since forever. There are great healthy drink choice like tea or water, but there aren't the marketing bucks in that.
