New US research has found that postmenopausal women who drink more than two diet drinks each day may have a higher risk of stroke. During an evaluation three years into the study, the women were asked to report on how often they had consumed diet drinks such as low-calorie, artificially-sweetened colas, sodas and fruit drinks in the last three months. The researchers then adjusted the findings to take into account various stroke risk factors such as age, high blood pressure and smoking.
