Sugary drinks like Canned Juice, Soft Drinks cause Poor Memory
Consuming diet soda daily can lead to stroke and dementia: People consuming sugary beverages such as sodas, canned fruit juices are more likely to have poorer memory according to studies published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia and the journal Stroke.
While those who drank diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to develop stroke and dementia in comparison to those who didn’t consume soda or packed juices.
“Our findings indicate an association between higher sugary beverage intake and brain atrophy, including lower brain volume and poorer memory,” explained corresponding author Matthew Pase.
“We also found that people drinking diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to develop stroke and dementia. This included a higher risk of ischemic stroke, where blood vessels in the brain become obstructed and Alzheimer’s disease dementia, the most common form of dementia,” he said.
The research was conducted on approximately 4,000 participants over the age of 30.
