Two or more diet drinks a day increase the risk of stroke, heart disease and the likelihood of an early death, research suggests.
A large study involving more than 80,000 women found that drinking two or more diet drinks a day - including fizzy drinks and fruit-based diet drinks - increased the risk of stroke by 23 per cent.
Compared with women who consumed diet drinks less than once a week or not at all, women who consumed two or more artificially-sweetened drinks per day were also 29 per cent more likely to develop heart disease and 16 per cent more likely to die from any cause.
