The study established two control groups in which participants were asked to describe their consumption of soft drinks. Both groups were measured in blood pressure. The group that took drinks had a higher blood pressure.

The view of nutritionists and cardiologists

Several nutritionists and cardiologists have said the investigation was an observational study does not prove a cause-effect relationship.

For many experts it is better that people consume water or lightly sweetened tea or coffee. Faced with a choice of beverages high in sugar to the diet experts recommend without hesitation the latter.

But drinking diet does not ensure anything. New research shows that many people who drink diet soda also consume an unhealthy diet loaded with high fat content.

There are no hard and fast rule about drinking soda dietticasEl study in question did not correlate this type of behavior, so that conclusions are not decisive.

Good or bad? Good or bad?

Several studies are under review for publication, indicate that diet drinks are not harmful to human health.(purificadoras in Mexico)

Diet soft drinks are not the solution to problems such as obesity, no miracles, the consumption habits of consumers choose.

However there is a current, almost ideological, that demonizes soft drinks, whether natural sugar or sweeteners. Perhaps for these drinks are not bad, if not their producers, companies, the economic system even.

In this perspective there is no science that is worth. Although there are hundreds of studies attest that aspartame is a carcinogen, there are still activists who ignore scientific evidence.

This is the case Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group based in Washington DC.

For him the soft food diet is not healthy, although the cancer risk from consumption is probably small, sees no reason to accept the risk of consuming either diet or regular soda.

The association was pronounced

Maureen Storey, senior vice president for science policy of the American Beverage Association, disagrees. "People should be assured that diet drinks can be very useful to help in a weight loss program and for its maintenance," he says.

A comprehensive review of scientific literature says that aspartame is safe. And the beverage association says there is no evidence that the caramel coloring causes cancer in humans.

But despite this evidence, there are stakeholders on how health but very little science that supports health decisions.

The controversy will never end. Always publish a study that will put your finger on the product, the press acts as an amplifier that only generates an alarm.

We are still looking for the headlines on the front page of four columns that exonerate from blame the aspartame cancer.

Meanwhile, the beverage industry will continue to invest in research to find the perfect product, with the certainty that they will come.
