New study finds link between ‘diet’ soft drinks and heart problems

Research has found a link between diet soft drinks and cardiac problems.

The research, from France, has been going since 2009 and 100,000 adults have been involved.

Neil Mitchell spoke with Dr Ross Walker about the study.

“Any sugary drinks or artificially-sweetened drinks that are soft drinks aren’t good for you,” he said.
