I was at work today and the girls in the office were talking. They said that on the Nip and Tuck that there have been cases of diet pop being linked to stomach cancer. Well I did some research.

Here is what I read:

Susan Mayne, a cancer epidemiologist at the Yale University School of medicine, and colleagues studied 1,095 cancer patients and compared them to 687 healthy control subjects. They conducted full dietary interviews and compiled data on how much regular and diet soda each subject drank.

The researchers found that soda drinkers were actually less likely to develop esophageal carcinoma. Furthermore, when the researchers separated subjects who drank mostly regular soda versus diet soda, they found that the latter group had a 53 percent lower risk of developing the cancer.

The researchers warned against chugging diet soda as a ward against cancer, however, since it carries its own health risks, such as damaging tooth enamel.

Two articles on the net: Both were the same thing. It was also written up in the journal for the National Cancer Institue.

People really should do their research before passing things on.
