You may want to switch from soda to water.  According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, drinking just one can of soda per day, even diet soda, increases a person’s risk of stroke over time by 16 percent.  And the stroke risk increased for each additional can of soda consumed.  Surprisingly, it didn’t matter whether study participants were smokers, exercised or were overweight.  This was a large study conducted by researchers from Cleveland Clinic and Harvard, and appears to be good data.  So if you’d like to drop your risk of stroke, switch from soda to water!
