Deep dives

Atrial Fibrillation Risk Associated with Artificially Sweetened Beverages

Consumption of artificially sweetened beverages was studied for its potential link to atrial fibrillation risk. The study found no increased risk with consumption less than one or one to two liters per week, but a 20% higher risk for those consuming greater than two liters per week. However, the genetic risk for atrial fibrillation greatly outweighed the impact of artificially sweetened beverages on risk.
