Researchers in Paris examined participants' intake of sweeteners from all dietary sources including drinks, table top sweeteners, and dairy products.
During an average follow-up period of nine years, 1,502 cardiovascular events were recorded by participants.This included heart attacks, strokes, transient ischemic attacks and angina - chest pain linked to poor blood flow to heart muscles.
And when they looked specifically at each type of illness they found artificial sweetener consumption was linked to an 18% higher risk of cerebrovascular disease - conditions which affect the blood flow to the brain. "In this large-scale, prospective cohort of French adults, artificial sweeteners were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and coronary heart diseases," the authors wrote.
