what effect do diet sodas have on the kidneys
Diet Soda, Aspartame Shown to Destroy Kidney Function. In an 11-year study by scientists at the Brigham and Womenâs Hospital in Boston, there was a strong positive correlation found between degeneration of kidney function and consumption of aspartame-containing diet soda.
Both sweetened and diet soda have been found to increase the risk of high blood pressure because of the caffeine that soda contains. High blood pressure is one major cause of kidney damages and it is also the major risk factors to speed up decline rate of kidney functions. If you already have kidney disease or you are at high risk, you need to avoid too much drinking of soda.
