Study: Diet Soda Doesn't Raise Diabetes Risk

For a long time, diet soda and other artificially-sweetened drinks have been blamed for raising the chance of developing diabetes. But a new study from Harvard University says, that's not true.

Researchers followed a large group of men over a 20-year period, and found that while those who drank regular soda and other sugary drinks were more likely to develop diabetes, those who drank artificially-sweetened soft drinks, didn't.

The study said that replacing sugary drinks with diet versions, seems to be a healthy alternative.

The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
