2,564 participants in the Northern Manhattan Study were examined as to how frequently they drank soft drinks, that is diet and regular, and the number of strokes and heart attacks incurred were monitored over a decade.

They discovered that those who drank diet soft drinks every day were 43 percent more likely to have undergone strokes than those who drank none.

Light diet soft drink consumers, that is, "those who drank between one a month and six a week," and those who drank regular soft drinks were not more susceptible to develop vascular health problems.
