Diet sodas cause kidney problems: Study
Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:47:41 GMT

While diet sodas are gaining more popularity among
individuals worried about their calorie intake, a new study
finds these drinks are linked to kidney problems.

According to the study presented at the annual meeting of
the American Society of Nephrology in San Diego, drinking
two or more diet sodas per day doubles the risk of
developing impaired kidney function.

A 30 percent drop was reported in the glomerular filtration
rate (GFR), an index determining the function of the
kidneys, of women who drank two or more artificially
sweetened sodas per day.

"Thirty percent is considered significant,'' said lead
researcher Julie Lin, adding that natural aging is
associated with only 1 mL per minute per year decline in
GFR.

Drinking less than two sodas a day, however, does not affect
kidney function in these women.

Scientists added that high salt intake is also associated
with a faster decline in kidney function.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
