Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), Amid the proliferation of fast food that contain lots of fat and lifestyle changes part of the city, then the disease the disease as the impact of lifestyle changes that will be popping up more and more. One such disease is Hypertension or High Blood Pressure.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), Perhaps many of us who do not know what is meant by Hypertension, Hypertension outline can be defined as a disease commonly arise in the community which is a persistent increase of arterial pressure, ie diastolic pressure above 95 mmHg. Normal blood pressure is systolic pressure usually does not exceed 140 mmHg and diastolic pressures did not exceed 90 mmHg. But the benchmark normal blood pressure is individualistic.

Cause
As many as 90% of cases the cause is unknown. But it may also be secondary due to heart disease / kidney, diabetes, or tumors of the adrenal gland, drugs, or pregnancy.

Risk Factors
Smoking / drinking alcohol, eating lots of salt and fat, lack of exercise, obesity, and stress.

Symptoms and Signs
There are usually no symptoms until complications arise.

Complication
Stroke
Heart failure
Kidney damage.

Prevention
After 30 years of age, blood pressure check every year.
Do not smoke / drink alcohol
Reduce weight if excessive
Perform aerobic exercise
Learn the ways to control stress.

Management

Management of patients with hypertension are:
Treatment without drugs, among other things: a diet low in salt / cholesterol / saturated fat, emotional stress relief, stop smoking / alcohol, and light and regular physical exercise.
Antihypertensive drugs. There are many types of antihypertensive drugs currently available. For the selection of the right drugs are expected to contact a doctor.

With regular treatment and control, and avoiding risk factor for hypertension, the mortality from this disease can be suppressed.

Maintain Oral Health in Children

Maintain Oral Health in Children, Teeth in children is the capital for the development of the child. Because the baby teeth of children will determine the permanent teeth of children. If a child has healthy teeth are not causing the child's difficulty in digesting food can cause a child to experience disruption of peroses growth. As a result, children become ill frequently. Therefore, as parents should give special attention on this issue.

Maintain Oral Health in Children, The growth of teeth in children is marked by the appearance of teeth on the surface of the gums and teeth followed by a change in position of the tooth supporting bone to its functional position in the oral cavity. The period of the clinical appearance of the teeth is a sign of a child's growth. One function of milk teeth is to develop a child's speech function. It also plays a role in functions related to cosmetics in the appearance of children. Indirect speech can be affected if the child realizes that his teeth were damaged so that children become reluctant to open his mouth when speaking.

Indicators of oral health can be seen from oral hygiene and the presence or absence of gingivitis (gum inflammation). Gingivitis is an inflammation that involves the gingival tissue (gums) around the teeth. Gingivitis in children caused by the presence of plaque (soft mass attached to the tooth surface and contain colonies of bacteria) and calculus (plaque that has hardened), which is associated with oral hygiene is not good. This gingivitis disease if left will become destructive forms of periodontal tissues (tissues around the teeth).

Dental care in children should be introduced early. Even since she was a baby. Here are tips and tricks that can parents do when caring for the baby teeth.

To avoid damage to the tooth, especially dental cavities, porous, and swelling of the gums, better parents considering the diet of children, namely by not giving a sweet and sticky foods. Because the sweet and sticky foods will react in the mouth and form acids that damage tooth enamel.

Toward better sleep children are not given a drink containing sugar such as milk, juice, or other sweet drinks without doing brushing or cleaning teeth afterwards. Because this can cause damage to the teeth, even rotten to the gum surface.

When children, especially infants used to drinking milk in the bottle before bed to sleep, clean their teeth with cotton or cloth that has been dampened. Or better fill the bottle with water if that child has a habit of holding a bottle or a drink with a bottle before bed.

Attention parents of child dental care greatly affect the dental health of children, especially children who are under five years old. Because the dental health of children under five still need the support of their parents, especially mothers. For it is given early introduction to dental hygiene for instance by providing examples of brushed teeth, or for toddlers to do the cleaning teeth with a damp cotton or cloth.

If the child is already quite large, parents should help children to start brushing routine. How to teach and give examples of how to hold a toothbrush and brush their teeth properly

To examine your teeth regularly to the dentist. Children better introduced early to the dentist, can take and when the father and mother did dental examinations. So that children do not experience fear when faced with the dentist.

Malaria

Malaria is a disease affecting humans, birds, monkeys and other primates, reptiles and rodents, which is caused by infection with protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and easily recognizable from feverish symptoms (hot and cold chills) and prolonged fever. Malaria is a disease affecting humans, birds, monkeys and other primates, reptiles and rodents, which is caused by infection with protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and easily recognizable from feverish symptoms (hot and cold chills) and prolonged fever.

Malaria, With the advent of control programs based on the use of residual insecticides, the spread of malaria have been able to overcome rapidly.

Since 1950, malaria was successfully eradicated in most of Continental Europe and in regions like Central America and South America. However, this disease remains a major problem in some parts of the continent of Africa and Southeast Asia. About 100 million cases of malaria occur each year and about 1 percent of them fatal. Like most other tropical diseases, malaria is the leading cause of death in developing countries.

Rapid population growth, migration, poor sanitation, as well as areas that are too dense, to help facilitate the spread of the disease. The opening of new lands and displacement of people from villages to cities (urbanization) has allowed the contact between mosquitoes with humans who lived in the area.

Malaria disease that occurs in humans
Malaria has 4 types, and each caused by different parasite species. Symptoms of each type is usually a fever, cold chills and hot sweats. In some cases that is not accompanied by treatment, these symptoms reappear periodically. The lightest type of malaria is malaria tertiana caused by Plasmodium vivax, with symptoms of fever may occur once every two days after the first symptoms occur (may happen for 2 weeks after infection).

Jungle fever (jungle fever), malaria aestivo-autumnal or also known as tropical malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the cause of most deaths from malaria. These organisms often form in the way of blood to the brain, causing coma, delirium, and death. Malaria caused by Plasmodium kuartana malariae, has an incubation period longer than tertiana malaria or tropical diseases, the first symptoms usually do not appear until 18 to 40 days after infection. The symptoms are then likely to recur every 3 days. Type the four and is the most rare type of malaria was found, caused by Plasmodium ovale tertiana similar to malaria.

In the incubation period of malaria, protozoa grow in liver cells; a few days before the first symptoms occur, these organisms invade and destroy red blood cells in line with their development, thus causing the fever.

Handling
Since 1638 malaria has been treated with sap from the bark of cinchona tree, better known by the name of quinine, which is actually toxic and suppress the growth of protozoa in tissue blood. In 1930, the German drugs expert had found Atabrine (quinacrine hydrocloride) which is then more effective than quinine and toxic levels are lower. Since the end of the second world war, chloroquine is considered better able to ward off and cure fever jungle in total, are also more effective in suppressing the types of malaria compared with Atabrine or quinine. The drug also contains low levels of toxins than most other drugs earlier and proved to be effective without the need to be used continuously.

However, recently strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the organism which causes tropical malaria showed a resistance to chloroquine and other synthetic anti-malarial drugs. Strains of this type are found mainly in Vietnam, and also in the peninsula Malaysia, Africa and South America. Quinine is also becoming less effective against strains of plasmodium falciparum.

Along with the emergence of parasite strains resistant to these drugs, the fact that some species carrying mosquitoes (Anopheles) has a resistance to insecticides such as DDT has resulted in an increasing number of cases of malaria in some tropical countries. As a result, malaria cases also increase in tourists from America and Western Europe who came to Asia and Central America and also among the refugees from the area. The tourists who come to a place plagued by malaria disease being spread, can be given anti-malarial drugs such as prophylactic (preventive medicine).

Malaria prevention medicines are often still used up until a few weeks after returning from travel. Mefloquine has been proven effective against strains of malaria resistant to chloroquine, as well as treatment or prevention. But the drug is currently being investigated whether it can cause adverse side effects. A combination of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine are used for prevention in the areas that have malaria resistant to chloroquine. While proguanil is used only as a precaution.

Currently, experts are still trying to find a vaccine for malaria. Several vaccines are now considered qualified to clinically tested safety and effectiveness of using volunteers, while other experts are trying to find a vaccine for general use. Investigation is underway to find a number of drugs with basic materials artemisin, used by expert Chinese medicine to cure fever. Material is effective against Plasmodium falciparum but is still very difficult to propagate in number.

Dangers of Menthol Cigarette

Dangers of Menthol Cigarette, Most cigarette lovers must know that menthol taste give different flavors while smoking. However, a study of menthol cigarette prove two times more dangerous than regular cigarettes.

Dangers of Menthol Cigarette, Research involving 1.700 people of smokers was conducted by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ).

The result is predictable with the sensation of menthol cigarettes is much more dangerous. The reason menthol cigarettes make a person difficult to quit than regular cigarettes.

"This study shows that nicotine and carbon monoxide were more common in menthol cigarette that makes the audience hard to stop," said Kunal Gandhi, one of the researchers, as reported by ScienceDaily, Tuesday (13/01/2009).

"They're hard to stop because the menthol makes it easier nicotine effects in," he continued.

To that end, the researchers strongly denied the existence of menthol cigarettes. Moreover, these cigarettes are among the most favored by young people and women. The reason, no doubt, cigarettes have become part of the lifestyle of the young metropolis.

"Manufacture of menthol cigarette targeted at consumers who have limited funds, such as young children. In order for them to continue to 'addiction', although in an amount not suck a lot every day, "said Kunal.

Lack of Sleep Increases the Risk of Stroke and Heart Disease

Lack of Sleep Increases the Risk of Stroke and Heart Disease, Staying up late is not good. Moreover continues the canal. Not only damage the body, it turns out continuous sleep deprivation can lead to increasingly close to death.

Lack of Sleep Increases the Risk of Stroke and Heart Disease, Researchers at the University of Warwick, England found lack of sleep related to various disorders that often result in premature death.

Prolonged sleep deprivation increases the risk of suffering a stroke or heart disease. The tendency to stay up and wake up too early is described as a "time bomb" by researchers at the University of Warwick.

This assessment is based on long-term study, based on the experience of hundreds of thousands of people in eight countries. The report, published in European Heart Journal, covering more than 470 000 participants in eight countries, including Japan, the United States, Sweden and the UK include those aged 7 to 25 years.

Dr Michelle Miller of the University of Warwick states, those with less sleep in stage Konis, her body produces hormones and chemicals that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.

Professor Francesco Cappuccio, co-Miller stated, if less than six hours sleep per night and disturbed sleep is 48 percent more likely to die from heart disease and 15 percent more likely to die from a stroke.

But do not mean much sleep good for health. Cappuccio also warned of the implications of sleeping too much, more than nine hours it could indicate a disease that settle in the body, such as heart disease.

Cord Blood

Cord Blood, When certain conditions are sometimes someone needs blood in quick time, like for example in conditions of war. Now researchers have developed artificial blood that can be used in an emergency.

Cord Blood, United States scientists have developed 'artificial blood' that can be used when soldiers wounded in battle. Genetic Engineering of blood is made by taking cells from the umbilical cord, then use a machine that could mimic the workings of the bone marrow to produce a number of red blood cells.

As quoted from Dailymail, blood is made by using hematopoietic cells taken from umbilical cord in a process called 'pharming'. The umbilical cord can produce 20 units of blood that can be used.

Blood cells are produced using this method are functionally no different from the red blood cells in circulating blood of healthy or original. Because this technique essentially mimics the workings of the spinal cord, but the process is conducted in the laboratory.

If this is approved, it could be a revolution in the state of war. Because in this condition tend to be difficult to get blood donors to help care for wounded soldiers.

In addition, blood transfusion process in the region or state of war is far more difficult than usual blood donors.

This research project has been conducted since 2008, the possibility of this artificial blood can be used for the military within the next five years. A unit of blood contains about one-eighth to one-tenth of the total blood in the human body.

Currently, researchers have made a blood 'pharmed' to type O negative blood group which is the most sought-after. This is because blood type can be used for all types of patients.

Blood is a liquid contained in all living organisms except plants, its main function is to deliver substances and oxygen needed by body tissues.

In addition, blood also serves to transport the chemical products of metabolism as well as the body's defense against viruses or bacteria.

Irritant contact dermatitis caused by a specific chemical effect. While allergic contact dermatitis is usually about people who are sensitive to everyday substances. This substance which, if there are metal attached to the skin, sometimes cause allergies. Examples of objects that contain these substances include costume jewelry, rubber, creams, ointments, and other.Skin Allergies.

Symptoms
Symptoms of allergy usually characterized by skin redness, swelling, blisters, and itching appeared in the area of the skin.

Treatment
The main principle of treatment is to relieve allergy symptoms and prevent, not cure. In fact, sometimes a mild skin allergy does not require special treatment. These symptoms will disappear after a while.

Cancer Hazard to Smokers

Cancer hazard to smokers

dangers of smoking:
1. Warn us all that harmful tobacco in any form.
Cigarettes, pipe tobacco, bidis, clove, clove-scented cigarettes, snus, snuff, smokeless tobacco, cigars ... all dangerous.
2. Warn us all that the tobacco in the type, name and any sense of equal dangers. Tobacco dangerous in any guise. Mild, light, low tar, full flavor, fruit flavored, chocolate flavored, natural, additive-free, organic cigarettes, PREPS (Potentially Reduced-Exposure Products), harm-reduced ... are all dangerous. Labels are NOT indicate that the products in question are safer than other products without such labels.
3. Demand that the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to immediately ratify the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) for the health of the nation. Indonesia is the only country in Asia which has not signed this international agreement.

Lung and bronchial cancer is breast cancer and prostate cancer the most common cancer in Western industrialized countries. After evaluation of the Robert Koch Institute is lung cancer in 2004 in Germany, the third most common in men and in women Krebsneuerkrankung. In men, lung cancer occurs at an average of 70 per 100,000 in women with 100 30 per 000. Regardless of risk factors increased from 35 Age of disease is likely to slow. The average age of onset for men and women in about 68 years.

Krebs is a physician and citizen of Germany and British biochemist Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his work in explaining the process of metabolism (especially in finding the urea cycle and citrate cycle). He was born on August 25, 1900 in Hildesheim (Lower Saxony, Germany) from Georg Krebs partner (also a doctor) and Alma. He died in Oxford, England on November 22, 1981.

Cancer Hazard to Smokers, The most common causes:
• Smoking
Continuous exposure of the respiratory tract by smoking increases the risk of lung cancer carcinoma. In men, up to 90%, with women now up to 60% of lung cancers are caused by active smoking. Cigarette smoke or the fact the substance and can damage the mucous membrane so that the degeneration of mucosal cells. Promote About 16% of men and 9% of women who smoke become ill from lung cancer. Risk of lung tumors increased with the number of cigarettes smoked, duration of smoking, concentrations of tar and nicotine in cigarettes and the frequency of passive smoking.

Nicotine is an alkaloid compound found in plants tambakau. Nicotine is a colorless liquid, is a volatile base. Nicotine change color to brown and smell like tobacco after contact with air; levels in tobacco between 1-2%.

Duration is a weighted average of the time against all bond cash flows, which was developed to combine ¬ coupon rate to maturity. The duration can be used as a measurement sen ¬ sitivitas bond prices are more precise than at maturity at a small interest rate changes. The higher the duration of a bond the more sensitive to changes in interest rates. In a large interest rate changes, perngggunaan duration as measure ¬ cent price sitivitas be inappropriate, because the bond price curve is not linear to the change ¬ han interest rates, but are konvek. Convexity is a measure of obli ¬ trunk convexity curve showing the relationship between price and results to maturity. The more convex curve tresebut means bond prices more sensitive to changes in yield. The existence of Convexity of bonds indicates that the bond price changes are not symmetrical with respect to changes in interest rates. Use of duration and Convexity together to measure price changes caused by major changes in the level of results diingginkan, can produce estimates of price changes better.

Mucosa is a layer on the surface which can be in touch. Mucosa composed of mucous membranes and surfaces similar to the inner lining of the mouth.
Unlike the smooth lining of the mouth, vagina have wrinkles and folds.
Layer after layer of it is muscle.

Carcinoma is a form of cancer that most commonly infect humans, growing from epithelial tissues such as skin and lining of the cavity and body organs and tissues such as breast and prostate gland.

The prostate is a small gland of a walnut that surrounds the upper urethra, drainage of the bladder. Prostate function remove the mixture of fluids and enzymes needed by the sperm to stay healthy. Prostate usually work well until most people are not aware of its existence until their 40s or 50s. While some are getting problems when aged in their 30s.

epithelium is one of four basic networks (the other: connective tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue). Formerly the term used to describe membrane epithelial clear above the surface of red bumps on lip webbing connector (epithelium: Epi above; Thele lips). This term is now used for all network that covers anything and channel structure.

Matting is the art of knitting which typically uses material from bamboo, rattan, leaves having fibers which can be diluted (water hyacinth, palm leaves, pandanus leaves, etc.) and plastics.

Prostate Cancer and Masturbation

Prostate Cancer and Masturbation , Men who are sexually active at the age of '20 and '30 have a higher risk for prostate cancer. Based on research at more than 800 men published in the British Journal of Urology International (BJU International), it is especially when the frequency of masturbation is quite high. Researchers in England also revealed the results of research that sexual activity in men aged '40 has the effect of lower frequencies and even lower in men aged '50s to provide protection from prostate cancer. This research aimed at more masturbation activity compared with intimate partner relationships.

Prostate Cancer and Masturbation, Research under the coordination of the University of Nottingham researchers are taking the subject of research - with a focus on their sexual activity - more than 431 men. All had been diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 60 years, along with 409 control subjects.

The men who participated in this study are given a question from various aspects of their sexual life since the age of '20. Including at what age they become sexually active? How often do they masturbate and have intercourse? How many sexual partners they are, and whether they have a sexually transmitted disease?

"We find the relationship between sexual activity and young men the same as the relationship between prostate cancer in elderly men. The prevalence of the disease increases in men aged 50 years, "said Dr. Polyxeni Dimitropoulou from the University of Cambridge.

Hormones play a role in prostate cancer and treatment in general is to reduce the levels of hormones that stimulate cancer cell growth. A man's libido is also regulated by these hormonal levels. Therefore this study tried to find the relationship between the libido of a man with risk of prostate cancer.

All men with prostate cancer diagnosed at the age of the '50s. Most of the men who participated in this study (97 percent) were white and the majority married (84 percent) or widowed, separated or divorced (12 percent).

Some interesting points raised in this research are:
As many as 59 percent of men in both groups said they were sexually active (intercourse or masturbation) 12 times per month or more at the age of '20. This figure decreases with age to 48 percent in the 30s, 28 percent at the age of '40, and 13 percent at the age of '50s .2

As many as 39 percent of the cancer group had six or more female partners, compared with 31 percent in the control group.

Men with prostate cancer have a tendency to suffer from sexually transmitted diseases than those who do not suffer from prostate cancer.

Most men with prostate cancer have sexual activity (intercourse or masturbation) higher than men from the control group. As many as 40 percent of men with prostate cancer had the highest frequency at the age of '20 (20 times or more per month) compared with 32 percent of the control group. The same pattern was also found in men aged '30 and '40. At the age of the '50s, 31 percent of each group included in the category fairly often (10 times or more per month).

Men with prostate cancer more often than men masturbate than the control group, with the highest frequency at the age of '20 (34 percent vs. 24 percent) and '30 (41 percent vs. 31 percent). The difference is not too far away at the age of '40 (34 percent vs. 28 percent) and age of the '50s (25 percent vs. 26 percent).

What makes this study different from previous research is the focus of the research leading to youth and involve both masturbation and intercourse at various stages of life. Broadly speaking, this study found a significant relationship between prostate cancer and sexual activity in older men of '20 and between masturbation and prostate cancer at the age of '20 and '30. However, there is no significant relationship between sexual activity and prostate cancer at the age of '40.

The most rational explanation for the protective effect in men aged '50s derived from sexual relations, and especially masturbation. Sexual intercourse or masturbation is the release of toxins that accumulate during sexual activity and reduce the risk of cancer in the prostate. This theory has not stood stable and further research is still needed.

The Most Dangerous Viruses

The Most Dangerous Viruses

1. Polio
At the peak of the epidemic of polio in the 1950's, there are more than 13,000 cases involving paralysis and 1,000 deaths each year from disease, many of them children around the world.

2. Elephant Feet
Spread by mosquito bites, parasitic worm that causes elephantiasis, lodged in the lymph system, which controls the immune response and swelling of fluid retention to occur. The most common swelling in the legs, but can also occur on the arms, breasts or genitals, causing them to swell and deform to large sizes.

3. Botulism
BT is the work of general soil bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Bacteria can be transmitted through food contaminated with bacteria or spores, or through open wounds. In one or two days, emerging neurological symptoms, including slurred speech, blurred vision and difficulty breathing. Muscles move more weak, reflex stop working, could be paralyzed limbs. Finally, the diaphragm and other breathing muscles stop working, causing death. Antitoxin and antibiotics to stop the progression of the disease.

4. Leprosy and Leprosy
The disease, also known as Hansen's disease, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, a bacterium that infects the peripheral nerves. Without the function of nerves to feel pain and temperature, the patient can often inadvertently injure themselves and opportunistic infections can take hold, sometimes causing loss of fingers or toes. For centuries, the disease is believed to be a curse. Stories abound about the terrifying symptoms such as skin turned into dead flesh and limbs are suddenly released.

5. Mad Cow Virus
Mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, transmitted through contaminated meat and cause some horrible degenerative neurological symptoms, including dementia, loss of nervous system and muscle control, and ultimately, death.

6. Naegleria (bacteria eaters Amoeba Brain Network)
This little amoeba that attacks the brain tissue in the body's mark with seizures began, followed by a comma. Living in the warm waters of the United States enter the body through the nostrils.

7. Invulnerability Antibiotics Bacteria
Is a mutation of the bacterial antibiotic that attacks the body's immune system.

8. Rabies
Foaming at the mouth, difficulty swallowing, an insane fear of water, anger, delusions and hallucinations are indirectly impact of this virus. Spread through the saliva of animals (usually through dog bites.) If the rabies virus attacks the nervous system is highly lethal if it has reached the brain

9. Ebola, Hanta & Dengue Fever
This virus attacks the body's third virus that spreads through blood with the victim. The virus is spread through animal feces and free air.

10. HIV / AIDS
A virus that attacks the immune one, and until now no cure. Like waiting for death if you've contracted the virus.

Diet Soda and Stroke

Diet Soda and Stroke, Scientists from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Miami, United States, find diet soda not only reduce the number of calories in the body, but also reduce the risk of someone suffered a stroke.

Diet Soda and Stroke, Chairman Hannah Gardener study describes patients who consume a can of soda every day can increase blood pressure, triglycerid content in the blood, cholesterol, and widening the waist that trigger a stroke.

Small soda intake, but consumed each day is as dangerous with a high intake of soda consumed irregularly. "Of the patients we check out, patients who did not consume soda potential stroke decreased 61%," said Gardener.

become soda diet soda solution for enthusiasts who do not want to hoard a lot of calories. But behind this benefit is another danger threatens. According to a recent study, a diet soda you drink each day can boost risk of stroke.

"In our study, we saw a significant increase in risk among those who drink diet soda every day and not a regular soda," said Hannah Gardener, an epidemiologist at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Gardener to present her research at the International Stroke Conference 2011 in Los Angeles on Wednesday (9 / 2). Previous studies of other teams say that drinking more than one can of soft drink every day, whether regular or diet soda, more likely than non-drinkers to have metabolic syndrome.

That is a group of risk factors for high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides (blood fats), low levels of good cholesterol, high blood sugar and a large waist. Metabolic syndrome is, in turn, increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Gardener cs observe soda drinking habits of 2564 people registered in the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS) to see if anything to do with stroke. The participants average 69 years old and fill out questionnaires about the types of soda they drink and how often.

During pengaajian nine years, recorded 559 vascular events, including strokes caused by bleeding and those caused by clotting, known as ischemic stroke.

The researchers have considered a number of factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, physical activity, caloric intake, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, and from there still find evidence that those who drink diet soda every day - compared with those who drank no soda - 61 percent more likely to experience vascular events.
