‘Diet’ Beverages Found to be Associated With Heart Complications – Study
By Victoria Teets – Sputnik – 27.10.2020
Newly published research concludes that artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) may not be a heart-healthy alternative to sugary drinks.
The study, published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, investigates the relationship between the consumption of ASBs and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a large group of people.
Researchers analyzed data from over 100,000 adult French volunteers participating in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort, an ongoing nutritional study launched in 2009 in which participants fill out three validated, web-based, 24-hour dietary records every six months. The study is expected to end in 2029.The volunteers for the study were divided into three groups: nonconsumers, low consumers and high consumers of diet or sugary beverages.
The category of “sugary beverages” included soft drinks, fruit drinks and syrups containing at least 5% sugar, as well as 100% fruit juice. The category of “diet drinks” consisted of beverages containing non-nutritive sweeteners, such as aspartame or sucralose, as well as natural ones like stevia.
The authors state that while following up on the data from 2011 to 2019, drinking sugary beverages and drinking ASBs were separately compared to any first cases of “stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome and angioplasty.”
They eliminated early cases of CVDs during the first three years and adjusted for a “range of confounders” that might skew the data. What they discovered was that compared to people who didn’t drink ASBs, high consumers were 20% more likely to have a CVD at any one time.
This result was similar to the difference in CVD occurrence between nonconsumers and high consumers of sugary drinks.
However, the authors do note that correlation does not necessarily imply causation:
“To establish a causal link, replication in other large-scale prospective cohorts and mechanistic investigations are needed,” researchers noted in their findings.
Due to public health interest, a 2019 study also set out to answer whether the consumption of sugary beverages or ASBs is associated with additional risk of mortality. Researchers examined the relationship between long-term consumption of sugary drinks and ASBs with the risk of mortality in adults living in the US.
They concluded that consumption of sugary beverages was “positively associated with mortality primarily through CVD mortality and showed a graded association with dose.”
This study states that “sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are the single largest source of added sugar in the US diet. They include the full spectrum of carbonated and noncarbonated soft drinks, fruit drinks, and sports drinks that contain added caloric sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, or fruit juice concentrates.”
The authors write, “In epidemiological studies, intake of SSBs has been associated with weight gain and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and stroke.”
Prior to their study, the researchers note, there had been very few studies examining the association between the consumption of such beverages and mortality.

How the CIA hid their MKULTRA mind-control program
By Jon Rappoport | No More Fake News | September 17, 2021
Back in the early 1990s, I spoke with John Marks, author of Search for the Manchurian Candidate. This was the book (1979) that helped expose the existence and range of the infamous CIA MKULTRA program.
Marks related the following facts to me. He had originally filed many Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests for documents connected to the CIA’s mind-control program. He got nothing back.
Finally, as if to play a joke on him, someone at the CIA sent Marks 10 boxes of financial and accounting records. The attitude was, “Here, see what you can do with this.”
I’ve seen some of those records. They’re very boring reading.
But Marks went through them, and lo and behold, he found he could piece together MKULTRA projects, based on the funding data.
Eventually, he assembled enough information to begin naming names. He conducted interviews. The shape of MKULTRA swam into view. And so he wrote his book, Search for the Manchurian Candidate.
He told me that three important books had been written about MKULTRA, and they all stemmed from those 10 boxes of CIA financial records. There was his own book; Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart; and The Mind Manipulators by Alan Scheflin and Edward Opton.
After publishing his book, Marks continued to press the CIA for more MKULTRA information. He explained to me what then happened. A CIA official told him the following… continue

I “weaned” myself off sugary drinks(Coke, Pepsi) about 30 years ago because of the high sugar content, and drinking something containing “Aspartame” had no appeal whatsoever. It was uncomfortable at first, but, after about a week or two, I found that sugary drinks were unbearable. I found that “Fresh, clean water” was the best drink there is to quench your thirst.
Try going off sugar, and you’ll never go back, after about one week.

If you look at ANY processed food on a Supermarket shelf, look at the ingredients, and you’ll find Sugar in EVERYTHING. Diabetes is now a huge world wide problem because WE don’t realise just how much Sugar we consume….(There’s SO MUCH sugar in a can of coke)………

Noted. I think this report could be a lot more inclusive (if that’s the right word). For example, I don’t think I found any comparison or contrast, in either sugary or non-sugary consumption, anent the *low consumer* component of “nonconsumers, low consumers and high consumers.” My sense of logic tells me that — duh — “low” (ergo, moderate) consumption of *either* sugary or non-sugary beverages will not adversely affect heart or overall health. But I don’t get that from the two readings I devoted to this post.
I can’t think very favorably of Ms. Teets’ (writing of “beverages”: what a great, evocative name!) coverage here….

Of course, the beauty of cool, fresh clean water, is that it can easily be transformed into beautiful cold beer……by the addition of SUGAR and yeast………..and, being an Australian, I love a cold beer(or 6) on a hot day……….
