As a result, 1502 cases of heart problems emerged in 9 years. These problems included heart attack, stroke, angina pectoris.
According to the results of this study, 346 out of 100,000 people who consume too much sweeteners develop cardiovascular disease, while 314 out of 100,000 people who do not consume artificial sweeteners at all develop cardiovascular disease.
