     据2017年4月20日美国中风杂志报告，研究表明饮用人工代糖饮料(Artificially-Sweetened Beverages)可明显增加中风或痴呆的风险。作者研究了4千3百人的“Framingham心脏病”数据，发现毎日至少喝一杯代糖饮料的人的中风或痴呆风险可增加3倍。相比之下，喝糖饮料者没有这样的风险，但长期饮用高糖饮料也可能增加痴呆前兆。

     也有学者指出要对发现持谨慎态度，不易过早下结论，至少目前还没有合理的“因果关系”可以解释这些数据。

     因这个研究可能会产生的广泛影响，饮料公司当然不会轻易接受这个结果，还会列出大量的数据和实例来反驳，比如，股神巴菲特的最爱饮料就是可乐。显然，今后需要进行大规模的流行病学调查才能得出更肯定的结论，无利益冲突的科学研究尤以为重要。对于大众，在科学家们争论不休的同时，比较安全的做法还是回归饮茶。 (李永明)

     Consumption Of Artificially-Sweetened Beverages May Be Linked To Higher Risk Of Stroke, Dementia, Study Suggests

     The CBS Evening News (4/20, story 11, 1:30, Pelley) reported, “A new study is raising health concerns about diet soda.”

     NBC Nightly News (4/20, story 9, 1:55, Holt) reported that the research links diet sodas to a “significantly increased risk of stroke or dementia.”

     On its website, CBS News (4/20, Welch) reports that the study, published in Stroke, found that individuals “who drank at least one artificially-sweetened beverage a day had almost three times the risk of developing stroke or dementia.” The researchers “did not find the same link between stroke and dementia in people who drank sugar-sweetened beverages, but the authors say that doesn’t mean it’s time for people to start” consuming “those either.”

     Bloomberg News (4/20, Shanker) reports that another study, “by the same group of researchers,” indicated “that higher consumption of sugary beverages was associated with markers for pre-clinical Alzheimer’s disease.” That study was published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia.
