Artificially Sweetened Drinks Increase A-Fib: According to a new study, drinking two liters or more per week of artificially sweetened beverages can increase the risk of an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation by 20%. Atrial fibrillation, also known as A-fib, is often described as a “quiver” or “flutter” of the heart in the chest. On the other hand, drinking a similar amount of added-sugar beverages raised the risk by 10%, while drinking pure, unsweetened juices like orange or vegetable juice was linked to an 8% lower risk of A-fib. So, next time you reach for a drink, consider opting for some unsweetened juice to help lower your risk. Stay healthy and take care!
