Sudha Seshadri is a professor of neurology at Boston University School
of Medicine (MED) and a faculty member at the University’s Alzheimer’s Disease
Center. Senior author on both study papers containing data related to drinking
sugary drinks and sodas of any type, Seshadri reportedly said that the study
conclusions make it appear that there is not very much of an upside to having
sugary drinks, and substituting the sugar with artificial sweeteners doesn’t
seem to help. Smaller overall brain volume? Poorer episodic memory? A shrunken
hippocampus? A higher risk for stroke and dementia? Both sugary and diet drinks
are linked with an increased risk of accelerated brain aging? I don’t think so;
not for me. True, research studies do not say anything about a specific individual.
Nevertheless, water is my beverage of choice and part of my Longevity Lifestyle
journey.
