Diet Soda, Heart Disease "Link": All Fizz

My response is to the comment about the

"lower economic status (Soda is cheaper than many healthier beverages, meaning people with less money--whom other studies have suggested are at higher risk for heart disease--are more likely to drink them.)"

Everyone I see swilling Diet Coke in tremendous amounts are either sitting in there luxury offices at work, by the pool at the country club, or in an extra large cup in the car while they drive kids all over town. This is not a lower income group. The difference is as apples and oranges.THe lower income soda drinkers are lower income for a reason and that may cause them to buy those types of lower income sodas. But the higher income folks buy higher income cokes, which is much more expensive than water and about even with the fruitties. THey have plenty of money and drink it because they love it.

That shouldn't be a very reliable study dince their is such an obvious diffence in soda drinkers.
