Consumption of artificially sweetened drinks raises the risk of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes irregular heartbeat, a study has revealed.
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can lead to blood clots in the heart and increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. It is estimated that 12.1 million people in the United States will have AFib in 2030, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
