Those who drink a can of diet soda a day are 34% more likely to develop metabolic syndrome than those who don't.

"Metabolic syndrome" is a cluster of symptoms that are risk factors for heart disease.

The reason for this link is still unknown: it might be chemical or it might have something to do with other behaviors that are, for whatever reason, common to diet soda drinkers.
