Do you drink soda? What about diet drinks? It may be increasing your risk for depression. According to Health Day News, "Older adults who down several diet drinks a day may have a heightened risk of developing depression, a new study suggests.

Interesting article.
I do not drink diet soda, but I do drink coffee. I have not noticed any difference in my depression, with or without coffee.
There are so many details to consider with this study. Interesting
I don't drink diet soda; aspartame gives me migraines.
