Drinking Diet Soda May Reduce Risk Of Forming Kidney Stones

For any fellow diet soda junkies out there, it’s good to know that there’s at least some potential benefit to our beverage choices.

Patients with stone disease could benefit from drinking diet soda. New research from the University of California, San Francisco suggests that the citrate and malate content in commonly consumed sodas may be sufficient to inhibit the development of calcium stones.

    I always knew Diet Dr. Pepper was good for me, after it is made by a doctor!

        About Me

        I grew up on a farm and worked my way through college slinging pizzas, walking dogs, and assisting with autopsies. I received my M.D. from the University of Chicago-Pritzker School of Medicine and completed my residency in internal medicine at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. I then took a faculty position at the newly-merged Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, but after two and a half years of commuting in Big Dig traffic with a screaming toddler in tow, I thought I'd try moving back to my home state of South Dakota. I am currently Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at the Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota.
