Diet Soda Helps Prevent Kidney Stones

April 27, 2009: 03:38 AM EST
Diet soda can help prevent kidney stones, says a study from the University of California. The citrate and malate content may stop the development of calcium stones. Diet Sunkist Orange contained the greatest amount of total alkali and Diet 7-Up had the greatest amount of citrate as alkali. The researchers warn that kidney stone sufferers should not exchange water for soda, but say that moderate consumption can help.
