New Study Links Soda Consumption To Higher Risk Of Death

A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine surveyed over 450,000 people across Europe from 1992 to 2000, finding that consuming two or more glasses of soda daily increases the risk of death from various diseases. Both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened sodas are linked to health risks, with sugar-sweetened sodas associated with digestive diseases and artificially sweetened ones with circulatory diseases. Excessive soda consumption is also linked to Parkinson's disease. The study suggests that high soda intake may reflect an unhealthy lifestyle, with similar results across different body types and smoking statuses. Childhood obesity rates have tripled in the US since the 1970s, with sugar-sweetened beverages being the top source of added sugars in diets.
