Scientists strongly recommend giving up sugary drinks. They are not just dangerous – they are deadly.
As a global study conducted by researchers at Tufts University (USA) has shown, consumption of soda is directly linked to premature mortality.
The results of the scientists’ extensive work have been published in one of the scientific journals.
The study covered 184 countries around the world. A colossal amount of data was analyzed.
In particular, statistics on the consumption of sweet drinks were studied.
The results of patient observations and clinical trials were also analyzed.
Data on the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease were carefully reviewed.
Scientists have found that every year over 330,000 people die from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases caused by sugary drinks.
Most of such incidents were recorded in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
According to researchers, the sugar contained in drinks is instantly absorbed into the bloodstream - the body does not have time to repel such a blow.
The main risk group is represented by young men with higher education and living in cities.
It is this category of citizens that is most vulnerable to the problem described above.
