A study published Tuesday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found a connection between consumption of sugary soft drinks and an increased risk of early death from related diseases, reported CNN.
The study followed more than 450,000 people from 10 European countries for up to 19 years and tracked their soda intake. The research participants had no instances of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or stroke before participating in the study. The results found that those who drank two or more glasses of soda per day had a higher risk of early death than those that drank less than one glass every month. The type of soda was indifferent.
The study also looked at differences between sugar-sweetened soft drinks and diet soft drinks. People who consumed two or more glasses of the former per day were more likely to develop digestive system diseases while those who drank two or more glasses of the latter were more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases.
