Preview:
In the study, people who drank a 12-ounce sugar-sweetened soda daily were 18 percent more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes over a 16-year period compared with those who did not consume soda. And people who drank two sodas daily were 18 percent more likely to have a stroke than those who drank one; those who drank three sodas daily saw the same risk increase compared with those who drank two, and so on.
My thoughts:
No surprises here. Sodas are loaded with more sugar than ever. If you are a big soda drinker, how often (and how much soda) are you drinking? Is there a healthier alternative that you can drink instead? Can you reduce the amount of soda you are drinking?
The sugar in soda is bad, but soda has many bad qualities. Try and eliminate, or at least reduce, your consumption of it whenever possible.
