Do you know about a common habit that can lead to diabetes, heart attack and stroke?
If you like to drink sugary drinks like soda and fruit juices, this habit can lead to many life-threatening diseases.
This was revealed in a medical study conducted in the United States.
The Harvard University study found that consuming sugary drinks such as soda and fruit juices can lead to diabetes type 2, heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
The study looked at 40,000 people who did not have a history of diabetes type 2, cardiovascular disease and cancer, while also looking at the effects of sugar on their health.
Research has found that excessive consumption of sugar leads to increased body weight, especially the fat around the stomach and waist.
Due to the increase in body weight, the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes increases over time.
Consumption of sugary drinks also increases blood sugar levels, damaging blood vessels and increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study found that sugary beverages play an important role in the high consumption of sugar in the diet.
Researchers said that eating fruits is more beneficial for health than drinking fruit juice because the natural sugars present in them do not increase blood sugar levels very quickly.
Although sweetened beverages increase the risk of life-threatening diseases, scientists say that artificial sweeteners do the same.
In 2022, a study suggested that artificial sweeteners cause changes in blood sugar levels, which increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes being affected by type 2.
The results of this new study were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
