Sugar sweetened beverages consumption and risk of coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis of prospective studies.
Consistent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may increase likelihood of developing of coronary heart disease (CHD).
This study investigated the link between high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and the odds of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). Researchers reviewed and analyzed dietary and clinical data extracted from 4 prospective studies.
The team of investigators observed that male subjects who regularly consumed sugar-sweetened beverages demonstrated a significant elevation in coronary heart disease development risk. A 16% increase in coronary heart disease risk was found to be associated with the consumption of an extra serving of sugar-sweetened beverage per day was in this study. The results of this study support dietary recommendation that promote the reduction and total exclusion of sugar-sweetened beverages from diets.
