Consumption of Sugary Drinks Linked to Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk, Study Finds
A recent study published in ‘Frontiers in Public Health’ reveals that the consumption of sugary beverages significantly raises the risk of severe cardiovascular disease, unlike the limited intake of sweets. Analyzing nearly 70,000 individuals in Sweden, researchers observed that sugary drinks heightened risks for ischemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The study highlights that occasional sweet consumption may correlate with better health outcomes, emphasizing the need for further research to explore the mechanisms behind varying sugar consumption effects.
