Drinking just one can of sugary drink a day 'raises your risk of dying from heart disease by up to 31%'

Drinking just one sugary drink a day raises your risk of dying from heart disease and even cancer, research suggests.

A Harvard study found getting through just one-to-two cans cans of soda, juice or energy drinks a day boosts the odds of dying from heart disease by 31 per cent.

And it increases the risk of premature death from any cause - including cancer - by more than a fifth.

Swapping a daily sugary soda for a diet drink lowers the risk of premature death, the scientists also found.

It's amazing how much people will pay for a flavored can of carbonated water with 10 or 12 teaspoons of sugar in it. Let's see, 3 tsp per Tbsp, 2 Tbsp per ounce. Wow.

It's better to die while you're living, than live while you're dead.

@8:45 would you mind taking a second job so you can subsidize me AND all the illegals coming into the country?? THANKS, f'ing idiot

@8:45 good luck subsidizing someone after their dead idiot. Besides the Democratic party wont leave enough funds to subsidize people that actually come from THIS country. Such a shallow mind you've been equipped with

That's right, I hardly ever drink a carbonated soda, but don't believe a word of it.

How did, in fifty years, sugar move from the tastiest confection ever to cross human lips, to poison in our bodies? As children, my generation ate pounds and pounds of the stuff. We should all be dead, if we believe all the negative hype coming out now. But we're not.....

11:00am Maybe it has to do with them using cane sugar back then.....and now everything is artificial or corn syrup.

Yeah, I don't believe it. I think it's just nonsense to justify the grants. If they said they found nothing the people funding the research have to question the point of it all.
