A new study -- the biggest of its kind -- is warning that America's love affair with sugary food and drink is also doubling our risk of a heart-related premature death.
While previous research has indicated that consumption of added sugars can negatively affect health, the new study -- published inJAMA Internal Medicine -- is the first nationally-representative study examining how added sugars affect rates of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Unlike the natural sugars existing in fruits and some vegetables, added sugars are introduced to foods during their processing and preparation. Sugar-sweetened beverages like soda are the leading source of added sugar consumption in the U.S., followed by grain-based desserts, like cookies and cake.

Did o'malley tout that study in his recent domino sugar appearance
Living leads to death.
Go out with a smile on your face, though!
Death by Chocolate.
is this the same bunch that claims wheat is poisonous? and salt is as bad for you as arsenic?and sitting for more than 10 minutes a day causes heart attacks? and canned food causes brain damage? and household dust causes lung cancer? and watching TV makes your bones disintegrate? and rock and roll is the devil's music? yeah, i think it is.
I could live a lot longer if I gave up cigarettes, liquor, red meat, candy and wild women but what would be the point?
Yet another BS study that lacks scientific basis
