The sun is bearing down on you so strongly on a hot summer day that you just have to quench your thirst. You’ve been running around that oval track for so long you can’t wait to reach out for something to drink.
But let that drink be filtered water, and other healthier alternatives, not soda.
Scientists presenting a research paper at the American Heart Association‘s Epidemiology and Prevention / Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions 2018, a top global exchange of the latest advances in cardiovascular science, said people over 45 who drink a lot of sugary beverages including sodas, fruit drinks and juices are more at risk of dying from heart disease, than those who shun sugary drinks.
Study participants who took at least 24 ounces of sugary drinks per day (or around two cans of soda), doubled their risk of dying from coronary heart disease compared to those who took less than an ounce of sugary beverages. Scientists also noted a higher risk of death from all causes.
Researchers based their methodology on data from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, a U.S.-based longitudinal research of 30,183 black and white adults over 45. The researchers came up with a sugary-food-and-beverage-consumption profile of 17,930 study participants using a food frequency questionnaire. Sugar-sweetened beverages included pre-sweetened ones like sodas and fruit drinks. Sugar-sweetened foods included desserts, candy, and sweetened breakfast foods plus those with calorie-containing sweeteners.
