Sweetened soft drinks are responsible for the deaths of more than 180,000 people a year, scientists warn in a report published in the journal Circulation.
The report was prepared by scientists from Tufts University, USA and is based on a summary analysis of 62 studies conducted between 1980 and 2010 in 51 countries, which involved nearly 612,000 people.
The results of studies by American scientists are more than shocking - the use of carbonated sweetened beverages is the cause of nearly 184,000 deaths each year.
As part of the study, Americans studied cases of death and disability from diabetes, heart disease and cancer, which are directly related to the consumption of beverages with added sugar - incl. all kinds of carbonated, sports, energy, fruit juices, as well as sweetened iced teas.
The study did not include all-natural juices, which do not contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
Experts have found that the leading cause of death associated with the abuse of sugary drinks is diabetes. Diabetes has killed nearly 133,000 people.
In second place are deaths related to cardiovascular disease, which have been fatal to 45,000 patients, and in third place is cancer, which is directly responsible for the deaths of 6,450 people.
According to Dr. Dariusz Motsafaryan, who is leading the study, limiting sugary drinks or even eliminating them altogether from the diet should become a global priority.
The scientist is adamant that in many countries around the world there is a significant increase in the number of deaths directly related to a single dietary factor - the use of beverages with added sugar.
The truth is that drinks with added sugar do not bring any benefits to human health, while limiting them can save tens of thousands of lives a year.
The analysis showed that deaths related to the use of sweetened beverages are more in low- and middle-income countries, where these soft drinks are present in the menu of dozens of families.
In Mexico, for example, non-alcohol abuse accounts for nearly 30 percent of deaths in people under the age of 45. At the same time, in Japan, the mortality rate caused by the consumption of sweetened soft drinks is less than 1 percent.
