According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2009, daily soft drink consumers have about an 80% increased risk of developing type II diabetes. The risk is increased 40% independent of weight. 1 sugar drink a day also increases the risk of heart disease by about 23%. 2 sugar drinks a day increases your risk by 35%.
WOW!!! Keep in mind that this is talking about regular sugar sodas, not diet. It is the high levels of sugar in the drinks that increase these risks so dramatically. Just keep that in mind next time you reach for that Coke!
