Regular consumption of soft drinks both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened was associated with a greater risk of all causes of death, according to research published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine.
It found that consumption of two or more glasses of artificially sweetened soft drinks a day was positively associated with deaths from circulatory diseases.
For sugar-sweetened soft drinks, one or more glasses a day were associated with deaths from digestive diseases, including diseases of the liver, appendix, pancreas and intestines.
The research indicates that the association between soft drinks and mortality is not strongly influenced by smoking habits and BMI.
