Sugary drinks kill 184 thousand people a year
A new study has shown that sugary drinks kill 184 thousands of people each year. Increased mortality from diabetes, heart disease and cancer is directly connected with the use of sweetened sodas, iced teas, nectars, and energy drinks. The figures show that sugary drinks are also deadly, as the flu.
Sixty one million eight hundred twenty eight thousand four hundred sixty
Reduction or elimination of sugary drinks from the diet should be a priority on a global scale, — said a senior doctor Dariusz Mozaffarian (Dariush Mozaffarian), the author of the study and Dean of the School of dietetics and behavior name Friedman at tufts University in Massachusetts.
Mozaffarian says that it has been proved that sugary drinks contribute to obesity, which increases the likelihood of developing other diseases. Previous studies have shown that diseases caused by obesity are responsible for over 17 million deaths per year.
In the new study, the team demonstrated the contribution of sugary drinks as a cause of death from diseases associated with obesity. Scientists estimate that in the year from diabetes of the second type dies 133 thousands of people, from cardiovascular disease 45 thousand from cancer of 6.45 thousand.
Writes LiveScience, the study is based on a comprehensive statistical analysis of the dietary habits and causes of death in more than 50 countries, as well as the situation on the world sugar market. The definition of "sugary drinks" got the drinks sweetened with sugar from cane, sugar beets, and corn syrup with more fructose.
Among the 20 countries with the highest mortality from consumption of sugary drinks as a minimum eight are in Latin America and the Caribbean, say the researchers.
The researchers came to the conclusion that in Mexico, where more than 10 percent of the population has diabetes, approximately 30 percent of deaths among people under the age of 45 years is to blame sugary drinks. Mexico is ahead of all other countries on this indicator.
It is worth noting that in Japan, where it is very popular tea without sugar, on the contrary, there is an exceptionally low death rate from consumption of sugary drinks.
Manufacturers of sugary drinks reacted to the findings of scientists are very skeptical.
The study shows that the consumption of sugary beverages causes chronic diseases, — is spoken in the message of the American Association of drinks producers.
What the scientist said, "They're just hiding your head in the sand", adding that the link between sweet drinks and obesity is well known.
