Study shows soft drink increases diabetes risk
A recent study has found that drinking just one soft drink a day can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 20 percent.
The risk of developing diabetes fell to 18 percent when the investigators took into account people’s total calorie intake and body-mass index (BMI). However, the fact that diabetes risk fell only slightly when these two factors were taken into account could indicate that the effect of sugar-sweetened soft drinks on diabetes goes beyond their impact on body weight.
