Fizzy drinks are the latest health scare – kills 184000 every year

Fizzy drinks that include fizzy soft drinks, fruit drinks, energy drinks and sweetened iced teas possess no health benefits and have been declared as a Health Scare – these kill as many as 184,000 adults each year as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 30 June 2015.

The experts from the campaign group Action on Sugar, who have carried out the research believes that sugary drinks were involved in 133,000 diabetes deaths worldwide in one year. Another 45,000 died from cardiovascular disease and 6,450 from cancer. All three diseases have been linked to high sugar consumption and the researchers have warned that global community should make it a priority to eliminate such harmful drinks from people’s diets.
During the year under review, there were 1,316 deaths in the UK – the reason was drinking sweetened drinks. Mexico topped the list, with 30 per cent of adult deaths under 45 attributed to sugary drink consumption, and Japan at the other extreme was lowest with 1 per cent.
The study covered sodas, fruit drinks, sports or energy drinks, sweetened iced teas and homemade sugary drinks that contained at least 50 calories per 240ml.. Against this norm, a can of Coca-Cola contains 101 calories per 240ml or 139 overall.
Therefore, in your own interest, ignore those ads of screen heroes and heroines who dance to feet tapping jingles and promote all types of soft fizzy drinks. If you fall for their charms, you will have to pay the price.
