Your favorite beverage may be doing serious damage to your health.

Sugar-sweetened beverages may increase your risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes, new research finds.

Sugary drinks were found to be linked to over 330,000 deaths a year.

A study published in Nature Medicine analyzed global data on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) consumed around the world from both observational and randomized studies, as well as diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevalence.

On a global level, researchers found that 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes and 1.2 million new cases of heart disease in 2020 were attributable to SSBs—representing about 1 in 10 new type 2 diabetes cases and 1 in 30 new heart disease cases.
