Sodas & Health Risks

Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine have found out that sodas - sugar-sweetened and the diet variety - are also risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

According to the study, adults who drink one or more sodas per day have a 50% higher risk of metabolic syndrome - risk factors that include excessive fat around the waist, high blood pressure and low levels of good cholesterol. They also have a 31% higher risk of becoming obese.
