According to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, women who drink one or more drinks a day are about 20 percent more likely to develop heart disease than women who never take such drinks. And it's not just fizzy drinks that are problematic, but also fruit drinks with high-risk added sugar.
"We anticipate that several reasons will increase the risk of heart disease," said Anerson, a senior researcher with the research team.
"Sugar increases glucose and insulin levels in the blood, which increases appetite and leads to obesity, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease," he said.
"In addition, too much blood sugar is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, insulin resistance, unhealthy cholesterol patterns and type 2 diabetes, problems that have a strong link to hardening of the arteries, gradual narrowing of blood vessels," Anderson said. »
More than 100,000 women in California participated in the study.
The researchers found that people who drank one or more sugary drinks a day were 26 percent more likely to need surgery, such as angioplasty, to reduce blood flow, and 21 percent more likely to have a stroke than women who rarely drank or did not drink such beverages at all. They were.
