Shocking Number of Deaths Linked to Sugary Drinks in New Study Low- and middle-income countries are bearing the brunt of the burden Josh Scherer July 2, 2015 Alternet http://www.alternet.org/food/shocking-number-deaths-linked-sugary- drinks-new-study?akid=13274.317869.HpY3qX&rd=1&src=newsletter1038859&t=15 . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/oy33ymb . . Share a Coke with Javier. Share a Coke with Samantha. Share a Coke with a Dreamer. Share a Coke with 184,000 people around the world whose deaths are linked to sugar-sweetened beverages each year. . That last one might be too wordy to fit on a 12-ounce can, but that's the final number reached in a study released Monday in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation analyzing the link between sugary drinks and life-threatening disease. . Critics of the study point out that it was limited in its capacity to estimate the amount of sugar that would be consumed even if soda companies were to drop off the map. If someone stops drinking Coke and picks up a Twinkie, is that person any less likely to get diabetes? The American Beverage Association a trade group representing Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and many other sugary-drink makers sure doesnt think so. . "This study does not show that consuming sugar-sweetened beverages causes chronic diseases and the authors themselves acknowledge that they are at best estimating effects of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption," the ABA said in a statement released Tuesday. . Even though the ABA is heavily incentivized to make people think soda isnt one of the primary drivers of worldwide disease, it has indeed been difficult to get an accurate representation of how global health would be affected if sugar-sweetened beverage consumption dropped. . So, Why Should You Care? . Of the total 184,00 estimated deaths, the researchers attributed 133,000 to diabetes, 45,000 to cardiovascular disease, and 6,450 to cancer. Additionally, the study found that Mexico has the highest percentage of deaths by drinkable sugar 405 per million adults and that roughly one in every 100 obesity-related deaths is linked to liquid consumables. The problem is most heavily felt in developing countries, which account for about 75 percent of the total death count. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .

However, the worldwide impact of SSBs on burdens of adiposity-related cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancers, and diabetes has not been assessed by nation, age, and sex. . snip . Conclusions SSBs, are a single, modifiable component of diet, that can impact preventable death/disability in adults in high, middle, and low-income countries, indicating an urgent need for strong global prevention programs. http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/ 2015/06/25/CIRCULATIONAHA.114.010636.abstract OR http://tinyurl.com/nl2akvm . .
