What about all these so called ‘energy’ drinks?....Monster, Red Bull, et al?..................

Well, you are going to die from something. Might as well be something you enjoy.

[Grimmy]

If this was true then my chance of dying from a heart attack is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000% by now.

"Harvard researchers say butter, coffee, salt, dairy products, red meats, etc margarine, soda and sports drinks increase risk of dying from heart disease and breast and colon cancers"

Had a friend take a trip to the emergency room this past weekend, heart palpitations, all that. Seems the culprit was stress and 4 cups of coffee.

I think that we could all do with a bit more water and less of the exotic beverages.

[bigbob]

Just drink water. And beer. And coffee, which is basically water.

I’m pre diabetic. For people like me, sodas are nothing but poison. I made the mistake of assuming sports drinks were ok. Hey they’re “sports” drinks right? I was drinking 3 or 4 a week. My a1c shot up a full point. Sports drinks are no better than soda for people like me.

I eliminated soda and sports drinks, I’m controlling it without meds.

AOC would say, “that stuff will kill you in 12 years”.

Im so thankful my parents didnt raise me sodas and other sugary drinks ,,
but I am getting a beer-belly..

I believe our government is again, mixing up information on purpose. I have never, ever seen a direct link between sugar and heart disease. Ever.

Obesity, sure, stress, low activity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and the like. But a direct link between sugar and heart disease. Nope.

Only that in some people who consume lots of sugar get obese. Having a couple of obese people in my family, it is not sugar. It is everything. They over eat, daily, every meal, everything. Neither even drink soda and such.

On a long enough timeline everyone’s survival rate drops to zero.

[HamiltonJay]

Processed SUGAR is a TOXIN, period.

The sugar industry has known for DECADES it causes heart disease, as has the FDA, yet they kept right on blaming saturated fats.

Trans Fat is indeed horrible for your heart, which they generally replaced saturated fats with, but processed sugars and carbs are the worst thing you can do for your heart health. Let alone your overall health.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

No more excess sugar...to save lives. Abortion, euthenasia, drugs, and gay lifestyle OK though.

[Alcibiades]

Being born increases your risk of dying to 100%.

[justa-hairyape]

Wonder what the raw unadjusted data said ?

[goldstategop]

Liberals now want to ban sweeteners. Just like some on the Right want to ban burgers and pizza for SNAP recipients.

The Nazi Food Police knows no political allegiances.

[Georgia Girl 2]

We don't drink any of it. Water, tea and well wine. 😉

Added sugars should make up less than 10 percent of the total calories a person consumes per day, according to federal health guidelines. For a person consuming 2,000 calories per day, that equates to no more than 200 calories. The average can of soda contains 150 calories, or 75 percent of a person's daily allowance.

Cool, so if I take in 6,000 calories, I can have 4 Coca-Colas a day?

Guidelines are guidelines...

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Researchers found that for every additional sugary drink a person consumed, their risk of dying from heart disease increased by 10 percent.

What? Does this mean if I drink 10 sugary sodas today I’ll have a 100% risk of dying from heart disease? Man I better go see my cardiologist tomorrow morning!
