Frequently consuming sugary drinks is associated with a higher risk of death, according to a study published in an American Heart Association journal.
A study published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation found an association between people who consume sugary drinks and an increased risk of death.
Vasanti Malik, lead author of the study and a research scientist in the Department of Nutrition in the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in an interview with USA TODAY it's not clear what's driving the differences in overall risk of death between men and women who consume sweetened drinks.
Researchers also found substituting one sweetened beverage a day with a drink that's artificially sweetened was associated with a slightly lower risk of death.
