Dr. Bibbins-Domingo Christian, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, United States, recently published the results of studies of the incidence of heart disease with softdrink consumption.
He said the increasing consumption of soft drinks generally contain high sugar impact on the 130,000 new cases of diabetes, 14,000 new cases of heart disease, and 50,000 patients with heart problems in the last decade.
"From this research can be concluded, all policies that could reduce softdrink consumption may have positive impacts on public health," said Dr. Bibbins-Domingo Christian.
By using computer simulation, heart disease is associated with a variety of factors, such as obesity and consumption of food containing salt. "So far we underestimates the incidence of softdrink with heart disease because it is more popular drinks on teenagers. The focus of this disease more adults aged over 35 years," said Domingo.
He added that the association between the incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is very real. Nevertheless, factors increasing obesity may also be influential.
"Various studies show the impact of the consumption of sweet drinks. For decades an increase in consumption of sweet drinks," he said.
