Sugary drinks can increase risk of diabetes.

Analysis shows link between sweetened drinks and risk of diabetesDrinking one or two sugar-sweetened beverages that increases a day diabetes risk of 26%, a study shows."In the new analysis bundled researchers the findings of 11 previously published studies, including more than 320,000 participants attempt to assess the"big picture"."Drink sugar-sweetened beverages certainly and consistently associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, is", says the researcher Vasanti Malik, ScD, postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of public health.Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions, including high blood pressure, increased fasting blood sugar levels, high triglycerides, low HDL and large waist size increases the risk of developing diabetes.The researchers took into account sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit drinks, iced tea and energy and vitamin water drinks. Drinks, 100% fruit juice without sweeteners, added were not counted as sugar-sweetened beverages in research.By integrating the results of previously published studies Malik says, the researchers hoped, an overall picture how great is the danger and how consistent evidence."We all pooled these studies and came up with a general measure of the Association" WebMD tells you.Ordinary Trinker--those one or two sugar-sweetened beverages drink daily in the average-one had increased 26% risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a 20% increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome versus those who drank the drinks a month or not at all Malik says.Eight studies considered diabetes risk and three metabolic syndrome was gefährdet.Teilnehmer in diabetes studies 310,819 with 15,043 cases of type 2 diabetes.In studies of metabolic syndrome there 19,431 participants and 5,803 cases of metabolic syndrome.Age ranged from 21 to 84 in 11 studies; the follow up period ranged from four to 20 years.Nearly 18 million people in the United States are diagnosed according to the American Diabetes Association diabetes; most have type 2 diabetes in which the body make enough of the hormone insulin or use it to not effektiv.Insulin take sugar from the blood into the cells.The risk of developing type 2 diabetes varies from person to person, depending on factors such as family history, ethnicity, weight and age.The link between sugar-sweetened beverages and diabetes and metabolic syndrome risk by the weight gain which can result from the drink sugar-sweetened beverages can be explained which in turn increases the type 2 diabetes risk, say Forscher.Die sugar-sweetened beverages may also raise blood sugar and insulin levels quickly, leading in turn to insulin resistance and and higher risk of diabetes, according to the researchers.The new analysis finds only correlations, not cause and effect between sugar-sweetened beverages and diabetes, says Maureen storey, PhD, senior Vice President for science policy for the American beverage association representing trade association, companies, non-alcoholic beverages.
