Clipping Board » Illness Enters through Mouth ─ The information that has been made public is often just the tip of the iceberg...
(Health Medical Network, July 20, 2015 / Reported by Xu Shuoying)
Recently, media reported that a person who loved drinking fully sweetened beverages consumed 2000C.C. of hand-shaken drinks daily and collapsed at home before being hospitalized. The individual suffered from severe dehydration combined with ketoacidosis and was diagnosed with diabetes at just over 30 years old. What health risks are hidden beneath the sweetness of "sugar"?
American medical experts recently published research indicating that excessive sugar intake can be fatal. Parents should minimize sugary drinks for their children from an early age. Experts noted that sugary beverages cause approximately 184,000 adult deaths worldwide each year, including 25,000 Americans. A study by Tufts University, published in the international journal *Circulation Journal*, found that for every 100 obesity-related deaths, one is linked to sugary drink consumption. Sugary drinks contribute to 133,000 deaths from diabetes, 45,000 from cardiovascular diseases, and nearly 6,500 from cancer—all due to excessive sugar intake.
The study revealed that in developing countries, about three-quarters of deaths are caused by sugary drinks. The excessive sugar in these beverages leads to calorie overload and obesity, which are among the primary causes of chronic diseases. Mexico in Latin America has the highest mortality rate, with up to 24,000 deaths annually attributed to diseases caused by sugary drinks. The research team analyzed 2010 U.S. data on deaths and diseases, examining the dietary habits of 600,000 people and the direct health impacts of sugary drinks.
Dariush Mozaffarian, Dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University and lead author of the study, stated that after analyzing global beverage consumption, researchers concluded that sugary drinks are a major culprit behind chronic diseases and related deaths.
Many sugar industry companies claim that sugary drinks have no connection to chronic diseases or deaths, but this view is incorrect. According to the American Heart Association, the primary source of sugar in the American diet is sugary beverages. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee also recommends replacing soft drinks and other sweetened beverages with milk or pure fruit juice to avoid excessive sugar intake, which can positively impact children's development.
Dean Dariush Mozaffarian noted that in the U.S., soda sales have been declining over the past decade, a trend seen in many other countries as well. Reducing sugar and beverage intake can significantly improve health, lower obesity rates, and help prevent chronic diseases and premature death.
