Some foods just pair best with an ice-cold soda (we're looking at you, pizza), but that doesn’t mean the sugar-sweetened beverage should be enjoyed regularly. The same goes for energy drinks, aguas frescas, artificial fruit drinks, and lemonade, all of which have a high sugar content that can result in serious health effects, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. And now, researchers are shedding light on the harmful—and potentially fatal—consequences or "burdens" of sugar-sweetened beverages.

A new study published in the journal Nature Medicine found that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), such as soda and lemonade, were globally responsible for 2.2 million new type 2 diabetes cases and 1.2 million new cardiovascular disease cases in 2020. Furthermore, the authors estimate that 340,000 people died in 2020 from sugary drink-related diabetes and heart disease.
"This is a public health crisis, requiring urgent action," lead author Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, cardiologist and director of Tufts University’s Food is Medicine Institute, told CNN. "It’s time to pay attention to, and take priority actions to deal with, this tragic preventable suffering."
Researchers analyzed 30 years’ worth of data from the Global Dietary Database, including 450 surveys on sugar-sweetened beverages. For their study, sugar-sweetened beverages were defined "as any beverage with added sugars and more than 50 kcal per 8-ounce serving." This included soda, energy drinks, fruit drinks, punch, lemonade, and aguas frescas; it didn’t include 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices, noncaloric artificially sweetened drinks, and sweetened milk.
Because they sought to compare health risk analysis by nation, representation was imperative to the study’s success. Nearly 3 million individuals from 118 countries were represented in those surveys. Geography aside, the authors also compared sugar-sweetened attributable health issues by age, sex, education status, and urbanicity.
So, what did they conclude? Sugary drink-related burdens (i.e., diabetes and heart disease) were higher among men than women, higher among younger versus older adults, and higher among those with higher education. By region, Latin America, the Caribbean, and sub-Saharan Africa ranked in the top three.
Heavy consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages can result in type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the study says.
"Due to their liquid form, SSBs are rapidly consumed and digested, resulting in lower satiety, higher caloric intake and weight gain. High doses of rapidly digested glucose also activate insulin and other regulatory pathways, which can result in visceral fat production, hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin resistance and weight gain," explain the authors.
Cardiovascular disease can cause heart attack, stroke, heart failure, cardiac arrest, and arrhythmias. When these health issues are ignored or exacerbated, death may occur. Similarly, type 2 diabetes can prompt other heart conditions, including heart disease.

Limiting your consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. If you’re a daily soda drinker, try upping your water intake and switching to a low-calorie sweetener. However, alternative sweeteners should be used as a means to quit, not a crutch.
"Growing research shows that both natural and artificial low-calorie sweeteners are not innocuous and may cause health harms, so these should be considered a short-term, less harmful alternative, not a long-term solution," Mozaffarian told CNN.

THIS is the horrifying moment a screaming teenage girl was chased down and stabbed by a deranged stalker.
Ellis Dismore can be seen chasing the schoolgirl, who he had groomed online, as she got off a school bus on Premier Road in Middlesbrough before knifing the victim.
The 24-year-old, who was convicted of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article, left threatening and disturbing messages for her family before carrying out the horrifying attack in 2023.
He was today jailed for 43 years.
In chilling Snapchats sent by the sick thug, he is heard saying that he will “f***ing get her raped and stabbed”.
He adds: “I don’t even f***ing care as well if I get f***ing jail, yeah, ’cause I will happily, right, ruin her life. I will happily, yeah, put the knife straight in her heart and spin it around as all the blood pours out.”
Thankfully, the teen was saved by a brave motorist who interrupted the knife attack and took the girl to safety. She was left with a number of stab wounds.
The shocking footage, which has come from a dash cam and local CCTV cameras, has been released after Dismore’s sentence.
Cleveland Police said Dismore was jailed at Teesside Crown Court for attempted murder and more than 20 other offences against young girls.
Dismore, from Middlesbrough, had groomed the 15-year-old online and then sent her relatives a series of chilling messages when the police were told about what was happening.
He attacked the girl after she got off a school bus and repeatedly stabbed her but stopped when a driver intervened and took the injured girl home.
In November, Dismore was convicted of a further 16 offences on girls which came to light when detectives investigated the attempted murder.
Officers said that over seven years, Dismore used fake profiles to pose as a teenager online and incited victims to send him indecent photos of themselves.
He threatened to share the pictures if they refused further demands.
Dismore tried to meet his victims in person and incited them to engage in sexual activity, police said.
Outside court, Detective Sergeant Andrew Hamilton praised the bravery of the victims for coming forward.
The officer said: “Over a period of seven years, Dismore used fake social media accounts to groom and stalk a number of young girls and enticed them into sending indecent images.
“He made vile threats towards them and sent sickening voice notes threatening to rape and stab them.
“Dismore’s offending escalated when he attacked one 15-year-old girl in the street with a knife in a terrifying assault as she went home from school, leaving her with serious injuries.
“Had she not been saved by a courageous passer-by, she could have lost her life.
“This incident led to the discovery of other girls who had been preyed on by Dismore and stalked and harassed via social media.”
Outside court, Debbie Breen, head of the Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit at CPS North East, said: “Ellis Dismore is a dangerous and violent sexual predator who manipulated his young victims into sexual activity through fear and intimidation.
“It is clear that these were not idle threats, as Dismore went on to carry out a terrifying knife attack against one of his victims.
“Despite the horrific nature of his actions toward them, the evidence provided by the brave young victims in this case has been instrumental in helping the Crown Prosecution Service to build such a robust case against Dismore.
“We sincerely hope that the part they have each played in jailing such a dangerous man will bring them some measure of comfort.”
