A worrying find for lovers of fizzy and fruit juice 😳
Consuming more than one sugary drink per week could increase your risk of developing a host of serious health problems including cancer, according to researchers.
The recommendation represents around 45g of chocolate, five chocolate digestives or two 150ml glasses of fruit juice. Consuming over this amount of sugar can lead to issues from tooth decay to diabetes. Heart disease leads to heart attacks and strokes, with the consumption worryingly generating a four per cent higher risk of death.The scientists also found a harmful link between dietary sugar consumption and 18 endocrine or metabolic issues such as diabetes, gout and obesity.
Natural sugars were also found to increase health risks with fructose, found in many fruit juices, linked to a 22 per cent greater risk of pancreatic cancer for every 25g a day consumed.
