Many sugar-sweetened beverages have little to no nutritional value and lots of calories, and their harmful health effects have been well-documented. Now, a study links drinking too many sugary beverages -- and even 100% natural fruit juices -- to an increased risk of early death.
Specifically, drinking an excessive amount of fruit juice led to an increased risk of premature death ranging from 9% to 42%, depending on the amount consumed and personal risk factors such as obesity, according to the study, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open.
