Each additional portion of SSB increases the probability of contracting the disease by 10%.

But that's not all, the study conducted by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health – also found that frequent consumption of sugary drinks increased the risk of cancer deaths by 18%.

"Our findings provide additional support to limit the ingestion of SSB and replace them with other beverages, preferably water, to improve overall health and longevity." Said Vasanti Malik, a scientist at Harvard TH Department of Nutrition Chan School of Public Health.

To examine the correlation between the consumption of sugary drinks and the increased risk of death, the researchers used data from 37,716 American men in the follow-up study of health professionals started in 1986.

They also examined 80,647 American women in the 1976 Nurses' Health Study. Both investigations ended in 2014.

But exchanging a can of coca for a "healthier" drink artificially sweetened is not the answer.

"These findings are consistent with known adverse effects of high sugar consumption on metabolic risk factors," said Dr. Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard.

"And the irrefutable proof that the consumption of sugary drinks increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, itself a major risk factor for premature death," he added.
