The doctors said what the risks are the soda fans

Sugary drinks increase the risk of stroke.

South African scientists have concluded that two cans of soda a week were enough to be a potential victim of heart disease or stroke. Soft drinks stuffed with sugar – this is the main health hazard associated with their use.

They performed tests that showed that after 10 weeks of regular consumption of soda in the body, perceptible negative changes were already noticeable. "Most people think that they can avoid the health risks associated with consuming soft drinks under diet, but it has been proven that these artificial sweeteners are also harmful to health," said the authors.

Experts pointed out that excess sugar in the diet has become one of the most popular phenomena in human nutrition in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of sugar-sweetened beverages are widely known, their consumption continues to steadily increase in all age groups around the world, doctors said. But this is, according to them, a major risk factor for the development of cardiometabolic diseases.

Scientists at the University of Stellenbosch have warned that two cans of soft drinks a week are enough to increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart trouble and stroke.

"That's because soft drinks filled with sugar – a can of Coca-Cola with a volume of 360 ml contains 39 grams of sugar, or 14 grams more than the ceiling rate for the person," said Researchers.
