Put the can down
Sugary sodas linked again to increased heart troubles and risk of dying.

Would that ice cold soda be as tempting if you knew that it might shorten your life?

New research found that adults over 45 who drank an average of 24 ounces or more of sugar-sweetened beverages every day had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease over a 6-year study period than those who averaged an ounce or less of sugar-sweetened beverages daily.

The researchers also looked at the effect of sugary foods on the risk of dying, but there didn’t seem to be an impact on premature death risk.

Only 12 oz a day so I am safe.

I should be good.  I don't drink sodas.  Never have.  My parents didn't have them in the house and I never got the habit.  One of the many good things my parents did for me in the categories of health and diet.

Increased heart troubles because they put on weight? Sodas are sugar bombs alright.  Still, I'm just observing, I have a soda too fairly often but I'm trying to eliminate or cut down on them.
