Straight Facts

I recently read that soft drinks, including diet drinks cause heart disease. Is this true?

This is false. A recent study published in American medical journal Circulation, about metabolic syndrome and sparkling drinks, gained much media attention in Australia. Metabolic syndrome, also known as insulin resistance, is a group of conditions that put you at risk of heart disease and diabetes. It is a complex issue that cannot be attributed to a single cause or a single food, drink or ingredient. The assertions being made could apply to any product containing kilojoules – if you over consume any food or beverage with kilojoules, there are health consequences. Neither regular or diet sparkling drinks nor any other product as unique in this equation. For more information about metabolic syndrome and this study, click here
