JUST TWO WEEKS OF DRINKING SUGARY DRINKS BOOST RISK FACTORS FOR HEART DISEASE

Research shows that the risk of cardiovascular disease are the leading cause of death around the world increases as the amount of added sugar consumed increases.

Beverages sweetened with low, medium and high amounts of high-fructose corn syrup significantly increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease, even when consumed for just two weeks by young, healthy men and women, reports a team of researchers at the University of California.

The researchers also found that most of the increases in lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for cardiovascular disease were greater in men than in women and were independent of body weight gain.
