Sugary Drinks Raise Hypertension Risk...
Dear Reader,
If you're drinking sugar sweetened sodas and fruit drinks, smoothies and coffee confections, you need to know that these delicious beverages appear to be linked to a higher risk of high blood pressure in adults according to a new study. Very likely sugar soda drinkers weigh more as well.
The researchers say that both the glucose and fructose in these drinks are to blame for the association. What's more, the problem can be made worse by higher salt intake, itself a key player in high blood pressure.
What sets this study apart is that sugar sweetened drinks have, for the first time, been tied to high blood pressure, and this can bring up the risks of heart attack and stroke. More work will be needed to understand just how this works in the body.
For this study, the team examined the consumption patterns of almost 2,700 men and women, both American and British, who were between the ages of 40 and 59 years old.
Diet diaries for foods, sugars, sugar sweetened and diet beverages were kept over a four-day period for each participant.
The subjects also completed questionnaires that covered medial, social and lifestyle factors. All through the study, both urine samples and blood pressure readings were taken.
If subjects who took part in the study drank one or more sugar sweetened beverage a day, they tended to be heavier (higher BMIs), take in more calories and eat less healthy overall than those who didn't drink these types of beverages.
On average the sugar-laden drinks accounted for almost 400 added calories a day.
In terms of blood pressure, for every serving of sugared beverages the subjects drank each day, there was a bump in both the systolic and diastolic readings, even after adjustments for BMI were made. If a participant had high dietary sodium intake the association between sugar sweetened drinks and high blood pressure was even stronger.

Sugary Drinks Raise Hypertension Risk... Continued...
Choosing a diet beverage was linked to a very slight dip in blood pressure, though
the finding didn't meet the criteria for statistical significance. Also of note,
caffeine consumption appears not to have an impact on blood pressure.
A 12-ounce can of regular soda contains an astonishing 9 to 10 teaspoons of sugar.
Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages has been tied to other conditions, beyond
high blood pressure. There's obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and
heart disease risk according to study author Ian J. Brown out of the School of
Public Health at Imperial College London.
If you love these drinks, the researchers suggest that you enjoy them in moderation,
and make healthier choices like water, unsweetened teas or mixes of sparkling
water and fruit juice, more often.
And while experts (and probably your mom and your dentist) have repeatedly told
us sugar sweetened drinks are bad, it's hard to break the habit. If you decide
to make a switch to sugar free, or caffeine free, do so slowly, gradually so
that your taste buds have the chance to become adjusted to sugar free drinks.
By limiting (or eliminating) how many calories you get from sugar sweetened beverages,
you'll be doing your heart, and the rest of your body, a whole lot of good.
And your taste buds... they'll adjust. Faster than you think.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
