Sugary drinks such as Coke and Pepsi kill nearly 200,000 people per year worldwide, according to a study conducted by researchers from Tufts University and published in the journal Circulation.
The numbers are based on prior studies showing that sugar consumption can lead to heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
“Many countries in the world have a significant number of deaths occurring from a single dietary factor – sugar-sweetened beverages,” senior author Dariush Mozaffarian said.
“It should be a global priority to substantially reduce or eliminate sugar-sweetened beverages from the diet,”
The study’s abstract was previously presented at the American Heart Association Council on Epidemiology and Prevention in 2013.
