Prospective association of sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened beverage intake with risk of hypertension.
Consistent consumption of sugar-sweetened and artificial-sweetened beverages may increase an individual's susceptibility to hypertension.
This study assessed the intake of sugar-sweetened and artificial-sweetened beverages in relation to hypertension risk. Researchers systematically reviewed data and evidence extracted from 6 studies that examined 246,822 subjects and 80,628 cases of hypertension.
The research team found out that regular consumers of sugar-sweetened and artificial-sweetened beverages were at increased risk of developing hypertension. The consumption of an extra serving of sugar-sweetened beverage per day was found to increase an individual's chances of suffering from hypertension by 8%. The results of this study indicate that high consumers of sugar-sweetened and artificial-sweetened beverages may be more prone to develop hypertension.
