The team of investigators observed that male subjects who regularly consumed sugar-sweetened beverages demonstrated a significant elevation in coronary heart disease development risk. A 16% increase in coronary heart disease risk was found to be associated with the consumption of an extra serving of sugar-sweetened beverage per day was in this study. The results of this study support dietary recommendation that promote the reduction and total exclusion of sugar-sweetened beverages from diets.
