Getting press everywhere today.

The study: Long-Term Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Mortality in US Adults

A BusinessInsider article citing this study and positive ones about eating fat. PURE study and others.

There's growing evidence that eating fat won't make you fat, but sugar will

Sugary drinks linked to higher risk of premature death, especially for women, study says Some articles emphasize for .. Women.

Other outlets combined this study on sugary beverages with the one last month on diet beverages.

Sugary drinks linked to risk of premature death
Frequent consumption of sugary drinks such as sodas, sports drinks and juice is linked to an increased risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and, to a lesser extent, from cancer, according to new research.

The researchers also examined the effects of artificially sweetened beverages, considered by many to be a safer alternative to sugary drinks.

Substituting one sugary beverage per day with an artificially sweetened one was found to lower the risk of premature death, but drinking four or more artificially sweetened beverages increased the risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease in women.

A similar study published last month based on the Women’s Health Initiative, a long-term national study, found an association between drinking two or more artificially sweetened beverages per day and an increase in the risk of strokes, heart attacks and premature deaths in women over 50.

Both studies indicate a link between artificially sweetened beverages and women’s risk of death, said Yasmin Mossavar-Rahmani, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, who was author of last month’s study.

Exactly what is different about women that increases the association between consuming artificially sweetened beverages and the risk of dying prematurely, requires more research, Mossavar-Rahmani said.

Because it is observational, the new study cannot establish cause and effect, Malik said.

The study just showed an association between sugary soft drink consumption and health problems. I'm sure that those who drink lots of sugar-loaded soft drinks also have a lousy diet in many other ways.
I do think that sugary soft drinks are very harmful to those that consume them.

Yeah, it's about time soft drink dangers are widely communicated. Glad they were able to unravel this complicated association.

While all of that is true, it is also true that taking sugar in liquid form gives a particularly hard hit to the body. Fruit juice is just as bad, as the body takes in, what? A dozen oranges in one of those bottles? More?
