A new study shows that sugary drinks can lead to higher uric acid levels, which, in turn, can lead to disease. It is no surprise that soda is the number one drink Americans choose, even ahead of water, but here go some more interesting statistics. People who drink more than one soda a day have:
-
31% greater risk of becoming obese.
-
30 percent increased risk of adding belly fat.
-
25 percent higher risk of developing high blood triglycerides or high blood sugar.
-
32 percent higher risk of having low HDL (good cholesterol) levels.
