Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages contributes to a substantial number of new type 2 diabetes cases in the USA and UK, estimated at 1.8 million and 79,000 excess events over 10 years, respectively.
On a population level, reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption could prevent approximately 1.8 million new diabetes cases in the USA and 79,000 in the UK over a decade. This highlights the importance of public health policies aimed at reducing SSB availability and consumption.
Under assumption of causality, consumption of sugar sweetened beverages over years may be related to a substantial number of cases of new onset diabetes.
Why this rating
Based on meta-analysis results applied to national survey data, assuming causality.
