Macro partitioning
High consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with increased risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
Limit sugar-sweetened beverages. Each daily serving is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. The risk is linear, meaning even moderate consumption adds up. Choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee instead.

A meta-analysis of prospective studies of SSB and hypertension, CHD, and stroke, the RR for a 1-serving increase in SSB/d was 1.17 (95 % CI 1.10, 1.24) for CHD and 1.08 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.12) for incident hypertension
Why this rating
