In a study that's sure to shake up the soda ban debate, Harvard researchers have linked the sugary drinks to 180,000 deaths a year worldwide, 25,000 in the United States alone.

"We know that sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to obesity, and that a large number of deaths are caused by obesity-related diseases. But until now, nobody had really put these pieces together," said Gitanjali Singh, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and lead author of the study presented today at the American Heart Association's annual meeting in New Orleans.

Singh and colleagues spent five years putting the pieces together. Using data from national health surveys around the world, the team tied sugar-sweetened beverages to 133,000 deaths from diabetes, 44,000 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 6,000 deaths from cancer in 2010.

The study adds to mounting evidence that sugar-sweetened beverages, loaded with calories that carry little nutritional value, are a public health hazard.

Studies like this are not worth the paper they are written on.

Sugary, carbonated drinks are very bad for your health.

What poppycock! Talk about manipulated statistics. This one takes the cake for paid results.

So is breathing, as technically, every breath you take is one closer to your last breath...

That being said, it is not the governments responibility to make sure I only drink X amount of Soda a day/year/week/month, whatever.

If it wants to spend $$ on propaganda to convince me to stop drinking it, fine. if it tries to social engineer me by banning it, restricting it, or making assinine laws to discourage me from drinking them, then it can go to hell.

180,000 deaths worldwide may be associated with sugary soft drinks

But if $arah's doing it, it can't be bad for you to guzzle huge amounts of sugar -

You can drink as much as you want. There is nothing wrong with getting people to think about the damage that they are doing to their bodies.

One must breathe in order to live, the same cannot be said about drinking sugary, carbonated drinks.

With ya' 100% on this....

...it's when our Liberal friends add force, coercion, banning, over-regulation....which is their wont.....

...that's when we cease to be America.

If Sarah Palin keeps drinking that stuff, she will end up looking like these two women:

Two Women Who Were “Amply Proportioned”, “Big Boned”,”Broad In The Beam”,
"Full Figured","Well Fed", and “Built For Comfort Not Speed”

It's like no one noticed that the Big Gulp Palin was holding does NOT come under a bloomieban.

Then convince them with words, not by passing stupid regulations that are NOT the responsibility of government.

Convince me, don't force me.

You can still drink as much as you want, no one is forcing you not to. With all of the problems in the world, trying to get obese children (and adults) to slow down on caloric intake should not be such an issue.

But I have to pay more (to the evvul corporations) if I want a drink bigger than 16 oz under the NY law? (that was cut down) or just walk to another store that isnt so regulated?

Its not the inconvinence, its the principle of the fact that government should not have a say in how a person lives thier life down to what they drink or how many ounces of it they drink.

Since when do people want government to do all thier thinking for them? Since when did you become a sheep?
