Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and incident hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohorts.
Generous consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages may have a higher tendency of developing hypertension than rare- and non-consumers of these types of beverages.
This meta-analysis investigated the association between frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and the risk of developing hypertension. A team of scientists from Canada analyzed data and evidence extracted from 6 prospective cohort studies that examined more than 200,000 subjects and 79,000 cases of hypertension.
The team of investigators observed that individuals who consistently consumed more than one servings of sugary beverages per day had a 12% higher risk of suffering from hypertension than individuals with low intake of sugar-sweetened beverages or non-consumers these types of beverages. According to this study, consumption of an extra serving of sugared beverage per day was found to increase the risk of developing hypertension by 8.2%. The findings of this meta-analysis indicate that frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may increase the vulnerability of an individual to hypertension.
