Habitual intake of 7 or more servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per week may fuel the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
This study investigated the sugary beverage-chronic kidney disease (CKD) connection hypothesis with the aid of a meta-analysis. Researchers reviewed dietary and health-related information from more than 45,000 persons who took part in 6 different studies.
Researchers noticed that the odds of being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease were greater among consumers of 7 or more servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per week than in non-consumers of these drinks. This meta-analysis provides strong evidence that high consumption of sugary beverages may trigger the development of chronic kidney disease.
