Double the risk of heart disease with two glasses of soda a day.

At least two cans of soda a day are twice as likely to die from heart disease as the average person, a new study warns.
However, the researchers did not find that other sugary foods were associated with the risk.
they think it's related to sugary drinks that fill the body with sugar, while in foods, fat and protein slow the release of sugar.
Dr. Jean Welsh, an assistant professor at Emory University, and his team recently studied both questions.
study, Dr. Welsh led data on 17,930 black and white adults over the age of 45, and tracked the participants' food and drink consumption for about six years based on how often they ate.
, sugary drinks include pre-sugared drinks such as sodas and juice drinks, sugary foods include desserts, sweets and sugary breakfast foods, and calorie-containing sweeteners such as sugar or syrup.
study found that those who consumed 24 ounces a day -- the equivalent of two cans of soda or more sugary drinks -- were twice as likely to die of heart disease as those who consumed less than 1 ounce.
the findings took into account a variety of social factors (such as income, race, education, smoking history, and physical activity), and the researchers also controlled risk factors for known heart disease patients, such as total calorie consumption, high blood pressure, and weight, and the results remained consistent.
they believe this is due to differences in the way sugar is metabolized in food and drink - sugary drinks do not contain any other nutrients, the body has to deal with sudden "sugar rushes" and sugar is released more slowly in food."The consumption and frequency of sugary drinks, combined with their small amounts of other nutrients, can lead to large amounts of sugar that need to be metabolized, leading to metabolic disorders and health risks," the researchers wrote
.
When people eat sugar in food, they often include other nutrients, such as fat or protein, which slows metabolism, which may explain the difference between the two," they added.research progress
a 2014 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who consume more than 25 percent of sugar a day are more than twice as likely to die of heart disease as those who eat less than 10 percent of their diets.About 180,000 people worldwide die of obesity, according to a 2013 harvard report by Harvard University,
