What you drink may be as important as what you eat when it comes to heart health.
A new study finds men who drink two or more servings of sweetened beverages per day are at increased risk of heart failure. Researchers tracked the health of around 42,000 men for more than a decade. Participants were asked to fill out food frequency questionnaires that looked at their average consumption of 96 food and drink items. During the monitoring period, about 3,600 new cases of heart failure were diagnosed and another 509 people died of the condition. Men who consumed two or more daily servings of sweetened drinks had a 23 percent higher risk of developing heart failure compared to those who did not. According to the study, tens of millions of people worldwide are affected by heart failure. The authors say these findings may aid in heart failure prevention strategies, such as improving diet recommendations.
