FitLinks: 180,000 Deaths Linked To Sugary Drinks
A recent study links 180,000 obesity-related deaths worldwide to sugary drinks, including 25,000 adult Americans. The US & Mexico, which both have a very high rate of sugared-drink consumption, are at the top of the countries with high sugar-related deaths. Diabetes caused the highest number of deaths, with cardiovascular disease and cancer coming close behind. With all the controversy over the dismissed Soda Ban, this study comes at a charged time and holds some compelling research.
Relating to nutrition, we have two articles that warn about excessive consumption of certain nutrients in food and supplement form. There are also some great bodyweight workouts for you to try and a cool article about why music is so effective in motivating you to workout.
Please Note: The articles and videos listed below are informative, popular, newsworthy, or a combination of all three. Just because we have included an article within FitLinks does not necessarily mean that BuiltLean supports, or agrees with its contents or views. If you have a question about our position on any article, please leave a comment and we will be happy to respond!
