A new global analysis published in Nature Medicine reveals sugary drinks contribute significantly to diabetes and heart disease, particularly affecting low- and middle-income countries.
Sugary drinks were responsible for almost half (48%) of all new diabetes cases in Colombia, underscoring the alarming health impact these beverages have in vulnerable populations.
Dariush Mozaffarian noted that sugar-sweetened beverages are intensely marketed in low- and middle-income nations, where communities lack resources to manage health consequences.
With 830 million people living with diabetes globally, the rising cases in developing regions due to sugary drinks signal an urgent public health crisis.
