Men who consumed two or more servings of sweetened drinks per day had a significantly higher risk of developing heart failure than those who did not drink these beverages, in a large population-based cohort study. A cohort of 42,400 Swedish men aged between 45 and 79 were followed from 1998 through 2010. Sweetened beverage consumption was assessed by means of a food frequency questionnaire. The authors concluded that sweetened beverage consumption is associated with a higher risk of heart failure and that this could have implications for heart failure prevention strategies.
