Diabetes Risk Increased by Consuming Sugary Drinks Daily
Health policy experts suggest curbing the consumption of sugared drinks through an excise tax of 1 cent per ounce of beverage, which would be expected to decrease consumption by 10 percent.
"If such a tax could curb the consumption of these drinks, the health benefits could be dramatic," said Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, senior author of the study and associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
The findings have been reported at the American Heart Association's 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention.
