March 6/The Express -- People who have sugary drinks every day face a greater risk of diabetes and heart disease, a study has found.
Scientists estimate that the consumption of such drinks -- which contain up to 200 calories each -- contributed to 130,000 cases of diabetes and 14,000 cases of heart disease in the years between 1990 and 2000. Over the past decade, 6,000 deaths in America could be blamed on the consumption of sweet drinks, experts said.
