A study has suggested that drinking soft drinks, including sugar-free, increases the risk of death.

The findings, published in the journal Jama Internal Medicine, found that drinking both sugary and artificially sweetened ('diet') soft drinks was associated with a higher risk of death.
The study looked at around 452,000 people from 10 European countries including Denmark, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
The researchers looked at data from food questionnaires or interviews from 1992 to 2000. Participants were followed up an average of sixteen years later. In this time, 41,693 deaths were recorded.
The researchers found that when drinking two or more glasses of soft drinks a day, compared to drinking less than one a month, all types of soft drinks were associated with an increased risk of death from all causes. Those consuming two or more glasses were found to have an increased risk of circulatory diseases and those consuming just one glass a day had a higher risk of dying from digestive diseases.
Drinking soft drinks was not found to increase the risk of dying from cancer.
The study is the largest of its kind. The researchers say that their findings support ongoing public health initiatives to encourage healthy eating and reduce soft drink consumption. But this research only shows a correlation between soft drinks and early death. It does not prove fizzy beverages cause early death. Additionally, the findings relied on participants reporting their soft drink intake, which may not be reliable.
"Our results for sugar-sweetened soft drinks provide further support to limit consumption and to replace them with other healthier beverages, preferably water," study coauthor Neil Murphy, a scientist at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, told Reuters. "For artificially sweetened soft drinks, we now need a better understanding of the mechanisms that may underlie this association and research such as ours will hopefully stimulate these efforts."
This study was published in Jama Internal Medicine.

Concours de cuisine de Noël pour les patients
At Christmas, the food is perhaps more important than the presents. It's an indulgent time, one for turkey with all the trimmings, sprouts laced with cream and bacon, and potatoes roasted in duck fat. Here at Patient, we don't necessarily think you should feel guilty for ditching the diet at this time of year. But there are ways of cooking the Christmas lunch that can make it more nutritious. So we challenged three professional chefs from the Healthy Eating Company to cook healthy versions of roast potatoes, mince pies and stuffing, without sacrificing on taste. Nutritionist Rose Constantine Smith was on hand to help us judge the health content of the chefs' offerings.

Pourquoi tenir un journal alimentaire ?
De plus en plus de personnes prennent la plume pour consigner leurs pensées, leurs émotions et leurs comportements. Si vous êtes préoccupé par vos habitudes alimentaires ou si vous pensez qu'elles peuvent être liées à des symptômes physiques ou à des changements d'humeur, un journal alimentaire peut vous permettre de comparer ce que vous mangez à ce que vous ressentez, afin d'identifier les habitudes qui nuisent à votre santé et à votre bien-être.
