Wonder if sugar in coffee counts?
Sugary beverages also make it harder to control blood sugar levels.
From JAMA Network:
Question: Is the consumption of sugary beverages (ie, sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juices) associated with an increased mortality risk?
Findings: In this cohort study of 13 440 black and white adults 45 years and older observed for a mean of 6.0 years, each additional 12-oz serving/d of sugary beverages was associated with an 11% higher all-cause mortality risk, and each additional 12-oz serving/d of fruit juice was associated with a 24% higher all-cause mortality risk. Similar associations were not observed for sugary beverage consumption and coronary heart disease mortality.
Meaning: These results suggest higher consumption of sugary beverages, including fruit juice, is associated with increased mortality.

Lots of strange meaningless science going on.
Thank you sharing this useful information with us. People do consume sugary beverages in a great quantity without knowing that it is costing their lives. But after reading this blog, I think people will definitely change their eating habits.
