- A study, published in Journal of the American Heart Association, said consuming 12 ounces of sugary drinks more than once a day was linked to lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and higher triglycerides in the middle-aged and older people.
- The research reinforces our understanding of potential negative impact of sugary drinks on blood cholesterol, which increases heart disease risks.
- Researchers analysed how the different drinks and their consumption correlated with changes in cholesterol and triglyceride levels over four years.
