Drinking two servings of carbonated soda — even the diet kind — could double the risk of diabetes, according to a Swedish study.
Research by the Karolinska Institute on 2,800 adults found that those who consumed at least two 6½ ounce servings of soft drinks daily were 2.4 times as likely to suffer from a form of type 2 diabetes.
Many sodas are sold in 12-ounce cans, meaning that one and a half cans would be enough to double the risk.
According to the study, people who drank a liter of soda saw their chances of suffering from diabetes increase tenfold.
