The health hazards associated with consumption of soft drinks.
The health hazards associated with consumption of soft drinks. Soft drinks, otherwise known as sugar drinks, are the beverage of choice for millions of Nigerians. Urbanization also drives demand for ready-to-drink soft drinks amongst busy, on-the-go consumers, not minding the health implication.
In an interview with most of these consumers, their reason for consuming sugary drinks varies: For Mrs. Adenike Akinlotan, she’s so addicted to sugary drinks that she has to take it on a daily basis. “I find it difficult to stop because my taste bud is used to sugary drinks, I know it’s not good for my health but I can’t stop,” she lamented. For Mr. Jude Onyenma, he is a business man who is always on the road, sugary drinks are always available for him to relieve his hunger.
However, research have also shown that people (men and women) who consume sugary drinks regularly – 1 to 2 bottles a day or more – have a 26% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart attack or even at risk of gout, (among others) than people who rarely have such drinks. more
