It isn’t for nothing that doctors advise you against soda pop consumption. Apparently, a new study has revealed that drinking just over one can of any type of sugary drink per day dramatically increases heart disease risk.
The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm study reports that drinking just one can of fizzy drinks per day increases risk of heart failure by 23 percent. Further analysis, which did not have people diagnosed with heart failure in the first five years, showed that the link was in fact, real.

The study has been published in the journal Heart.
