It is not a matter of whether you are thin or obese, it is a matter of whether you drink many refreshing or other drinks with sugar.

Health experts believed that sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes were associated because sugar encourages weight gain and body fat contributes to insulin resistance, which precedes diabetes.

A new study eliminated weight as a factor, found that each daily portion of sugar sweetened drinks increases the risk of type 2 diabetes of any person by 13 percent in a period of ten years.If this is correct, sugary drinks could lead to two million type 2 diabetics in the US until 2020.

Taking fumiaki imamura, researcher at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, type 2 diabetes affects the way the body turns food sugar into fuel, and causes serious problems if not.Some 29 million Americans suffer from it, most type 2.

A 12 -ounce tail can contains 39 grams of sugar, the equivalent of 9.75 teaspoons of sugar.Taking into account that the daily dose of sugar should not go from 30 grams, that amount consumed at the same time causes a marked increase in blood sugar, which over time can create insulin resistance even in people who have a weightnormal.

These conclusions are based on data from 17 previous observational studies, which the researchers combined to create a set of just over 38,200 people.

The American Beverage Association (American Beverage Association) triesWide variety of beverage options, a variety of packaging sizes, and clear and easy to read information to help you choose the option that is suitable for them. "

According to a new initiative called Balance Calries (something like balance calories), members of the American Beverage Association are working for a common goal to reduce calories from drinks in the US diet by 20 percent in 2025,According to the statement.

In another study, researchers found that a daily portion of a sugary drink increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 18 percent for a decade, without taking into account the weight.After taking into account the weight, the risk of type 2 diabetes associated with sugary drinks was only reduced to 13 percent.Around one in five people with type 2 diabetes have a healthy weight, and those findings could help explain the reason, in the words of the investigators: "If you can imagine an intravenous sugar solution entering their veins, what we call a'Sweet concentrated', that is what happens when it consumes something full of sugar.

Another theory states that high levels of sugar in the diet could affect the "healthy" microbial colonies of the intestines, altering digestion in some way that increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

The new study also found an association between type 2 diabetes and fruit drinks with artificial sweeteners.But associations with diet soft drinks and fruit juices seemed to be based on less solid evidence, and because of that the authors decided to avoid drawing some firm conclusion on those drinks, but the researchers said they would not recommend them as healthier options than thesugary soft drinks.

The following table showsthe calories and the amount of sugar that contain different types of drinks:

drinks: calories / grams of sugar

Water 240 ml (8 oz) 0 /0 gr
Semi -cut milk 240 ml (8oz) 100 /11 gr

Achocolate milk (8oz) 230 32 gr
We must observe in all the elaborated containers thus they are “dietary” how many calories and how much sugar do they bring so as not to pass us from the daily requirements, keep in mind that fruits also bring fructose -shaped sugar, we must not abuse in quantities or add sugar.*

milk and water for children

There is talk of the importance of children and adults ingesting healthy foods, but what about drinks?What a person drinks has an impact on the amount of calories ingested, as well as the amount of calcium containing their diet, calcium being a necessary substance to develop strong bones.

For children of all ages, water and milk are the best options, it must be used often.Water not only lacks calories, but the fact of drinking it teaches children to accept a drink barely flavor and not sugary to calm thirst.Since a glass or a cup of milk contains about 300 milligrams of calcium, milk can be a fundamental element that contributes to your child's daily calcium needs.Adults must count the calories and not go from 30 grams of sugar a day.

Here is the amount of calcium that your child needs every day:

• Children 1 to 3 years: 700 milligrams of calcium daily
• Children 4 to 8 years: 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily
• Children from 9 to 18 years: 1,300 milligrams of calcium daily

The current recommendations of daily milk intake, dairy equivalents or soybeans enriched (with calcium) are:

• Children 2 to 3 years two cups (480 milliliters or 16 oz) every day.
• Children 4 to 8 years two and a half cups (600 milliliters or 20 oz) every day.
• Children from 9 to 18 years three cups (720 milliliters or 24 oz) every day.

Choose skim or semi -claremados dairy (1%) most of the time.If your child does not like the taste of milk, try to add a touch of flavor, for example, chocolate or strawberry.That taste point can change things a lot and will not add a significant amount of sugar to the drink.

When a child drinks too much of some of the following drinks: natural juice, drinks made with fruit juice, sports drinks and soft drinks, the latter can move to all the milk it needs.In addition, sugary drinks also favor the accumulation of calories and cause overweight.
