A new study says that increased consumption of sweetened beverages and smoothies or fruit flavored soft drinks, may have favored the emergence of new cases of diabetes and cardiovascular disease over the last decade.

These conclusions are based on the results of a simulation model created from large epidemiological studies conducted in the U.S..

In addition, through the model estimated that this increase has caused disease cardivasculares health spending between 300 and 550 million. And consider that may have occurred at least 6,000 deaths and 21,000 years of life lost due to the increase in asucaradas drinks.

Health policy experts suggest limiting the consumption of sweetened beverages including a tax of 1 cent per 28.3 grams of drink, since they ensure that this measure could reduce consumption by 10 percent, to prevent the situation worse in subsequent years.

The American Heart Association recommends a limit of calories from added sugar, than women should not exceed 100 calories per half-day, while for men the limit would be 150 calories a day.
