Men who drink sugar-sweetened beverages, including sodas and non-carbonated fruit drinks, may have a higher risk of heart attack, a new study shows.
Harvard researchers found that men who drank one sugar-sweetened beverage per day had a 20 percent increased risk of heart attack compared to those who eschewed the sugary drinks, according to the study published in the journal Circulation.

I'll stick with good old fashioned water and unsweetend ice tea.

Yep sugar causes inflammation - without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Check out "The Great Cholesterol Myth" by Dr. Johnny Bowden. Eye-opening content.
