Fruit Juice Increases Risk Of Early Death

Consuming fruit juices is just as bad for your health and likely to lead to an early death as drinking cola or lemonade, research suggests. A new study found an increased risk of dying early from any cause for people who consumed a lot of sugary drinks. US researchers compared, for the first time, 100 percent fruit juices with sugar-sweetened beverages such as cola and lemonade.


They found very similar associations for both fruit juices and sugary drinks with an increased risk of dying early, though they said more research was needed.
