Just 2 cans of soda per week is too much — even if you exercise: study
NY Post
Workouts are rendered worthless by soda consumption, scientists warn.
Drinking just two 12-ounce cans of pop per week can effectively erase the heart health gains made during exercise, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Pharmacologists at the Université Laval in Quebec City analyzed health data from approximately 100,000 adults over 30 years to find that the damage done by sugar-sweetened beverages can’t be overcome with the average recommended workout quota — about 150 minutes every week, they said.
They’re urging consumers to drop cane and syrup-based sodas altogether.
“Physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with sugar-sweetened beverages by half, but it does not fully eliminate it,” Professor Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier said in a statement, per South West News Service.
The researcher added, “The marketing strategies for these drinks often show active people drinking these beverages. It suggests that sugary drink consumption has no negative effects on health if you’re physically active.”
