ISLAMABAD: Regularly quaffing sugar-sweetened, low-calorie sodas is
likely to spike risk of a stroke, but intake of caffeinated or
decaffeinated coffee seems to lower it, a study reveals.
The
study is the first to examine soda`s effect on stroke (when brain is
deprived of blood supply) risk. Previous research has linked
sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with weight gain, diabetes, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout and coronary artery disease.
"Soda
remains the largest source of added sugar in the diet," said Adam
Bernstein, study author and research director at Cleveland Clinic`s
Wellness Institute, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported.
"What we`re beginning to understand is that regular intake of
these beverages sets off a chain reaction in the body that can
potentially lead to many diseases - including stroke," added Bernstein,
according to a university statement.
The research analyzed soda
consumption among 43,371 men, who participated in the Health
Professionals Follow-Up Study between 1986 and 2008, and 84,085 women
who participated in the Nurses` Health Study between 1980 and 2008.
During that time, 2,938 strokes were documented in women while 1,416
strokes were documented in men.
In sugar-sweetened sodas, the
sugar load may lead to rapid increases in blood glucose and insulin
which, over time, may lead to glucose intolerance, insulin resistance,
and inflammation, all of which are risk factors of ischemic stroke
(blood supply to the brain is blocked). This risk for stroke appears
higher in women than in men.
Conversely, coffee contains
chlorogenic acids, lignans and magnesium, all of which act as
antioxidants and may reduce stroke risk. When compared with one serving
of sugar-sweetened soda, one serving of decaffeinated coffee was
associated with a 10 percent lower risk of stroke.
