Drinking one or
more cans of sugary soft drinks a day is linked to an increased risk of
diabetes in later life.
Study suggests a can a day raises the relative risk of Type-2 diabetes
by about a fifth, compared with one can a month or under.
The report in the journal Diabetologia mirrors previous US findings.
A diabetes charity recommends limiting sugary foods and drinks as they
are calorific and can cause weight gain.
The latest research was carried out in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Italy,
Spain, Sweden, France and the Netherlands.
Some 350,000 individuals were questioned about their diet, as part of a
large European study looking at links between diet and cancer.
