Latest study about the dreadful diabetes show that consuming a daily can of sweetened soda can increase the risk of pre-diabetes.

As reported by WebMD, Nicola McKeown, senior researcher/scientist from Tufts University having the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, said that "A person who drinks a daily can of sugar-sweetened beverage has a 46% increased risk of developing pre-diabetes."

The research further shows that extra sugar in a person's body leads to the cells' overexposure to insulin. Once these cells start to respond improperly, insulin resistance begins.

The beginning of insulin resistance initiates the rise of blood sugar levels in a person's body. This can damage each of the body's major organs.

It is important to note that pre-diabetes plays a major role in Type 2 diabetes. However, getting into the pre-diabetic stage does not totally mean that you are already classified as full-blown Type 2 diabetic patient.

Cutting back on sugar reverses pre-diabetes. The research also showed that including such factors as the amount of body the individual had and other sugar's dietary sources resulted to a decline in the risks of prediabetes.

According to UPI, the sugar content in these drinks is not the only factor that promotes prediabetes risk. This is stressed by the American Beverage Association.

"Credible health organizations such as the Mayo Clinic note that the risk factors for prediabetes include factors such as weight, inactivity, race and family history." the industry group said in a statement.

The study was published in the Journal of Nutrition on November 9. The conclusion implies that a daily can of sugar sweetened soda and not the diet soda highly increases prediabetes risk. In fact, it also showed that a daily can of diet soda could help wean off the sweetened beverages' negative effects. Yet, be reminded that water is still the best fluid that the body needs most.
