Need another reason to put down that bottle of soda? We’ll give you two. A pair of studies published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests America’s beloved fizzy drinks could be doing a real number on women’s health.<\/p>\n
In the first study, led by Harvard School of Public Health, researchers analyzed 73,000 postmenopausal women and found that regardless of the type of soda they drank (cola, non-cola, caffeinated or caffeine free, regular or diet), a woman’s risk of hip fracture increased 14 percent for each additional soda she drank per day. <\/p>\n
Statistics pulled from that same study found that the more sodas a woman drinks per week, the more her BMI climbs. (Higher BMI levels are considered a risk factor for breast cancer, among other conditions.)<\/p>\n
While hip fractures are painful enough, researchers leading another study suggesting soda could be a pain trigger in women. Another recent soda study investigating soda’s impact on women’s health found a correlation between women consuming regular, sugary soda and the chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis. <\/p>\n
For each sugar-laden soda consumed, women experienced a 63 percent increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis compared to women who nixed soda. The analysis came from 20 years of data following nearly 200,000 women. <\/p>\n
