Follow US Immigration and US Life: A study in the United States has found that women who enjoy sugary drinks are more prone to rheumatoid arthritis.
Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the United States surveyed the diet and health of 173,000 women over two different time periods. Every four years, participants reported their intake of sugary beverages, including cola and soda. During the study period, a total of 883 women were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. However, researchers found that those who consumed more than one bottle or glass of sugary drinks per day had a significantly higher risk of developing the disease compared to those who drank them only once a month or not at all. Researchers stated that this does not necessarily mean that sugary drinks cause rheumatoid arthritis; it is possible that other unhealthy lifestyle habits of the participants triggered the disease.
