Sugary drinks such as Coke and Pepsi kill nearly 200,000 people per year worldwide, according to a study conducted by researchers from Tufts University and published in the journal Circulation.
The numbers are based on prior studies showing that sugar consumption can lead to heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
“Many countries in the world have a significant number of deaths occurring from a single dietary factor – sugar-sweetened beverages,” senior author Dariush Mozaffarian said.
“It should be a global priority to substantially reduce or eliminate sugar-sweetened beverages from the diet,”
The study is the first to take a detailed look at the global health impact of consuming beverages sweetened with sugar. It focused exclusively on any sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, teas or homemade drinks sweetened with some form of sugar and containing at least 50 calories per 8-ounce serving. Due to its different nutrient content, 100 percent fruit juice (not artificially sweetened) was excluded from the study.
Drawing on prior studies delineating the health effects of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages, the researchers determined the effect that the sugar consumption they had calculated would have on death rates from cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. They concluded that in 2010 alone, sugar-sweetened beverages killed 6,450 people from cancer, 45,000 from cardiovascular disease and 133,000 from diabetes, for a total of nearly 185,000 deaths.
Although 76 percent of the deaths from sugar-sweetened drinks occurred in middle- and low-income countries, the United States came in second among the 20 most populous countries in terms of per-capita deaths, at 125 per million adults. It was surpassed only by Mexico, which had 405 deaths per million adults.
“This is not complicated,” Mozaffarian said. “There are no health benefits from sugar-sweetened beverages, and the potential impact of reducing consumption is saving tens of thousands of deaths each year.”

Anointed Holy Eagles, Come Forth!
August 10, 2000
Learn to be grateful in small things now and take nothing I give you for granted. Even your fruit and vegetables have not the nutrients that I created in them. The water and air has polluted them and the soil is depleted of minerals needed. You don’t even know what a fruit or vegetable should taste like anymore. It is rare if you do. As for meats, again I say you do not understand that which you have eaten the unholy vultures have poisoned in so many ways. The water you drink you don’t even know why your body doesn’t crave water the way I created it to thirst. It is because even the water is not the way I created it. That is why you must pray blessings on all you partake in MY Son YAHUSHUA’s Name. Ask ME to bless the food and beverages so it will be a blessing to your body and not a curse to it.

So cleanse your bodies MY Children just as you cleanse your spirit and your soul, prepare your bodies MY Children for there is yet a war coming untold.

“The HOLY TRINITY Needs to be Comforted Also!”
May 29, 2017
I give you a beautiful world. Now the skies are poison. The water is poison. The food is poison. You must pray over everything. Take nothing for granted. Even the very clothes you wear—you know not—chemicals have been placed there to kill you!
Now the rulers of this evil world of satan (Eph 6:12 etc)—when Adam fell this world fell into the hand of satan, and the satanic elite, the illuminati rose up and now all they say, “We must kill. There’s too great of a population.” And so they poison the skies and it’s called “chemtrails” and it’s meant so plagues will walk in.
