Out of the 20 most populous countries studied, Mexico's death rate from sugary drinks was the highest by a long way, with an estimated 405 deaths per million adults.
Examples of Sugary drinks are high sugar-consecrated beverage teas, sugar-consecrated Juices, Coca-Cola, Fanta, Viju-milk, Gatorade and homemade drinks, kill far more people every year globally.
A statement attributed to Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the Friedman School of
Nutrition Science and Policy and senior author of the research (study), highlighted that
"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."
