As if women don’t have enough to worry about, a recent study suggests that women who drink two or more cans of pop every day are nearly twice as likely to show early signs of kidney disease.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES, conducted a survey of 9358 American adults who participated in the study. Participants were at least twenty years old, were given questionnaires and urine tests.
The survey found that women who drank two or more sodas in a 24 hour period were 1.86 times more likely to have albuminuria, a marker for early kidney damage. However, those who drank diet pop or men did not show the same elevated risks.
According to the report published in the October 17th edition of PLoS ONE, the researchers “hypothesized that sugary soda consumption was associated with albuminuria, a sensitive marker for kidney disease.” The researchers concluded, “The findings suggest that sugary soda consumption may be associated with kidney damage, although moderate consumption of 1 or fewer sodas does not appear to be harmful. Additional studies are needed to assess whether HFCS itself, overall excess intake of sugar, or unmeasured lifestyle and confounding factors are responsible.”
Lead researcher David Shoham, is from the Department of Preventative Medicine and Epidemiology of Loyola University Health System.
