Abstract in brief

  • The review analyzed 47 meta-analyses involving over 22 million people to investigate the link between sugary drinks and health issues, finding that 79% of these studies showed that higher consumption is associated with increased health risks.
  • Strong evidence (Class I) linked sugary drinks to conditions like depression, heart disease, kidney stones, type 2 diabetes, and elevated uric acid levels, while somewhat less strong evidence (Class II) connected them to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and dental cavities.
  • Most of the remaining studies showed weak or inconclusive evidence, supporting the need for public health efforts to reduce sugary drink intake to improve overall health outcomes.]
