It is better be careful of how much sugar goes into our bodies daily. One of the biggest culprits putting you at risk of developing diseases is sweetened drinks! Those frizzy companions may be tasty but they sneak into your loves and potentially affect your health. A new study has found that drinking two liters or more sweetened drinks can lead to an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, and this is not the only side effect of sweetened drinks.

Sweetened drinks are beverages that have added sugar or sweetener to make them sweet. Some of these drinks include sodas, fruit drinks, and sweetened teas. These drinks can be fizzy or still and are often enjoyed for their sweet flavour, but they may also contain added calories and contribute to health issues if consumed excessively.

When consumed in excess, sugar can be harmful to your health. The study by the American Heart Association found that drinking two liters or more per week of artificially sweetened beverages increased the risk of atrial fibrillation by 20 percent in people who did not drink any. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of heart arrhythmia, which happens when your heart beats too fast, too slow, or in an irregular way.

While drinking sweetened beverages can increase your risk of atrial fibrillation, the researchers cannot conclude that one beverage increases the risk more than the other beverage. Young females were more likely to consume more artificially sweetened beverages and young males were found to consume more sugar-sweetened beverages. People who consumed more sugar-sweetened drinks and juices were more likely to have a higher intake of total sugar than those who consumed artificially sweetened drinks, found the study.
