"We all know that consuming too many sugar-laden soft drinks can lead to health issues such as obesity and tooth decay. The mental health risks of these beverages are less well-known, despite evidence linking soft drinks to numerous psychological issues."
"A new study involving researchers from University College Cork shows a strong link between soft drinks and severe depression, which may be connected to the damaging effect these beverages have on our gut microbiome."
High intake of sugar-laden soft drinks increases risk of obesity and tooth decay. Soft drink consumption is also associated with various psychological issues. Evidence indicates a strong association between regular fizzy-drink consumption and severe depression. Damage to the gut microbiome from these beverages may provide a biological pathway linking consumption to depressive symptoms. Reducing or avoiding sugar-sweetened soft drinks can lower risks to both physical health and mental well-being.
