US researchers used medical records on sugary drink consumption from 184 countries.
It estimated that 9.8 per cent of new type 2 diabetes cases in 2020 were due to sugary drinks, along with 3.1 per cent cases of heart disease.
The University of Washington study’s author Dr Laura Lara-Castor said the drinks are loaded with calories but not very filling, leading to over-eating.
Weight gain and chemical imbalance can then increase blood pressure and cholesterol, raising the risk of damage in the blood vessels and heart.
In the journal Nature Medicine, she writes: “Due to their liquid form, sugar-sweetened beverages are rapidly consumed and digested, resulting in lower satiety, higher caloric intake and weight gain.”
She adds: “These findings emphasise the need for targeted interventions.”
The study found British adults drink four sugary drinks per week each on average.
The Government introduced a sugar tax on them in 2018 to try to reduce the health impacts.
