Regularly consuming either sugared or artificially sweetened soft drinks increases the risk of an early death, according to a study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Participants had an average age of just over 50, and those with health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or diabetes at the outset were not included in the analysis. The study, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, looked at data from more than two million people who were followed over 15 years.
