Drinking too much diet soda and sweetened milk drinks, like milkshakes, increases the risk for Type 2 diabetes, while drinking sweetened tea, sweetened coffee, or fruit juice does not, according to a newly published study.
The study, published in the Diabetologia journal, surveyed more than 25,000 adults (ages 40-79) in the United Kingdom and followed their dietary habits over roughly 11 years.
Although previous studies have established a link between soft drinks and an increased risk of diabetes, the effect of other drinks was less clear.
