How might soft drinks lead to type 2 diabetes?
A new study suggests that regular soda consumption may contribute to type 2 diabetes by altering the gut microbiome. Researchers found that drinking sugar-sweetened beverages can increase the levels of nine specific bacterial species, which in turn produce metabolites linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic disruptions. These changes, including a reduction in beneficial short-chain fatty acid producers, may help explain how soda intake influences blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health. This study is the first to connect soda consumption, gut bacteria alterations, and diabetes risk, highlighting potential biomarkers for early diabetes detection.
Healthy Fact of the Day: 🍓 Berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, are packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. These tiny fruits are also high in fiber, which supports digestion and keeps you feeling full longer. Regular consumption of berries has been linked to improved brain function, better heart health, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases.
