該諮詢機構建議人們喝水以避免肥胖的危險。
心血管疾病、第二型的糖尿病和肥胖的問題不斷上升，心臟代謝風險國際協會(ICCR)說，糖類飲料的攝取是罪魁禍首。這個健康機構已經發表了幾份報告，聲言肥胖的增加大部分和糖類飲料攝取量的成長有關。
在1990年，我們一年喝掉39公升的糖類飲料，這個數字在2007年已經躍升到一年57到58公升。年輕人過重的比例也從60年代的3%，穩定成長到2007年的14.5%。
在宣稱糖類飲料和第二型糖尿病有關連的時候，ICCR指出一個可怕的臨床研究數字，顯示一天喝一到兩瓶糖類飲料的人，比完全不喝的人較有可能罹患糖尿病。
「糖類飲料的攝取，」ICCR解釋道：「提供了多餘的熱量，這些熱量不能補償同等高熱量固體食物的攝取。這個不完全的補償正是造成體重增加的原因。」為了避免這種熱量攝取，ICCR建議攝取水分。
(Health) Health Body Connects Sugary Drinks to Major Health Problems
The advisory body suggests that people drink water to avoid the dangers of obesity.
With the problems of cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and obesity on the rise, the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk (ICCR) is saying that the consumption of sugary drinks is largely to blame. The health body has presented several papers arguing that the rise in obesity can largely be traced to the growth in consumption of sugary drinks.
In 1990, we drank 39 liters of sugary drinks a year, a figure which jumped to 57 liters to 58 liters per year by 2007. The numbers of overweight youngsters has also risen steadily from just 3% in the 1960s to 14.5% in 2007.
In claiming that there is a link between sugary drinks and type-2 diabetes, the ICCR points to a number of damning clinical studies in which it has been shown that people who drink 1-2 sugary drinks every day are more likely to contract diabetes than those who dont have any.
The consumption of sugary drinks, explains ICCR, provides an extra load of calories, which is not compensated for in the same way as the ingestion of a high calorie solid food. This incomplete compensation is the cause of weight gain. To avoid this kind of calorie intake, the ICCR advises the consumption of water.
