More than half of American adults drink coffee every day. Recent scientific studies suggest moderate consumption may help reduce some disease risks. 
A new study has found that regular consumption of soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with a clear and consistently greater risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. According to HSPH researchers, the study provides empirical evidence that intake of sugary beverages should be limited to reduce risk of these conditions.
