[h=1]Fizzy drinks and fruit squashes linked to depression[/h]

Fizzy drinks and fruit squashes are being linked to depression in a study involving more than 250,000 people.
Downing four cans of sparkling drinks a day raised the risk of mental illness by 30 per cent, while the same amount of squash increased it by 38 per cent, researchers said.
The danger was greatest for those who opted for diet products. However, people drinking four cups of coffee a day were ten per cent less likely to develop depression.
Reseacher Dr Honglei Chen said: Cutting down on diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may help lower your depression risk.


The findings come from a US study looking at 263,925 peoples consumption of soft drinks, tea and coffee between 1995 and 1996.Ten years later, 11,311 of participants aged between 50 and 71 at the start of the study were found to have been diagnosed with depression.
Emer ONeill, from the Depression Alliance, said: Were really pleased to see that research continues to be done in order to raise awareness. Diet has a huge impact on mood and fizzy drinks, alcohol, caffeine can have a negative impact on a persons health when consumed excessively.
However, the British Soft Drinks Association said the study failed to address other factors, such as family history, and more research was needed.

And cut fizzy drinks for even a few weeks and you will reduce wait easily

I did it when I was cutting on my diet to reduce weight...
it worked for me...
In fact I dont even go with packed juices , even if they mention no preservatives and no sugar... .just have fresh juice if u want to...

I am avoiding to taking these drinks excessively, since I heard this artificial sugar aspartame may kill brain cells, and leukemia is associated with diet soda intake in both men and women.
But I believe taking anything in small proportions is not bad … but overindulging in anything is not good by any means.
