StudyFinds Analysis
Summary
A long-term study tracking over 25,000 young people for up to 25 years found that consuming two or more sugary beverages daily during childhood — including 100% fruit juice — is linked to a 52% higher risk of developing high blood pressure in adulthood. The research challenges the common perception that fruit juice is a healthy alternative to soda, showing both contribute to hypertension risk. Swapping sugary drinks for whole fruits was associated with lower blood pressure risk. The findings add to growing evidence that early dietary habits have lasting cardiovascular consequences.
