Artificially and Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Tied to New Chronic Kidney Disease

The article from MSN discusses a study linking the consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) to an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The research, presented at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week, involved over 3,000 participants and found that those who consumed these beverages had a higher incidence of CKD compared to those who did not. Specifically, daily consumption of ASBs was associated with a 16% higher risk, while SSBs were linked to a 20% higher risk. The study suggests that these beverages might contribute to kidney damage through mechanisms like increased blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and body weight. However, the study's authors caution that while there is an association, it does not prove causation, and more research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and to confirm these findings.
