What if we told you that your favorite sugary drink is contributing to a worldwide health emergency? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into groundbreaking research from Tufts University that reveals the shocking link between sugar-sweetened beverages and millions of new cases of diabetes and heart disease each year.
From the streets of Mexico City to the townships of South Africa, we explore how these drinks are creating a perfect storm in developing nations, where up to half of all new diabetes cases can be traced back to sugary beverages. We'll unpack the science behind why these drinks are particularly dangerous - how they spike your blood sugar and why even exercise can't undo the damage.
Join us as we investigate this global health crisis, examining why certain populations are more vulnerable, and what solutions might help stem this rising tide of chronic disease. Whether you're a policy maker, parent, or simply someone who enjoys the occasional soda, this episode will forever change how you think about your drink choices.
Global study links millions of diabetes and heart disease cases to sugary drinks
This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
