According to recent studies, summertime overindulgence in sugary beverages and ice cream dramatically raises the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, especially in low-income areas.
People are increasingly using sugary cold drinks and ice cream to cool down as a result of rising global temperatures brought on by climate change. Although these treatments provide short-term respite, experts caution that they may have long-term negative health effects.
American household purchase data from 2004 to 2019 was examined in the combined UK-US investigation. Researchers found that sugar intake increases by an average of 0.70 grams per person per day when outside temperatures fall between 12°C and 30°C.
