Sugary Drinks and Rheumatoid Arthritis Linked?

04:51 by UnknownNo comments

Nov. 1, 2013 (San Diego)- Women who drink one or more sugar-sweetened sodas a day might raise their risk of getting rheumatoid arthritis, according to a new study that links RA risk to the sugary habit. The study does not prove cause and effect.

Other studies have linked sugary drinks to higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, among other health problems.

The new study is believed to be the first to look at sugary beverages and RA. It did not include diet sodas.

About 1.3 million Americans have RA, a chronic and potentially disabling disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, and limits how well they work.

''We found an association only for sugar-sweetened beverages," says Yang Hu, a researcher at Harvard School of Public Health who conducted the study. Hu presented the findings this week at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting.

The link does not mean that sodas cause RA, Hu says. He says drinking sodas could reflect other lifestyle habits known to boost RA risk, such as smoking.

The American Beverage Association, an industry group, disputes the findings.

Hu and his colleagues looked at data from two large studies of nurses, which have evaluated diets and other data for decades.

Hu looked at the diet and other health information from about 173,000 women during two different time periods. Every 4 years, the women reported how many sugary beverages they drank. This included regular colas with sugar, caffeine-free colas with sugar, and non-cola sodas. Diet soda was not included.

During the time periods studied, 883 women were diagnosed with RA. Hu found those who drank one or more sugar-sweetened beverages a day, compared to those who drank either none or less than one a month, had a higher risk of getting a form of RA known as seropositive. It is often a more severe form of the disease.

The way the study was done has limitations. People often don’t accurately remember what they ate or drank in the past.

The American Beverage Association says it needs more detail to fully evaluate the study.

“The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases notes that while the causes of rheumatoid arthritis are not known, genetic and hormonal factors are considered the most likely causes and women are more likely than men to develop this autoimmune inflammatory disease,” its statement says.

The study is interesting and the link is potentially plausible, says Eric Ruderman, MD, professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He reviewed the findings but was not involved in the study.

"We're always looking at what drives risk in RA,'' he says. The disease has both genetic and environmental components, experts know. Those factors weren't taken into account in the study. The next step, he says, is to ''drill down into the pathology and try to understand why.''

The National Institutes of Health funded the study.

These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary, as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

Gourmet Coffee Suppliers, J. Martinez, Analyze Coffee Vs. Energy Drinks

00:06 by UnknownNo comments

NORCROSS, GA, July 22, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Kona coffee dealers, J. Martinez, would like to take a moment to talk about the differences between coffee and energy drinks. The latter have become very popular in recent years. Products like Amp, Monster, Red Bull and 5 Hour Energy are all marketed with the message that the boost users get is more effective than coffee. They also emphasize the "no crash later" phrase, as this is why many people are hesitant to drink these products in the first place.

The coffee espresso experts note that a good old cup of Joe is much healthier than many energy drinks. Although it typically contains more caffeine, it lacks the excess amount of sugar that manufacturers often put in their products. There has been a lot of debate about the health effects of coffee, but the gourmet coffee specialists remind consumers that moderation is the key.

According to John Martinez, Owner of J. Martinez & Company, "Too much of anything is bad, but drinking one or two cups of gourmet coffee is much safer than consuming an energy drink, not to mention coffee tastes better and is more relaxing. Coffee tends to affect people more quickly due to the higher concentration of caffeine, but it also doesn't have 1,000 percent of vitamin B12 like some energy drinks do. This is why people often experience the jitters instead of simply being more alert when they consume these products."

The Jamaica coffee suppliers want to remind readers that some energy drinks contain upwards of 500 mg of caffeine, which is roughly 15 times that of a cup of coffee.

J. Martinez is a leading supplier of brands like Hawaii Kona coffee. To learn more about their products and services, please visit http://www.martinezfinecoffees.com.
