A new study presented by the AHA indicates that 180,000 deaths worldwide can be linked to sugary beverages, according to a report in Time Magazine. Research scientists  analyzed data from the 2010 Global Burden of Diseases Study to correlate the linkage between sugary beverages and mortality rates and the results underscore the need for healthy beverages.   Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters have always been free of sugars, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other additives, making them a smart choice for consumers.

Research has long connected sugared drinks like sodas to higher risks of heart diseases, diabetes and obesity, but this study presented at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Prevention/Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism 2013 Scientific Sessions is the first to try to quantify the worldwide health toll of sugary beverages.

Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters are made with water purified through reverse osmosis and are PG (propylene glycol) and BVO (brominated vegetable oil) free as well. Syfo Beverages will always be a healthy way to stay hydrated, cut back on sugar and enjoy delicious refreshment.

Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long considered high-fructose corn syrup and its chemically sweet cousins sucrose, maltose and dextrose as “safe” food and beverage additives, new studies have linked high-fructose corn syrup in particular to obesity and type II diabetes.

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CPSI), the prevalence of high-fructose corn syrup in many beverages sold throughout the U.S. may have reached an unsafe level, underscoring the need for consumers to choose healthy beverages.

A recent article in USA Today says that the CPSI wants the FDA to define just how much high-fructose corn syrup is safe for humans to consume as added sugar in drinks. The CPSI has petitioned FDA in a letter signed by 41 physicians and nutritional scientific experts, requesting the agency identify the safe level of added sugars to beverages. The petition is also supported by public health departments of various U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles and Seattle.

One of the differences between pure cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup is that pure cane sugar is not chemically altered during its production process.  Manufacturing high-fructose corn syrup involves microbial fermentation and liquid chromatography. Preparing pure cane sugar for commercial use is a considerably less complex process than procedures used in making high fructose corn syrup. Health risks associated with consuming large and/or frequent amounts of sugary beverages containing high fructose corn syrup include obesity, heart disease, type II diabetes, gout and tooth decay.

Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters are free of sugars, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other additives.  Syfo has three simple ingredients: purified water, PG-free natural flavoring and carbonation making SYFO a delicious, refreshing healthy beverage for everyone to enjoy!
