A new study by Loyola (Chicago) University Hospital researchers reports that women who drink more than two cans of soda per day are at a higher risk for kidney disease.
Soda consumption, however, does not significantly raise the levels of albuminuria, a sensitive marker for early kidney damage, in men.
The study appeared in PLoSONE, a peer-reviewed journal of science and medical research published by the Public Library of Science. Researchers examined data from a representative sample of 9,358 U.S. adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The NHANES survey included urine samples and a questionnaire about dietary habits.
