A member asked:
Does added sugar like in soda lead to accelerated aging?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: Sodas have high fructose corn syrup which is not a very healthy product. Processed sugars in general do not lead to accelerated aging directly but they definitely contribute to obesity and obesity can contribute to heart disease, joint disease, diabetes and other medical complications. In a healthy diet you would definitely want to minimize the use of any processed sugar.
