                    [Title] => Study: Carbonated drinks have same cell ageing effects as cigarettes
                    [Summary] => 

Most people are aware of the disturbing side effects of soft drinks. Soft drinks have both been linked to obesity, kidney damage and elevated blood pressure. Another study has made the effects of this beverage even worse.

According to the study, which was published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, the time spent sitting down is strongly related to the lengthening of 'telomeres' - caps that sit on the end of chromosomes in cells, which guard the end of chromosomes and the genetic code inside.
