Consumption of soft drinks, whether they’re sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners, may raise the risk of premature death, European research suggests.

In a study that followed around 400,000 adults for more than 16 years, the risk of premature death was heightened in those who consumed two or more glasses of soft drink a day.
