Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions such as hypertension (increased blood pressure), raised cholesterol, and increased blood sugar that increase the risk of heart diseases, diabetes (type 2), and stroke. Insulin resistance is the main cause of the metabolic syndrome. Insulin is a hormone that is responsible for the transportation of glucose into tissues from blood but when you have a sugary drink, your tissues become resistant to insulin effects resulting in pancreas producing more levels of insulin to get rid of glucose from your blood. Therefore insulin levels increased in your body. This condition is called insulin resistance. In short soft drinks may increase the risk of diseases such as heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.
