Consuming high volumes of sugar- or artificially sweetened beverages increases atrial fibrillation risk, while moderate intake of unsweetened juice could be beneficial, prompting calls for dietary caution and further research.
The study also found that drinking one liter or less per week of pure, unsweetened juice, such as orange or vegetable juice, was associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation . However, the study could not confirm whether the sweetened drinks caused AFib, yet the association remained after accounting for a person’s genetic susceptibility to the condition.
People who said they drank 1 liter or less of pure fruit juice each week had an 8% lower risk of atrial fibrillation. Smoking may have also affected risk, with smokers who drank more than two liters per week of sugar-sweetened beverages having a 31% higher risk of AFib, whereas no significant increase risk was noted for former smokers or people who never smoked.
