A new study found that drinking soda leads to a greater risk for many causes of death. The study surveyed over 450,000 people in 10 European countries from 1992 to 2000.

The study found that people who drank two or more glasses of soda a day had higher chances of dying from certain diseases, and people who drank less than one glass of soda a day had less chances.

Experts said that drinking a lot of soda shows that you can have an unhealthy lifestyle. However, the study’s results were the same whether you were skinny, overweight, smoked, or did not smoke cigarettes.

Difficult words: soda (sweet drinks like coca cola, sprite, etc.), survey (ask many people the same kind of questions to get some information).
