Long-term consumption of sugary drinks not only poses a risk of obesity but can also impact kidney function. It is noted that eating too much salt is the second cause of kidney damage, with consuming too much sugar being the first. A case study of a college student who drank 4 to 5 sugary beverages per week nearly resulted in kidney failure, and research suggests that drinking sugary drinks more than 7 times a week could lead to kidney failure in 8 to 10 years. It is advised to avoid sugary drinks for kidney patients, while young individuals with healthy kidneys can opt for alternatives like low-fat milk, unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened tea, sparkling water, low-calorie energy drinks, black coffee, and unsweetened almond drinks.
