Carbonated beverages are associated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests of cardiac origin, according to results from the All-Japan Utstein Registry presented for the first time today at ESC Congress. The study in nearly 800,000 patients suggests that limiting consumption of carbonated beverages may be beneficial for health.

"Some epidemiologic studies have shown a positive correlation between the consumption of soft drinks and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke, while other reports have demonstrated that the intake of green tea and coffee reduced the risk and mortality of CVD," said principal investigator Professor Keijiro Saku, Dean and professor of cardiology at Fukuoka University in Japan. "Carbonated beverages, or sodas, have frequently been demonstrated to increase the risk of metabolic syndrome and CVD, such as subclinical cardiac remodeling and stroke. However, until now the association between drinking large amounts of carbonated beverages and fatal CVD, or out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) of cardiac origin, was unclear."

In other words, put the soda down and back away slowly... Is there a safer way to make our beverages bubbly?

    I have not as yet been able to discover the reason for these properties of gravity from phenomena, and I do not feign hypotheses. For whatever is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy. In this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the phenomena, and afterwards rendered general by induction.

    As to the scientific method, we saw in our first chapter that it consists in the careful and often laborious classification l of facts, in the comparison of their relationships and sequences, and finally in the discovery by aid of the disciplined imagination of a brief statement or formula, which in a few words resumes a wide range of facts. Such a formula, we have seen, is termed a scientific law. The object served by the discovery of such laws is the economy of thought ; the suitable association of conceptions drawn from stored sense-impressions, permits the fitting exertion to follow with the minimum of thought upon the receipt of an immediate sense-impression. The knowledge of scientific law enables us to replace or supplement mechanical association, or instinct, by mental association, or thought. It is the forethought, by aid of which man in a far higher degree than other animals is able to make the fitting exertion on the receipt of a novel group of sense-impressions.
