Mike Rich, executive director of UK charity the Blood Pressure Association, was responding to a study from the US that suggested a link between having less sugary drinks and reducing the risk of blood pressure diseases.
He admitted that more research is required in this area and the reasons for the connection are not completely understood, yet he hinted at a theory that such products can cause salt retention, which can lead to increased problems for some people, which may include alert bracelet wearers.
Mr Rich warned that salt is just as important as sugar in terms of the effect on the body and he advised individuals to be more conscious of their consumption of these substances, as well as keeping active.
Statistics on the Blood Pressure Association's website revealed that high blood pressure is the main risk factor for strokes and can be part of the reasoning behind heart attacks, heart failure and kidney disease.
