Editor,This study was mainly on sodas, but the sugar content in beer is relatively more and by far exceeds that of soft drinks. The difference is that our tongues can only taste the former and not the latter, which can lead to lethal misconception. My advice is to drink as much water as possible after taking beer or soda. Thank you.Sabin, Kigali,RwandaReaction to Dr Cory Couillard’s commentary, “Drinking soda increases risks of getting diabetes”, (The New Times, May 1)
