Sugar Intake and Myocardial Infarction

JOHN YUDKIN M.A., M.D., PH.D., CANTAB., F.R.I.C.1 and JILL MORLAND B.SC.1

1 From Department of Nutrition, Queen Elizabeth College, London, W.8

A revised questionnaire designed to avoid observer bias has been used to assess sugar intake in men who have recently had a first known myocardial infarct, and in two groups of control subjects. The results confirm the findings of Yudkin and Roddy (2) that myocandial infarction occurs in men whose habitual consumption of sugar is about twice as much as that of men with no history of infarction.

Statistical analysis shows that the association of the disease with the quantity of tea and coffee consumed is due to the sugar taken with these beverages rather than to the beverages themselves.
