Associations of sugary beverage intake with type 2 diabetes and the role of physical activity: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Higher consumption of sugary beverages (SB) has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but whether these associations are modified by physical activity remains unclear.
