Research Grant

Researchers: Mr Jordan Loader (Principal investigator)

Brief description Increased consumption of sugary drinks has contributed to an epidemic of obesity and diabetes and consequently cardiovascular disease. For the first time in living memory, this may well lead to declining life-expectancy. My research will examine both the short and long-term impact of sugary drinks on vital blood vessel function. In the process it will develop better methods to monitor blood vessel function and inform public health policy on sugary drinks and preventing cardiovascular disease.
