Description
Siyan Liu and colleagues present a 2026 systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of drinks and diabetic eye disease. They cover alcohol, wine, spirits, sugary and artificially sweetened drinks, coffee, tea, juice, and yogurt. Searches ran across four databases through February 15, 2026.
Twenty-five studies with 94,119 participants were included, most of high quality. Alcohol showed no overall link, but it pointed opposite ways by disease stage. Tea linked to lower risk, with a hazard ratio of 0.72 at 295 g per week in their modelling. Coffee helped only at very high intake. Heavy artificially sweetened drink intake raised the risk of the proliferative stage. Sugary drinks, juice, and yogurt showed no clear links.
