#Sugar-sweetened beverage intake, gut #microbiota, circulating metabolites, and #diabetes risk in Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos

Highlights• Sugar-sweetened beverage intake was associated with nine gut bacteria abundances• These bacteria were correlated with aromatic and branched-chain amino acid metabolites• These bacteria were correlated with glycerophospholipids• These gut microbial metabolites were associated with diabetes risk SummaryNo population-based studies examined gut microbiota and related metabolites associated with sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake among US adults.… Continue reading #Sugar-sweetened beverage intake, gut #microbiota, circulating metabolites, and #diabetes risk in Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos

Burdens of type 2 #diabetes and #cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar-sweetened beverages in 184 countries

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an updated and comprehensive assessment of the global burden attributable to SSBs remains scarce. Here we estimated SSB-attributable T2D and CVD burdens across 184 countries in 1990 and 2020 globally, regionally and nationally, incorporating data from the… Continue reading Burdens of type 2 #diabetes and #cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar-sweetened beverages in 184 countries

The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men

We performed this study to investigate the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and male pattern hair loss (MPHL) in young men. We conducted this cross-sectional study from January to April 2022 in mainland China. Young people aged 18–45 years (n = 1951) were recruited from 31 provinces in China. We used a self-reported online survey… Continue reading The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men

Artificial sweeteners and cancer risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study

The food industry uses artificial sweeteners in a wide range of foods and beverages as alternatives to added sugars, for which deleterious effects on several chronic diseases are now well established. The safety of these food additives is debated, with conflicting findings regarding their role in the aetiology of various diseases. In particular, their carcinogenicity… Continue reading Artificial sweeteners and cancer risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study

Artificial #Sweeteners Negatively Regulate Pathogenic Characteristics of Two Model #Gut Bacteria, E. coli and E. faecalis

Artificial sweeteners (AS) are synthetic sugar substitutes that are commonly consumed in the diet. Recent studies have indicated considerable health risks which links the consumption of AS with metabolic derangements and gut microbiota perturbations. Despite these studies, there is still limited data on how AS impacts the commensal microbiota to cause pathogenicity. The present study… Continue reading Artificial #Sweeteners Negatively Regulate Pathogenic Characteristics of Two Model #Gut Bacteria, E. coli and E. faecalis

#Sugar-sweetened beverage intake in adulthood and adolescence and risk of early-onset #colorectal cancer among women

Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption had substantially increased across successive US birth cohorts until 2000, and adolescents and young adults under age 50 years have the highest consumption. However, the link between SSBs and early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) remains unexamined. Design In the Nurses’ Health Study II (1991–2015), we prospectively investigated the association of SSB intake… Continue reading #Sugar-sweetened beverage intake in adulthood and adolescence and risk of early-onset #colorectal cancer among women

Association of #sugary drink consumption with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study

Highlights•We assessed the association between sugary drinks and mortality in Japan. •Sugary drink consumption was positively associated with all-cause mortality. •Sugary drinks increased risk of death from circulatory system diseases. AbstractBackgroundFew epidemiologic studies have assessed the associations of sugary drink consumption with mortality outcomes among Asian populations. MethodsThis study included 70,486 participants in the Japan… Continue reading Association of #sugary drink consumption with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study

Short-Term Consumption of #Sucralose with, but Not without, #Carbohydrate Impairs Neural and Metabolic Sensitivity to Sugar in Humans

There is a general consensus that overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages contributes to the prevalence of obesity and related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whether a similar relationship exists for no- or low-calorie “diet” drinks is a subject of intensive debate and controversy. Here, we demonstrate that consuming seven sucralose-sweetened beverages with, but not… Continue reading Short-Term Consumption of #Sucralose with, but Not without, #Carbohydrate Impairs Neural and Metabolic Sensitivity to Sugar in Humans

#Beverage Consumption and Longitudinal Changes in Lipoprotein Concentrations and Incident #Dyslipidemia in US Adults: The Framingham Heart Study

Limited data are available on the prospective relationship between beverage consumption and plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. Two major sources of sugar in the US diet are sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs) and 100% fruit juices. Low‐calorie sweetened beverages are common replacements.. ..We found that regular (>1 serving per day) versus low (<1 serving per month) SSB… Continue reading #Beverage Consumption and Longitudinal Changes in Lipoprotein Concentrations and Incident #Dyslipidemia in US Adults: The Framingham Heart Study
