Fructose and cardiometabolic health: What the evidence from sugar-sweetened beverages tells us. Malik VS, Hu FB. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26429086 This review provides summaries of the epidemiological and clinical trial evidence regarding sugar-sweetened beverages and the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease and discusses potential biological mechanisms. Children/Adolescents Drinking water in California child care sites before and after 2011-2012 beverage policy. Ritchie LD, Yoshida S, Sharma S, Patel A, Vitale EH, Hecht K. Prev Chronic Dis. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26043304 This study explored how drinking water was provided to children in child care and examined changes in water access after a federal and state child care beverage policy was established in 2011 and 2012 in California. Data were collected in 2008 and 2012 from two independent cross-sectional samples of child care sites. Water provision in California child care improved between samples of child care sites in 2008 and 2012. Parents' perceptions and adherence to children's diet and activity recommendations: the 2008 Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study. Briefel RR, Deming DM, Reidy KC. Prev Chronic Dis. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26402049 This descriptive study provides parents' and caregivers' perception of the healthfulness of their young child's diet (including sugar-sweetened beverages), body weight, and dietary intake among 3,273 infants and toddlers using the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study. About 56% of toddlers and 52% of preschoolers met the recommendation to limit sugar-sweetened beverage intake. Racial and ethnic disparities in dietary intake among California children. Guerrero AD, Chung PJ. J Acad Nutr Diet. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26433453 This cross-sectional study explored the racial and ethnic variances in dietary practices among 15,902 children aged 2-11 years using 2007 and 2009 California Health Interview Survey data. There were significant disparities in sugar-sweetened beverage and fruit juice intake. Replacing sugary drinks with milk is inversely associated with weight gain among young obesity-predisposed children. Zheng M, Rangan A, Allman-Farinelli M, Rohde JF, Olsen NJ, Heitmann BL. Br J Nutr. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26328600 A 1.5-year randomized controlled trial was carried out to examine the relationships of sugar-sweetened beverage intake and its substitution with alternative beverages with weight gain among 366 Danish children aged 2-6 years. This study reported that higher levels of sugar-sweetened beverage intake at baseline was related to increases in body weight and BMI z-score and substitution of sugar-sweetened beverage with milk was inversely related to changes in body weight and BMI z-score. Sugar-sweetened beverage intake is positively associated with baseline triglyceride concentrations, and changes in intake are inversely associated with changes in HDL cholesterol over 12 months in a multi-ethnic sample of children. Van Rompay MI, McKeown NM, Goodman E, Eliasziw M, Chomitz VR, Gordon CM, Economos CD, Sacheck JM. J Nutr. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26338888 This study examined longitudinal relationships between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and plasma HDL cholesterol and triglycerides over 12 months among children aged 8 to 15 years. This study found that sugar-sweetened beverage intake was positively related to triglyceride concentrations among consumers and changes in sugar-sweetened beverage intake were inversely related to HDL cholesterol concentration changes. Sugar and artificially sweetened beverage consumption and adiposity changes: National longitudinal study. Laverty AA, Magee L, Monteiro CA, Saxena S, Millett C. Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26503493 This longitudinal study of 13,170 UK children (aged 7-11 years) in the UK Millennium Cohort Study collected data in 2008 and 2012 to assess correlates of weekly sugar and artificially sweetened beverage intake. This study reported that sugar-sweetened beverage intake at age 11 years was associated with increases in BMI and percentage body fat between ages 7 and 11. Adults Beverage consumption in relation to discretionary food intake and diet quality among US adults, 2003 to 2012. An R. J Acad Nutr Diet. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26372338 This cross-sectional study explored consumption of different types of beverages (including sugar-sweetened beverages) in relation to discretionary food intake and diet quality among US adults using 2003-2012 NHANES data. Consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and fruit juice and incidence of type 2 diabetes: systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimation of population attributable fraction. Imamura F, O'Connor L, Ye Z, Mursu J, Hayashino Y, Bhupathiraju SN, Forouhi NG. BMJ. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26199070 This study explored the prospective relationships of sugar-sweetened beverage, artificially-sweetened beverage, and fruit juice intake with type 2 diabetes and estimated the population attributable fraction for type 2 diabetes from sugar-sweetened beverage intake among U.S. and U.K. adults. Greater intake of sugar-sweetened beverages at baseline was associated with increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. Support for food and beverage worksite wellness strategies and sugar-sweetened beverage intake among employed U.S. adults. Lee-Kwan SH, Pan L, Kimmons J, Foltz J, Park S. Am J Health Promot. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26559714 This cross-sectional study examined associations between workday sugar-sweetened beverage intake and employees' support for worksite wellness strategies among employed U.S. adults using a SummerStyles survey (web-based annual survey). This study reported that almost half of employed U.S. adults supported increasing healthy options within worksites, although daily workday sugar-sweetened beverage consumers were less supportive of certain strategies. The contribution of beverages to intakes of energy and MyPlate components by current, former, and never smokers in the United States. Zizza CA, Sebastian RS, Wilkinson Enns C, Isik Z, Goldman JD, Moshfegh AJ. J Acad Nutr Diet. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26362079 This cross-sectional study compared beverage intakes and contributions of calorie and MyPlate components by source (food, beverage, and combined) in diets of current, former, and never smokers among U.S. adults using 2005-2008 NHANES data. This study reported that current smokers drank significantly more total beverages, coffee, and sugar-sweetened beverages than never and former smokers. The relationship between sweetened beverage consumption and risk of heart failure in men. Rahman I, Wolk A, Larsson SC. Heart. 2015. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26526418 This population-based prospective cohort study examined associations between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and risk of heart failure among 42,400 men aged 45-79 years and followed them from 1998 through 2010. During an average follow-up time of 12 years, men who drank at least 2 servings of sugar-sweetened beverages daily had significantly higher risk of developing heart failure compared with non-consumers.
