Role of Dietary Fructose and Hepatic de novo Lipogenesis in Fatty Liver Disease (2016, background): “Increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is linked with development and progression of NAFLD, but also it is associated with development of obesity [15], type 2 diabetes mellitus [16, 17], dyslipidemia [18], and cardiovascular disease [19].”

Should We Tax Sugar-Sweetened Beverages? An Overview of Theory and Evidence (2019, background): “Randomized trials with children and adolescents find that substituting diet drinks for sugar-sweetened beverages for 12 to 18 months reduces weight by 2 to 4 pounds (de Ruyter et al. 2012; Ebbeling et al. 2012). In observational analysis of three adult cohort studies, Mozaffarian et al. (2011) find ”

Pro v Con Debate: Role of sugar sweetened beverages in obesity Resolved: there is sufficient scientific evidence that decreasing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption will reduce the prevalence of obesity and obesity-related diseases (2013, neutral): “(34) randomized 641 normal-weight Dutch children to receive 250 mL (8 oz) per day of a sugar-free, artificially sweetened beverage (sugar-free group) or a similar sugarcontaining beverage that provided 104 kcal per serving (sugar group).”
