Sucrose compared with artificial sweeteners: different effects on ad libitum food intake and body weight after 10 wk of supplementation in overweight subjects. (2002, result): “This is in agreement with a recent prospective study in children that reported that the intake of sugar-sweetened drinks increased the risk of becoming overweight (41).”
Sugar-sweetened beverages and risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiologic evidence (2010, background): “Associations tend to be stronger in larger studies with longer durations of follow-up, that use longer-term dietary assessment methods such as food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) rather than a single 24-hour diet recall [41,42].”
Evidence for sugar addiction: behavioral and neurochemical effects of intermittent, excessive sugar intake. (2008, background): “Several studies have correlated the rise in the incidence of obesity with an increase in sugar consumption (Bray et al., 1992; Elliott et al., 2002; Howard and Wylie-Rosett, 2002; Ludwig et al., 2001).”
Dietary fructose reduces circulating insulin and leptin, attenuates postprandial suppression of ghrelin, and increases triglycerides in women. (2004, background): “Children who consume more than 265 ml (9 oz) of soda per day have a 15% higher energy intake than those who do not regularly consume soft drinks (57), and for each sugar-sweetened beverage consumed, both body mass index and the frequency of obesity in children are increased (58).”
Sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain in children and adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2013, background): “Among studies in children, scores ranged from 4 (8) to 8 (14, 16, 21) out of a possible score of 9.”
