In recent decades, temporal patterns in SSB intake have shown a close
parallel between the upsurge in obesity and rising levels of SSB
consumption. SSBs are beverages that contain added caloric sweeteners
such as sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup or fruit-juice concentrates,
all of which result in similar metabolic effects, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, indicated that Experimental studies have provided important insight into potential
underlying biological mechanisms. It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight
gain in part by incomplete compensation for energy at subsequent meals
following intake of liquid calories. They may also increase risk of T2DM
and CVD as a contributor to a high dietary glycemic load leading to
inflammation, insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function.
Additional metabolic effects from the fructose fraction of these
beverages may also promote accumulation of visceral adiposity, and
increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis, and hypertension due to
hyperuricemia. Consumption of SSBs should therefore be replaced by healthy alternatives such as water, to reduce risk of obesity and chronic diseases(1).
