OBJECTIVE: Review addressing the variable metabolic origins of liver fat, the importance of postprandial lipid metabolism in relation to liver fat, and the effects of supra-physiological intakes of sugar compared with the established threshold for the adverse effects of sugar on cardio-metabolic risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To examine consumption of different types of beverages in relation to daily total calorie intake, calorie intake from discretionary foods, and overall diet quality among US adults.
