OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether sweetened beverage consumption is associated with heart failure (HF) risk in a large prospective population-based study of Swedish men.

OBJECTIVE: To test whether a higher total or added sugar intake is associated with nutrient dilution. The authors hypothesise that higher added sugar intake but not total sugar is associated with dietary nutrient dilution in Australian adolescents and children.

OBJECTIVE: To consider scientific evidence related to replacing caloric sugars with sweeteners which provide sweetness without the potential detrimental effects associated with intake of sugar, in order to reduce overweight and obesity in children.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of dietary carbohydrate composition on body composition and metabolic adaptation during and after weight loss.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the metabolic and health effects of chronic consumption of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), sucrose and honey in individuals with normal glucose tolerance (GT) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a reduction in simple sugars in healthy adults increases the perceived sweetness intensity of fixed concentrations of sugar in foods and beverages; and decreases concentrations rated as most pleasant.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a hypocaloric diet with a low glycaemic index (LGI) and low glycaemic load (GL) on metabolic and anthropometric variables, ghrelin and leptin concentrations and reproductive outcomes in overweight and obese infertile women undergoing IVF treatment.

Don’t make sugar the scapegoat
Is Nick Clegg [Comment, November 5] right to focus only on sugar in targeting obesity? The article suggests sugar consumption has increased by nearly a third but Government data shows consumption levels have been stable over the past 30 years.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether healthy humans can adequately compensate for sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) calorie intake through reductions in solid food intake, and whether fructose content affects the degree of compensation.
