Prospective associations and population impact of sweet beverage intake and type 2 diabetes, and effects of substitutions with alternative beverages

O’Connor,L., Imamura,F., Lentjes,M.A., Khaw,K.T., Wareham,N.J. and Forouhi,N.G., (2015) Diabetologia 58:1474-1483 10.1007/s00125-015-3572-1

OBJECTIVE: To examine (1) the associations of different types of SSB with incident type 2 diabetes, (2) whether the contribution of sweet beverages to total energy intake (TEI) affects the risk of type 2 diabetes, and (3) the potential effects on type 2 diabetes incidence of substituting alternative beverages for SSB in order to determine appropriate replacement beverages.

Costanzo,P., Cleland,J.G., Pellicori,P., et al, (2015) Ann.Intern.Med. 162:610-618 10.7326/M14-1551

Sugar-sweetened product consumption alters glucose homeostasis compared with dairy product consumption in men and women at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Maki,K.C., Nieman,K.M., Schild,A.L., et al, (2015) J.Nutr. 145:459-466 10.3945/jn.114.204503

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the metabolic effects of substituting a dairy beverage (milk) and a dairy food (yogurt) for a sugar-sweetened beverage (soda) and a sugar-sweetened non-dairy-food (non-dairy pudding), in order to test the hypothesis that consumption of dairy products compared with sugar sweetened products (SSPs) would favourably affect insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function in habitual consumers of high-sugar beverages.

A qualitative investigation of patients’ understanding of carbohydrate in the clinical management of type 2 diabetes

Breen,C., McKenzie,K., Yoder,R., Ryan,M., Gibney,M.J. and O’Shea,D., (2015) J.Hum.Nutr.Diet. 10.1111/jhn.12292

OBJECTIVE: To explore patient’s understanding of carbohydrate and beliefs around the role of carbohydrate in the dietary management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). More “A qualitative investigation of patients’ understanding of carbohydrate in the clinical management of type 2 diabetes” >

A lower-carbohydrate, higher-fat diet reduces abdominal and intermuscular fat and increases insulin sensitivity in adults at risk of type 2 diabetes

Gower,B.A. and Goss,A.M., (2015) J.Nutr. 145:177S-83S 10.3945/jn.114.195065

OBJECTIVE: To compare carbohydrate-restricted with low-fat diets in two populations at elevated risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D): overweight/obese/prediabetic adults, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Association between sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened soft drinks and type 2 diabetes: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies

Greenwood,D.C., Threapleton,D.E., Evans,C.E., et al, Br.J.Nutr. 112:725-734 (2014) 10.1017/S0007114514001329

OBJECTIVE: To review systematically and undertake a dose-response meta-analysis of the latest evidence relating to the reported association between intake of sugar-sweetened drinks and increased risk of type-2 diabetes, and whether this is related to sugar content or related lifestyle factors, whether similar associations hold for artificially sweetened soft drinks, and how these associations are related to BMI.

Dietary sugar and body weight: have we reached a crisis in the epidemic of obesity and diabetes?: health be damned! Pour on the sugar

Bray,G.A. and Popkin,B.M., (2014) Diabetes Care 37:950-956 10.2337/dc13-2085

OBJECTIVE: A ‘point-counterpoint’ discussion regarding the ‘health hazards of sugar, HFCS and fructose’. The counterpoint is provided in a separate paper by Kahn and Sievenpiper.
