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.

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

Date:

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.
