“Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of severe health concerns, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A recent study revealed that in 2020, sugar-sweetened drinks were linked to 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes and 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular disease globally.”

“This risk was dose-dependent, with a 16 percent higher risk per daily beverage increase. If the women drank sugar-sweetened beverages during their teen years, their risk increased 32 percent for each serving per day increase.”

“FTA: > Summary: Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages can suppress the hormone cortisol and stress responses in the brain, but diet beverages sweetened with aspartame do not have the same effect, according to a new study.”

“Adding a sugar-sweetened beverage to a protein-rich meal decreased fat use and diet-induced thermogenesis by more than 40% in people. The study involved participants that spent 24 hours in a metabolic chamber on two separate occasions.”

“Maternal sugar consumption, particularly from sugar-sweetened beverages, was associated with poorer childhood cognition including non-verbal abilities to solve novel problems, poorer verbal memory, poorer fine motor, and poorer visual-spatial/visual-motor abilities in childhood.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are among the leading contributors to sugar intake among people living in the United States.

“In this clip from his FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Layne Norton explains why replacing sugar-sweetened soda with a non-nutritive sweetened drink can be a useful transition. In randomized weight-management trials, non-nutritive beverages supported at least as much weight loss as water, but both groups received a broader behavioral program.”

“The study was done in cells and animals, so it does not prove the same effect happens in humans. Still, it offers a biological explanation for how frequent intake of sugar-sweetened beverages could worsen colorectal cancer.”

“In a randomized crossover trial, three weeks of sugar-sweetened beverages increased fasting glucose, C-reactive protein, and atherogenic LDL features in 29 healthy young men. An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention.”

“Drinking more than 3.5 liters of sugar-sweetened beverages per week was associated with male pattern hair loss, and alcohol use related to greater hair loss and earlier greying. A marine protein supplement reduced hair shedding and promoted growth in women with temporary thinning.”
