Association of Sugar sweetened, Artificially Sweetened, and Unsweetened Coffee Consumption with Chronic Liver Disease and Liver Related Events: A Large Prospective Cohort Study.

J Nutr

Background: Previous observational studies haven't reached an agreement on the association between coffee consumption and risk of liver diseases. Also, none of these studies took sweetener added in coffee into consideration.

Objective: We aim to explore the associations of consumption of sweetened and unsweetened coffee with chronic liver disease (CLD) and liver-related events (LREs), and evaluate the degree to which sweetener added counteracted the effect of coffee.

Aims/hypothesis: A positive association between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and diabetes risk has been shown, with inconsistent evidence between artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and diabetes. Moreover, it is uncertain if physical activity can mitigate the negative effects of these beverages on diabetes development. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the independent and joint associations between SSB or ASB consumption and physical activity on the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Background: Although several studies linked the sugary beverages to chronic kidney disease (CKD), the role of different types of sugary beverages in the development of CKD remained inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the associations of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), artificially-sweetened beverages (ASBs), and natural juices (NJs) with CKD risk, and assess the extent to which the associations were mediated through metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods: This is a prospective analysis of 191,956 participants from the UK Biobank.

Childhood obesity, sugar, and Early Childhood Caries: the sweet trap.

Editor in chief - European Journal of Paediatric Dentistry.

Article Synopsis
  • - Sugar triggers the brain's dopamine system, leading to a preference for high-calorie foods and potentially contributing to "food addiction," which moves us away from healthier options over time.
  • - Historically advantageous for survival, our craving for calorie-dense foods has now led to rising obesity and diabetes rates, posing significant public health concerns globally.
  • - Recent studies indicate a notable increase in sugar consumption among youth, particularly through sugary drinks, correlating with a dramatic rise in obesity rates from 1990 to 2022.

Background: Diet habit is associated with mental health which has been suggested to be an independent risk factor. Nevertheless, evidence concerning the association between beverage consumption and age-specific mental health remains limited. Here we estimate the association between six types of beverages and depression and anxiety disorders.
