Data from these sources do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects
Abstract The relationship between sugar consumption and various health-related sequelas is controversial .
Some investigators have argued that excessive sugar consumption is associated with increased risk of obesity , coronary heart disease , diabetes ( T2D ) , metabolic syndrome , non-alcoholic fatty liver disease , and stimulation of reward pathways in the brain potentially causing excessive caloric consumption .
These concerns have influenced organizations such as the World Health Organization , the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in Engl and not to exceed 5 % of total energy and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee 2015 to recommend upper limits of sugar consumption not to exceed 10 % of calories .
Data from many r and omized control trials ( RCTs ) do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects .
Fructose and glucose are typically consumed together in roughly equal proportions from high-fructose corn syrup ( also known as isoglucose in Europe ) or sucrose .
The purpose of this review is to present data from recent RCTs and findings from recent systematic review s and meta-analyses related to sugar consumption and its putative health effects .
This review evaluates findings from recent r and omized controlled trials , systematic review s and meta-analyses into the relationship of sugar consumption and a range of health-related issues including energy-regulating hormones , obesity , cardiovascular disease , diabetes , and accumulation of liver fat and neurologic responses .
Sweetened beverage consumption and risk of coronary heart disease in women.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have linked full-calorie sugar-sweetened beverages ( SSBs ) with greater weight gain and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes . OBJECTIVE We prospect ively examined the association between consumption of SSBs and the risk of coronary heart disease ( CHD ) in women . DESIGN Women ( n = 88,520 ) from the Nurses ' Health Study aged 34 - 59 y , without previously diagnosed coronary heart disease ( CHD ) , stroke , or diabetes in 1980 , were followed from 1980 to 2004 . Consumption of SSBs was derived from 7 repeated food-frequency question naires administered between 1980 and 2002 . Relative risks ( RRs ) for CHD were calculated by using Cox proportional hazards models and adjusted for known cardiovascular disease risk factors . RESULTS During 24 y of follow-up , we ascertained 3105 incident cases of CHD  ( nonfatal myocardial infa rct ion and fatal CHD ) . After st and ard and dietary risk factors were adjusted for , the RRs ( and 95 % CIs ) of CHD according to categories of cumulative average of SSB consumption ( < 1/mo , 1 - 4/mo , 2 - 6/wk , 1/d , and > or = 2 servings/d ) were 1.0 , 0.96 ( 0.87 , 1.06 ) , 1.04 ( 0.95 , 1.14 ) , 1.23 ( 1.06 , 1.43 ) , and 1.35 ( 1.07 , 1.69 ) ( P for trend < 0.001 ) . Additional adjustment for body mass index , energy intake , and incident diabetes attenuated the associations , but they remained significant . Artificially sweetened beverages were not associated with CHD . CONCLUSION Regular consumption of SSBs is associated with a higher  risk of CHD in women , even after other unhealthful lifestyle or dietary factors are accounted for
