Millions of Americans choose soft drinks as their beverage of choice 1. Recently, questions have been raised about the relationship between soft drinks and the development of chronic conditions (such as type b diabetes and heart disease) 1, and negative health outcomes (including obesity, weight gain and poor overall diet quality)2. Data also shows that diet soft drinks made with artificial sweeteners may not be a better alternative 1.
Soft drinks, also known as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), are beverages that usually contain water, a sweetener, and a flavoring agent (Wikipedia). The term soft drink comprises not only sodas, but also other sugar sweetened beverages, such as iced tea, lemonade and fruit drinks 3, powdered drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks 1. Sodas are sugar sweetened carbonated beverages, such as colas 3. The sweetening agent used in soft drinks can be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, or sugar substitutes. They may also have caffeine, colorings or preservatives. 4
Carbonated soft drinks comprise the leading source of added sugars in the American diet 5. According to the 2005-2008 NHANES survey, one half of the US population consumes a sugary drink every day. Consumption varies by sex, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. For instance, males consume more than females and teens/young adults drink more than other age groups. Non-Hispanic blacks consume more than Hispanics, who consume more than their non-Hispanic white counterparts. Further, higher income levels consume less sugar drinks than those of a lower income status. Outside the home, most of the sugar drinks are consumed in stores rather than restaurants or schools. 2
Research shows that soft drinks displace some vital nutrients. When individuals consume soft drinks, they tend to eliminate other important foods from their diet. 6. As a result, there is a decrease in the intake of numerous vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber 6. For example, there is decreased calcium intake, decreased intake of protein, fruit juice, fruit, and riboflavin 7. Boys who drink more soft drinks consume less milk, which may lead to a decreased intake of calcium and an increased risk of osteoporosis. 6 Additionally, the caffeine found in many soft drinks is an addictive stimulant that increases unwanted calcium excretion 6. In fact, there is 20 mg loss of calcium for every 12-ounce can of caffeinated soft drink 6. Colas also have high levels of phosphates, which can throw off the bones’ balance of calcium and phosphorus and negatively affect bone growth and development 1.
Increased weight gain is also linked to soft drink consumption 6. This is because added sugars are “empty calories” and do not contribute any nutrients required for the body. Instead, these calories are “extra” and contribute to gaining weight 8. SSBs are considered a major contributor to obesity because these drinks have low satiety value, high sugar, and incomplete total energy 3. One 12 ounce can of regular soda contains 8 teaspoons worth of sugar, which equals 130 calories and 0 nutrients 8. The AHA recommends a daily maximum sugar intake of c teaspoons of sugar equaling 100 kcal for women and 9 teaspoons equaling 150 kcal of sugar for men. 8
Further, there is a link between body size and SSB intake. Those individuals larger in size consume more soft drinks. Additionally, those who consume soft drinks tend to have increased overall calorie consumption 7.
In the US, about 129.6 million people are overweight, and 30% of those are considered obese 3. Obesity is link to many co-morbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression and certain cancers 3. Over the past b0 years, the percentage of those overweight or obese has increased along with the intake of carbohydrates, especially in the form of added sugar. 3
Research has also shown an association between soft drinks and an increased risk of diabetes 7. In fact, one Japanese study showed that the consumption of soft drinks was related to an increased risk of type b diabetes in women 9. In the Framingham Heart Study, individuals who consumed at least one soft drink per day were 25% more likely to have increased blood sugar levels and 50% more like to develop Metabolic Syndrome 1. Metabolic Syndrome is a group of conditions that increases the risk for developing diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Metabolic Syndrome is present if an individual has three or more of the following: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, large waist circumference, low HDL cholesterol, and high triglycerides 10.
Both obesity and diabetes are risk factors for developing heart disease 1. Individuals have an increased risk of heart disease with high sugar diets because the sugar causes both their triglycerides and level of insulin to rise. High triglycerides are linked to a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease 6. Additionally, a recent study found that there is an ass
