Abstract in brief

  • The review of 88 studies found that drinking soft drinks is linked to increased calorie intake and higher body weight.
  • Soft drink consumption is also associated with lower intake of important nutrients like calcium and milk, and it may increase the risk of health issues such as diabetes.
  • The strength of these findings varies depending on the study design, with larger effects seen in more rigorous studies, and industry-funded studies tend to report smaller impacts; overall, reducing soft drink intake is strongly supported by scientific evidence.]

Data here are from a meta-analysis of the association between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and obesity Looks like asymmetry (open circles) Take a guess in the poll below what type of studies the open circles are then read on to find out the answer https://t.co/iHnBaHIlIP https://t.co/Za0P9lGWar

@SallyMayweather Magnesium is needed for every cell in the body and for over 600 enzymatic reactions. Inorganic phosphate in soft drinks is effectively absorbed & can measurably elevate the serum phosphate concentration in people, preventing the function of Mg & calcium. https://t.co/VpWp2vEjsL.

@GigaBasedTrad @LibertyCappy Wrong. Soft drinks are what killed those people. Inorganic phosphate in soft drinks is effectively absorbed and can measurably elevate the serum phosphate concentration in people, preventing the function of magnesium and calcium. https://t.co/VpWp2vEjsL .

@ortamonon Smoothie gibi sıvı karışımlar tamamen aynı kalori ve makrolara sahip katı besinlere göre daha az tokluk vermektedir. Bundan dolayı mümkün mertebe katı gıdalarla beslenilmesi tavsiye edilmektedir. Kaynaklar: https://t.co/xsvDclnAbU https://t.co/Hy42b2CWAI https://t.co/BFS0d982IO
