ImpactModerate impact

The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding beverage choices, suggesting a moderate impact on public perceptions about health risks associated with SSBs.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that consuming sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is linked to a higher risk of developing prediabetes and increased insulin resistance over time, whereas diet soda consumption does not show this association.
  • Participants who drank more SSBs had about a 46% increased risk of prediabetes compared to non-consumers, even after adjusting for factors like body mass index.
  • The research suggests that reducing SSB intake might help prevent insulin resistance and prediabetes, but drinking diet soda does not appear to have the same effect.
