Early life sweet drink consumption is significantly linked to greater adiposity and less healthy dietary patterns in adulthood, highlighting the need for targeted dietary interventions for young children.
By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.Mar 18 2024Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In a recent article published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers assessed the relationship between sweet drink consumption in early life and adiposity in adulthood.
Considering SSBs and fruit juices separately to ascertain which are associated with adverse outcomes can improve dietary interventions to reduce adult obesity. SSB consumption may also be an indicator of a calorie-rich diet, in which case removing it from the diet would not significantly reduce energy intake.
