Sugary Drinks More Closely Tied To Obesity
Dear Reader,
Bad news for sweetened drinks and the people who love them. Sugary drinks have been more closely tied to the raging obesity epidemic as the result of a huge, decades long research project that included over 33,000 Americans. The study offers the first real proof that drinking sugar sweetened beverages causes an interaction between genes that impact what you weigh. Intake of these drinks appears to amplify the risk of obesity that you carry from your genetics alone.
The research on sugared beverages and obesity was presented at obesity conference, OBESITY 2012 and also appears online in The New England Journal of Medicine.
In one study 224 overweight or obese Boston area high schoolers were randomly assigned to get shipments every two weeks of their favorite sugary drinks or sugar free alternatives, including bottled water. No efforts were made to encourage lifestyle changes like more exercise or eating healthier. After a year, the sugar free drinkers weight over 4 pounds less (on average) than those who were still drinking sugary choices.
That's a pretty impressive degree of weight change according to the study lead, Dr. David Ludwig of Boston Children's Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health.
A second experiment included 641 normal weight kids from age 4 to 12 living in the Netherlands who were regular drinkers of sugar-laden drinks. They were randomly assigned to get the sugary drink or the sugar free variety during the morning break in the school day. They didn't know which drink they got. After 18 months, the sugary drink group weighed 2 pounds more (on average) than the sugar free drinkers.
Taken together, results like these suggest that sugary beverages cause us all to gain weight, all by themselves, without accounting for the many other unhealthy habits we have - not exercising and overeating on a regular basis. These beverages are the single biggest source of calories in the modern U.S. diet.
So while all of us have some genetic risk of obesity, if you're predisposed to gaining weight, sweetened drinks are especially troublesome for you. The good news for soda lovers is that sugar free varieties didn't raise the risk of being obese and avoiding the sugared varieties can make an impact as well. It's possible that sugar free varieites can even "fool" our taste buds so that we satisfy the urge for the sweetness without getting all the calories.

Sugary Drinks More Closely Tied To Obesity Continued...
Then there's this - both obesity rates and the consumption of sugary drinks have gone up together, more than doubling since the 1970s. But this does not prove that such drinks are the cause of obesity. There are other factors that play a role, inactivity, eating fatty foods (or simply too much food) and your genetics all play their part.
Are these findings enough to convince people it's time for taxes, limits on portion sizes or other policies to keep consumers from taking in so much soda, juice and sports drinks? There are strong feelings on both sides of this issue. The American Beverage Association points out that obesity is not caused by any single food or drink and that focusing on a single culprit does nothing to help address the issue.
In the meantime, if you're concerned about your weight, you can make changes to what you drink and see if the research holds true for you. Water, tea or coffee, fresh fruit coolers, vegetable juices, low-fat milk or diet sodas are all tasty, thirst quenching choices.
To your good health,
