Background:Regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus and other obesity-related diseases. Research evidence has been inconsistent with regard to the effects of increased SSB consumption on metabolic risk factors, potentially due to compensatory dietary-intake behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to determine whether participants compensated for the addition of two servings of SSBs per day for three weeks by altering other dietary-intake behaviors.
Methods: Secondary data from a randomized controlled trial where participants added SSBs to their typical diets for three weeks will be used to determine whether participants changed their dietary intake during the intervention. Specifically, data from the four 24-hour recalls (ASA24), completed by participants at baseline, and following weeks 1, 2, and 3, will be used to determine changes in total calories, added sugar, and macronutrient distribution.
Results: Results will include the determination of changes in consumption of total calories, percent carbohydrate, percent protein, percent fat, added sugar, fiber, and sugary beverages. Additionally, we will examine whether or not changes in dietary intake are associated with changes in metabolic risk factors (fasting glucose and insulin, insulin sensitivity, and SSB-tolerance glycemic and insulinemic responses). Results are expected to show that participants compensated by reducing overall caloric consumption and overall sugar intake when consuming SSBs for three weeks.
Conclusion:These results will contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms behind potential changes in metabolic outcomes when adding sugar-sweetened beverages to the diet in healthy college-aged adults.
