Short-term Sugary Beverage Consumption on Glucose Control and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metabolic Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT04118257
Lead Sponsor
Kansas State University
Brief Summary

Our goal is to determine how the addition of sugar-sweetened beverages to the diet affects glucose control, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and pulmonary function in healthy, young adults.

Detailed Description

In a 3-arm randomized controlled trial, 36 participants consumed one of three beverages for three weeks: water (W), caffeine-free soda (S), or 100% fruit juice (FJ). Participants consumed two servings/day (\~710mL) of their randomized beverage for three weeks, along with their habitual diets. At baseline and following the 3-week intervention, participants completed glucose control, cardiovascular disease risk factor, and pulmonary function assessments.
