Registration Number
NCT03611972
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Davis
Brief Summary

The main objective of this pilot study is to measure changes in metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in response to sugar-sweetened beverages in African-American and non-Hispanic white women.

Detailed Description

This is a dietary intervention during which participants will consume a SSB daily, with each meal for two weeks. At the beginning and end of the two-week intervention, participants will have blood drawn under fasting and postprandial (after a meal) conditions for the measurement of lipid risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Participants will also undergo an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to assess insulin sensitivity. All sugar-sweetened beverages will be provided.
