Consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and fruit juice and incidence of type 2 diabetes: systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimation of population attributable fraction.

Regular drinking of fruit juice, sugar-sweetened, and artificial-sweetened beverages may increase type 2 diabetes development risk.

This study investigated the role regular consumption of fruit juice, sugar-sweetened, and artificial-sweetened beverages play in the development of type 2 diabetes by meta-analysis. Researchers conducted a meticulous meta-analysis on data extracted from subjects recruited from the United States and United Kingdom. They found a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes among habitual consumers of fruit juice, sugar-sweetened, and artificial-sweetened beverages, independent of body fat. The findings of this study reveal that high intake of fruit juice, sugar-sweetened, and artificial-sweetened beverages may increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the general population.
