If you want to lose weight, first cut in beverages with added sugar (including glucose, sucrose, fructose or sucrose), suggests a study American. They are largely responsible for the overweight, perhaps even more than some solid foods high in calories or fat.
The study was conducted in the United States with 810 adults followed for one year and a half. According to data collected by researchers, they ingested an average of 355 calories per day from liquid, and 131 of those calories came from sugary beverages.
According to the results, the removal of a portion per day of soft drink (100 calories) resulted in a significant weight loss or 0.5 kg after 6 months and 0.65 kg in 18 months. The weight loss observed was greater for the reduction of liquid calories than it was for an equivalent reduction of solid calories, the researchers found.
And among the calorie liquids, only the reduction of consumption of sweetened beverages had a significant effect on weight loss: diet drinks (sweetened without sugar), fruit juices or pure vegetable without added sugar, milk, coffee and tea with sugar, as well as alcoholic beverages had no measurable effect on weight loss.
According to recent data, based on a survey of about 30 000 Americans adultes2, consumption of sugary drinks is growing. During the last decade, there has been, the United States, an increase of 8.6% in the number of regular consumers of such drinks.
According to a recent study, soft drinks also increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease
