A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at Brigham Young University has shed new light on the relationship between sugar consumption and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, analyzed data from over half a million people across multiple continents and uncovered some surprising findings.

Contrary to popular belief, not all sources of sugar carry the same risk when it comes to diabetes. The researchers found that sugar consumed through beverages, such as soda and fruit juice, was consistently linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In contrast, other sources of sugar showed no such link and, in some cases, were even associated with a lower risk.

Lead author Karen Della Corte, a nutritional science professor at BYU, explained that the study was the first to establish clear dose-response relationships between different sugar sources and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The findings highlighted the fact that drinking sugar, whether in the form of soda or juice, is more detrimental to health than consuming it through food.

The study revealed that each additional 12-oz serving of sugar-sweetened beverages increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 25%. Similarly, each additional 8-oz serving of fruit juice was associated with a 5% increase in risk. On the other hand, moderate intakes of total sucrose and total sugar showed an inverse association with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a protective effect.

The researchers attributed the increased risk associated with sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice to their isolated sugar content, which can overwhelm liver metabolism and lead to insulin resistance. In contrast, sugars found in nutrient-dense foods like whole fruits, dairy products, and whole grains do not have the same metabolic impact due to the presence of fiber, fats, proteins, and other beneficial nutrients.

Fruit juice, despite containing some vitamins and nutrients, was deemed a poor substitute for whole fruits due to its high sugar content. The researchers recommended stricter guidelines for liquid sugars, emphasizing the need to differentiate between sugar sources and forms in future dietary recommendations.

Overall, the study underscores the importance of understanding the metabolic effects of different sugar sources and making informed dietary choices to promote better health. By raising awareness about the potential risks associated with certain sugar sources, researchers hope to guide individuals towards healthier eating habits and reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
