Expected changes in obesity after reformulation to reduce added sugars in beverages: A modeling study

PLoS Medicine Nov 08, 2018

Basto-Abreu A, et al. - In the Mexican adult population, researchers evaluated the impact of reformulating sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) to reduce added sugars and achieve an average 10% of the total energy intake (TEI) over 10 years. They collected data on baseline consumption for added sugars and SSBs, sex, age, socioeconomic status, height, and weight for Mexican adults from the 2012 Mexico National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). According to results, reformulation to reduce added sugars in SSBs could produce large decreases in sugar consumption and obesity. In addition, the impact of the intervention could differ from 0.12 kg after 6 months to 1.52 kg in the long term. Findings suggested that national regulation of sugar content may be an effective and feasible action that could be implemented to gradually adapt the population taste to lower sugar intake and encourage healthier diets.
