1 Metabolic and clinical aspects of sugar, fructose, soft drinks Dr. Shira Zelber-Sagi School of Public Health, Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, University of Haifa Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

2 Added sugar Sugar added to a food including: sucrose, HFCS, honey, molasses, and other syrups Representing 318 kcal of dietary intake for the average American, or 16% of all caloric intake (national survey ) Contributes 80% of the dietary fructose consumed MucciL,et al. Intern EmergMed 2011 Welsh JA, et al. Circulation 2011

3 Sugar-sweetened beverages SSBs Include the full range of soft drinks, fruit drinks, energy drinks, and vitamin water drinks Are the primary source of added sugars Fructose Added sugar SSBs MucciL, et al. Intern EmergMed 2011 Welsh JA, et al. Circulation 2011

4 Soft drinks consumption in Israel 2006 Youth in Israel Findings from the 5th International HBSC survey (Health Behaviors of School-aged Children y) % Jewish Arab n= 3,936 n= 2,437 Harel FischY, et al. HBSC survey, Bar IlanUniversity

5 Drinking soft drinks daily Israel Girls: 41% Boys: 45% Adolescents' food habits: results of the Health Behavior in School-aged Children survey US Girls: 30% Boys: 37% World average Girls: 25% Boys: 32% Harel FischY, et al. HBSC survey, Bar IlanUniversity

6 Pure, white, and deadly??? The dark side of sugar suspected many years ago -association between sugar consumption and CHD (Yudkin J. 1963) Fructose proposed as a natural substitute of sucrose for diabetic patients Metabolism not dependent on insulin Causes only a limited rise in glycemia 50% Fructose Serious adverse metabolic effects for increased dietary intake of fructose TappyL, et al. Nutrition 2010

7 Cardiovascular risk and dietary sugar/fructose intake: is the link so sweet? MucciL, et al. Intern EmergMed 2011

8 How did the fruit sugar became the bad sugar?? TappyL, et al. Nutrition 2010

9 Fructose promotes steatosis & inflammation Fructose Uric acid Insulin resistance Oxidative stress Steatohepatitis NAFLD Afzali A, et al. Hepatolog 2010 Stanhope KL, et al. J Clin Invest 2009

10 Putative mechanisms linking excess fructose consumption to the metabolic syndrome TappyL, et al. Nutrition 2010

11 Lipotoxicity The adverse effect of an excess of fatty acids on the function of non-adipocytes liver, pancreas, muscle

12 7-day fructose overconsumption causes hepatic lipid deposition in healthy men Crossover trial H-MRS Subjects with and without a family P< 0.05 history of type 2 diabetes P< d isocaloric diet or a hypercaloric highfructose diet n=8 n=16 LêKA, et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2009

13 Sucrose-sweetened beverages increase fat storage in the liver 47 overweight subjects Randomized to 4 different test drinks 1 L/d for 6 mo P = 0.01 Regular Cola Milk Carbohydrate (g/100 ml) Fat (g/100 ml) % Milk Water Energy (kj/d) Cola Diet cola Maersk M, et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2012

14 NAFLD patients consume twice the amount of soft drinks Carbohydrates from soft drinks Fructose calories from soft drinks P<0.05 P<0.05 Regardless of BMI & total calories Zelber-SagiS, et al. J of Hepatology2007 Controls matched for and BMI OuyangX, et al. J of Hepatology2008

15 Why is fructose bad for Satiety?

16 Fructose vs. glucose in Satiety Fructose Glucose No Glut-5 in pancreatic beta cells Stimulation insulin secretion Suppression of ghrelin Stimulation leptin secretion Satiety signals Fructose Melanson KJ, et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2008

17 Why sweetened beverages are the worst? 1. Large amounts of rapidly absorbed sugars 2. Sweetened liquids only modestly reduce food intake 3. Contain a lot of: Fructose HFCS Sucrose 4. Caramel coloring which is rich in AGEs Over caloric consumption Fructose produces more AGEs as compared to glucose Advanced Glycation End-Products Increase insulin resistance and inflammation White JS, et al. Am J ClinNutr2008 VlassaraH, et al. PNAS 2002

18 Sugar sweetened beverages and weight gain Clinical trials

19 Liquid versus solid carbohydrate: effects on food intake Cross-over design 7 males and 8 females Dietary carbohydrate loads of 450 kcal/d during 4 week liquid (soda) solid (jelly beans) Diet records Mean reported energy intake prior to and at the end of both intervention periods ~450 kcal DiMeglio DP, et al. International Journal of Obesity 2000

20 Effect of drinking soda sweetened with aspartame or high-fructose corn syrup on body weight Changes in body weight during 3-wk Cross-over design 30 normal-weight subjects 3-wk periods of 1,150 g/d soda sweetened: aspartame (APM) high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) TordoffMG, et al.

35 Consuming fructose-sweetened vs. glucoses sweetened beverages Glucose concentrations during an OGTT before and after 9 weeks Insulin concentrations during an OGTT before and after 9 weeks P = Hepatic fractional DNL Stanhope KL, et al. J. Clin. Invest 2009

36 Reducing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with reduced blood pressure 810 hypertensive adults 18-month behavioral intervention trial Adjusted for known risk factors for BP including changes in lifestyle and in body weight Chen L, et al. Circulation 2010

37 Suggested mechanism for the pressor effect of sugars Enhanced sympathetic nervous system activity-a short-term increase in catecholamine secretion has been shown after ingestion of sugar Reduction in sodium excretion Fructose consumption raise serum uric acid, which can decrease endothelial nitric oxide and/or activate the renin-angiotensinsystem Chen L, et al. Circulation 2010

38 Sugar-sweetened vs. diet soft drinks and serum uric acid levels Hyperuricemiais considered the precursor of gout Soft drinks contain large amounts of fructose, which is the only carbohydrate known to increase uric acid levels 14,761 adults from the Third NHANES ChoiJW, et al. Arthritis & Rheumatism 2008

39 Serum uric acid levels according to categories of sugar-sweetened vs. diet soft drink consumption Adjusted for: age, sex, smoking, body mass index, relevant medications, hypertension, alcohol, meats, seafood, dairy foods, coffee, tea, total energy ChoiJW, et al. Arthritis & Rheumatism 2008

41 Fructose/ Fat-induced NAFLD is mediated by intestinal microflora + Alterations in gut flora Increased intestinal permeability Increased translocation of bacterial endotoxin OR Steatosis Hepatic TNF VOS MB, et al. Hepatology 2009 Spruss A, et al. Hepatology 2009

42 Antibiotics protect against fructose-induced hepatic steatosis & intestinal translocation Hepatic lipid accumulation Endotoxin in portal vein Bergheim I, et al. Journal of Hepatology 2008

43 AHA recommendations for upper limit intake of added sugars 5 teaspoons/day for woman 9 teaspoons/day for man One can (330 cc) of cola or fruit juice contains 8 teaspoons of added sugar and/or fructose Johnson RK, et al. Circulation. 2009

44 Summary and conclusions There is considerable evidence that SSBs produce weight gain & metabolic alterations The deleterious health effects of SSBs seem to be independent of body of weight and lifestyle factors Fructose seem to be responsible for most of the metabolic damage caused by SSBs consumption Johnson RK, et al.
