Nowadays, infants and children are growing up
in a much sweeter world, with dramatic increases in the added sugar intakes.
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are the major liquid source of added sugars in youths’ diet
in North America,
which comprise regular soft drinks, fruit drinks, coffee/tea, energy and
vitamin water drinks that have been sweetened with caloric sweeteners.
Besides, over 60% of daily added sugar intake
comes from solid food sources ranged from dairy desserts, grain-based desserts,
candies, ready-to-eat cereals, and etc.
Several review articles have summarized the
recent evidence of associations between SSB consumption and cardiovascular
disease risk factors (adiposity, elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia,
reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol and hypertriglyceridemia) among
both youth and adult population
