A
dded sugars are a very controversial and hotly debated
topic. Consumption of added sugars has been implicated
in increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases including
obesity, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD). Support for these putative associations has been
challenged, however, on a variety of fronts. The purpose of the
presentation is to summarize high impact evidence including
systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized
controlled trials (RCTs), in an attempt to provide an overview
of current evidence related to added sugars and obesity.
