“…Interestingly, children who were overweight/obese at baseline but had acceptable BMI at follow-up consumed significantly lower amounts of soft drink/cordial compared to children who were overweight/obese at follow-up, further substantiating a role for soft drinks in excess weight gain. In contrast to findings from earlier studies, 6,7 increased sweetened beverage did not displace milk consumption in the current study.…”

We studied the relation between soft drink/cordial (a sweet, flavoured, concentrated syrup that is mixed with water to taste), fruit juice/drink and milk consumption in mid-childhood, and body mass index (BMI) status in early adolescence in a contemporary Australian cohort. In 1996/7, 268 children (136 males) were recruited from western Sydney at baseline (mean7s.d.: 7.770.6 years), and at follow-up 5 years later (13.070.2 years). Height and weight were measured at both time periods and overweight and obesity defined using the International Obesity TaskForce criteria. Beverage consumption was calculated from a 3-day food record at baseline. Median carbohydrate intake from soft drink/cordial was 10 g higher (P ¼ 0.002) per day in children who were overweight/ obese at follow-up compared to those who had an acceptable BMI at both baseline and follow-up. Intakes of soft drink/cordial in mid-childhood, but not fruit juice/fruit drink and milk, were associated with excess weight gain in early adolescence.

“…This could be because soda may explain a greater proportion of variability in energy intake compared with the other snacking items in this population. These results are in line with those from several longitudinal studies conducted in children from developed countries that have demonstrated a link between soda consumption and BMI (9,(37)(38)(39)(40) . A recent randomized trial among school-age children showed that sugar-sweetened beverages caused greater gains in BMI and WC compared with unsweetened beverages (41) .…”

Objective: Snacking has been related to increased prevalence of overweight among school-age children in cross-sectional studies. It is uncertain, however, whether snacking influences the development of adiposity over time. Design: We examined whether adherence to a snacking dietary pattern was associated with greater increases in children's BMI, subscapular:triceps skinfold thickness ratio and waist circumference over a median 2?5-year follow-up. Dietary patterns were identified through principal component analysis of an FFQ administered at recruitment in 2006. Anthropometric follow-up was conducted annually. Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate rates of change in each indicator according to quartiles of adherence to the snacking pattern. We also examined change in BMI, subscapular:triceps skinfold thickness ratio and waist circumference in relation to intake of the food items in the snacking pattern. Subjects: Children (n 961) 5-12 years of age. Setting: Public schools in Bogotá, Colombia. Results: After adjustment for age, sex, total energy intake and socio-economic status, children in the highest quartile of adherence to the snacking pattern had a 0?09 kg/m 2 per year higher BMI gain than children in the lowest quartile (P trend 5 0?05). A similar association was observed for mean change in subscapular:triceps skinfold thickness ratio (highest v. lowest quartile difference 5 0?012/year; P 5 0?03). Of the food items in the snacking pattern, soda intake was positively and significantly associated with change in BMI (P trend 5 0?01) and waist circumference (P trend 5 0?04) in multivariable analysis. Conclusions: Our results indicate that snacking and soda intake are associated with development of adiposity in school-age children.

“…In the entire US population, soft drink intake has increased over the last two decades while dairy product consumption has declined. 39,[44][45][46]60,61,[64][65][66][67] However, despite such reports, no correlation was seen between decreased calcium intake and soft drink consumption in adolescent girls using data from the US CSFII (1994)(1995)(1996). 68 Reporting an observational study of 268 children born in western Sydney (the Nepean Study), Tam et al found increased sweet drink intakes did not displace milk consumption.…”

Contemporary fluid intake and dental caries in Australian children

In Australia, caries experience of 6-year-old and 12-year-old children has increased since the mid to late 1990s. Previously, caries rates had declined, attributable to community water fluoridation. The recent caries increase has been attributed speculatively to changes in fluid intake, including increased consumption of sweet drinks and bottled waters. Increasing urbanization and globalization have altered children's diets worldwide, promoting availability and access to processed foods and sweet drinks. Studies in Australia and internationally have demonstrated significant associations between sweet drink intake and caries experience. Despite widespread fluoride availability in contemporary Australian society, the relationship between sugar consumption and caries development continues and restricting sugar intake remains key to caries prevention. Caries risk assessment should be included in treatment planning for all children; parents should be advised of their child's risk level and given information on oral health promotion. Readily-implemented caries risk assessment tools applicable to parents and clinicians are now available. Public health information should increase awareness that consuming sweet drinks can have deleterious effects on the dentition as well as the potential for promoting systemic disease. Restricting sales of sweet drinks and sweet foods and providing healthy food and drinks for purchase in schools is paramount.
