Sports drinks like Jupu have been found to be effective for weight loss control and lipid metabolism in college students. They help maintain high blood sugar levels during exercise and also have anti-fatigue effects.

A study found that a 6-week plant-based diet resulted in weight loss, reduced BMI, waist circumference, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol. Energy and sugar intake decreased, while fiber intake increased. Further research is needed to determine long-term adherence to this diet.

A study compared the effects of different diets on plasma lipids and lipoprotein subfractions. The results showed that a low-carb diet improved metabolic markers without adverse effects on LDL cholesterol.

Different sugar sources and doses were evaluated for their effects on rice straw silage. Both molasses and fibrolytic enzyme improved fermentation quality, but molasses had a potential dose effect in decreasing ruminal energy waste. A dose of 4% molasses is recommended for rice straw silage, as it showed intermediate fermentation quality and higher in vitro digestibility.

A study in Ecuador shows that a 20% increase in the price of sugary drinks would reduce consumption by 27%. Higher-income and heavy consumer households would benefit the most from this policy.

Replacing added sugar with low-energy sweeteners or complex carbohydrates in a diet may lead to lower energy intake and weight reduction, according to a limited number of short-term studies. However, more research is needed to determine the long-term effects.

A study examined the effects of different carbohydrate-to-fat ratios on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance in adults who had lost weight. The study found that a low-carbohydrate diet increased energy expenditure. However, further research is needed before making any changes to clinical practice.

Substituting corn oil and sugar with flaxseed oil and grape in calorie-restricted high-fat diets had various effects on weight changes and metabolic markers in obese mice. However, none of the food combinations facilitated long-term weight reduction.

Dietary intake of sugars in the UK population was assessed to evaluate adherence to public health recommendations. The study found that added and free sugar intake accounted for 7% to 13% of total energy intake, with cereals, beverages, and sweets being major sources. Differences between added and free sugar intake highlight the need for standardized monitoring.

This study examines the relationship between diet soda consumption and diabetic retinopathy. Results show a correlation between diet soda intake, high blood sugar levels, and retinopathy. More research is needed.

Philadelphia implemented a tax on sugar-sweetened and diet beverages in 2017. After 12 months, there was no major impact on consumption of these beverages.

The intake of total, added, and free sugars in Switzerland is relatively high and does not meet WHO guidelines. Sugar consumption is higher among younger adults and lower in the Italian-speaking region. Adherence to sugar guidelines is generally low, especially among young adults.

Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) have higher total carbohydrate and sugar intake compared to healthy controls. Increased sugar consumption is associated with worse non-motor symptoms and disease severity in PD patients. Simple dietary modifications may alleviate PD symptoms.

Consuming high sucrose diets leads to more pathological and metabolic changes in the liver compared to high-fat diets, despite both causing obesity and liver steatosis in animal models.

Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened or artificial sweetened beverages does not strongly affect semen quality in young men, except for a slight decrease in morphologically normal sperm count with moderate consumption of artificially sweetened beverages.
