Dietary sugars and cardiometabolic risk factors: a network meta-analysis on isocaloric substitution interventions

There is controversy on the relevance of dietary sugar intake for cardiometabolic health. The aim of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to assess how isocaloric substitutions of dietary sugar with other carbohydrates affect cardiometabolic risk factors, comparing different intervention studies. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the isocaloric effect of substituting dietary sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose) with...
