Metabolomic Links between Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake and Obesity

Background . Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is highly associated with obesity, but the metabolic mechanism underlying this correlation is not understood. Objective . Our objective was to examine metabolomic links between SSB intake and obesity to understand metabolic mechanisms. Design . We examined the association of plasma metabolomic profiles with SSB intake and obesity risk in 781 participants, aged 45–75 y, in the Boston Puerto...
