By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 8 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers evaluated the potential cognitive and metabolic health benefits of replacing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with non-nutritive sweetened beverages among young adults.
About the study In the present unblinded, three-group parallel design study, researchers investigated whether SSB intake-reducing interventions such as consuming low-calorie or unsweetened beverages could enhance hippocampus-associated cognitive function in humans over 12 weeks . The primary study outcomes were short-term changes in verbal memory and the waist circumference to height ratio , assessed at study initiation, week 6.0 and week 12.0 of the intervention period, and during 12.0 weeks of follow-up post-intervention. Cognitive changes were evaluated using the logical memory test.
Results and discussion Of the 118 individuals allocated to the study groups, 97 completed the 12.0-week intervention, among whom 39 were female, and 87 returned for follow-up evaluations 12.0 weeks post-intervention. Among the study participants, the mean documented SSB intake at baseline was 6.70 liters weekly.
Consistently elevated percentages for delayed-type recall were observed, with individuals reciting 90.0% of the data recalled by them during the acute recall test, in accordance with prior studies, but raising the probability of ceiling effects and lowering the ability to determine the influence of the study intervention. Further research must be conducted, incorporating more challenging types of test batteries.
