Quote from Lead Author:<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span> \u2022 \u201cDrinking your sugar\u2014whether from soda or juice\u2014is more problematic for health than eating it.\u201d \u2014 Karen Della Corte, PhD, Brigham Young University.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span> 5. Policy Implication:<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span> \u2022 The study urges stricter dietary guidelines for liquid sugars, highlighting the importance of sugar source and form rather than just focusing on \u201ctotal sugar.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div>The findings suggest that the form and context of sugar intake matter; This distinction was reinforced by a June 2025 meta-analysis of over 800,000 adults, which found that sugar from sweetened beverages increased the risk of type 2 diabetes (up to 25% per serving), while sugar consumed as part of nutrient-dense foods showed no such association.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2161831325000493\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2161831325000493<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drinking Sugar Poses Greater Diabetes Risk Than Eating It, Study Finds The article was highlighted on June 2, 2025 , in the \u2018Heart Health\u2019 category &amp; available in full at the ScienceDirect.
