Key messages
- Epidemiological research has linked sugar consumption to the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
- Our objective was to compare the consumption of HFCS or sucrose-sweetened beverages (SB) at 25% of energy requirement on hepatic lipid content and insulin sensitivity in young adults.
- Hepatic lipid content significantly increased during consumption of HFCS- and sucrose-SB compared with baseline levels and compared with aspartame-SB. Insulin sensitivity indexes were significantly decreased by consumption of HFCS- and sucrose-SB compared with aspartame-SB.
- These data are important for shaping public health policy, dietary recommendations as well as consumer choices for the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Type 2 Diabetes.

My interest in nutrition and human health was inspired by witnessing diet-related health disparities in my Hispanic community in Central California and being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 7. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar examining the metabolic effects of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages in young adults as well as studying policy and environmental interventions to prevent chronic disease and reduce health disparities.
