Dietary Sugar and the Childhood Obesity Epidemic

Preventing childhood obesity is vital due to its association with lifelong obesity, metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia, obesity-related cancers, in addition to psychosocial repercussions and decreased educational attainment. From 1975 to 2016, mean BMI and obesity rates in children and adolescents aged 5-19 years have increased globally and in most regions.

Added sugar consumption is the primary factor associated with childhood obesity trends, in addition to being associated with other detrimental health conditions such as dental caries, asthma, altered lipid profiles, hypertension, and cancer. A 2019 a**lysis of data compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2011 to 2016 revealed 98% of American toddlers and 60% of infants consume added sugar in sweetened foods and beverages. Sweet bakery products were in the top 3 sources of added sugar for both toddlers and infants. Previous studies examining sugar intake in older children (aged 2-8 years) also reported sweet bakery products to be one of the top three sources for added sugar. Fruit drinks, yogurt, and sugar-sweetened beverages were other important sources of added sugar identified by researchers. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended limiting added sugars consumption to ＜10% of total caloric intake for children aged 2 to 19 years. In 2017, the AHA released a statement advising children less than 2 years to old to avoid consuming added sugars entirely. The most recent a**lysis of CDC data revealed about 70% of American children older than 2 years exceed recommendations for added sugars intake.

vitaSWEET vs Stevia

Both vitaSWEET and Stevia are zero on the glycemic index, meaning they have no effect on blood glucose levels.

The Problem with Stevia:

Stevia is 200 times sweeter than sugar, but in its raw form it has a very unpleasant aftertaste. For this reason chemicals to rid the aftertaste are added, such as maltodextrin, which has an even higher glycemic index than glucose!

What is even more problematic is that it is not required to add the added chemicals on the label as they usually contain less than 0.5 grams.

vitaSWEET - the healthy choice:

vitaSWEET is the perfect alternative to sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and other alternative sweeteners such as Stevia. vitaSWEET tastes like sugar and has no unpleasant aftertaste. It is stable at high temperatures and can be used as a 1-to-1 replacement for sugar in baking and cooking.

Approximately 80% of people with Alzheimer’s disease also have some form of diabetes, insulin resistance, or disturbed glucose metabolism. The connection between Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes is so close, that researchers have now begun referring to Alzheimer’s as “type 3 diabetes”. This finding is significant because it suggests that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia can be reduced through dietary and lifestyle modifications.

Vita Columbia Clinical Research Inc. is taking the initiative to educate society on the new findings correlating Alzheimer’s disease with diabetes, and the possibility for prevention through lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes.

A simple method to reduce added sugar consumption, is by substituting table sugar and high fructose corn syrup with vitaSWEET in cooking, baking, and beverages. vitaSWEET tastes like sugar, but is 0 on the glycemic index, meaning that it has no effect on blood glucose levels.

vitaSWEET is formulated with two simple ingredients: monk fruit and erythritol. Monk fruit or luo han guo is native to southern China and northern Thailand, and has almost 300 times natural sweetness than that of sugar. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as a cold and digestive aid, and was first mentioned in the records of 14th century Chinese monks. Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol derived from fruits and plants. Vita Columbia’s unique blend of both monk fruit and erythritol is as sweet as sugar and can be used as a 1-to-1 replacement in recipes.

The Role of Hyperglycemia-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetes, Atherosclerosis and Inflammatory Disorders

“Endothelial dysfunction is responsible for the vascular complications associated with T2DM, and is believed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, cerebral small vessel disease, and autoimmune disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, emerging research has identified endothelial dysfunction as an early pivotal event preceding the development of coronary artery atherosclerosis.”

Autism and Gestational Diabetes: The Importance of Managing Pre-Pregnancy Pre-Diabetes

“In the United States, 29.3% of adults 20-22 years of age have detectable pre-diabetes, and it is highly possible that many of GDM cases are actually undiagnosed pre-pregnancy hyperglycemia of varying severity.”
