consumption of sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened Soft Drinks and risk of cancers not related to obesity
International Journal of Cancer, 2020Co-Authors: Julie K Bassett, Roger L Milne, Dallas R English, Graham G Giles, Allison M HodgeAbstract:: Consumption of sugary Drinks increases the risk of obesity. Previously, we reported a positive association between sugar-sweetened Soft drink consumption and obesity-related cancer, but this association was not fully explained by obesity; in contrast, we found no association for consumption of artificially sweetened Soft Drinks. Our aim was to determine whether the consumption of sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened Soft Drinks was associated with cancers other than those currently identified as being related to obesity. We used data from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study. Participants completed a 121-item food-frequency questionnaire at baseline including separate questions about the number of times in the past year they had consumed sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened Soft Drinks. Cox regression models were fitted to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the risk of cancers not related to obesity. During 19 years of follow-up, there were 35,109 eligible participants who developed 4,789 cancers not related to obesity. There was no association between frequency of consuming sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks and the risk of these cancers, but an unexpected positive association was observed for consumption of artificially sweetened Soft Drinks. Although, we did not find an association with sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks, we previously reported a positive association with obesity-related cancers, not fully explained by obesity. These findings leave unresolved the question of whether consumption of sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks influences cancer risk independently of their influence on body size.

consumption of sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened Soft Drinks and risk of obesity related cancers
Public Health Nutrition, 2018Co-Authors: Allison M Hodge, Julie K Bassett, Roger L Milne, Dallas R English, Graham G GilesAbstract:Objective To test the hypothesis that more frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks would be associated with increased risk of obesity-related cancers. Associations for artificially sweetened Soft Drinks were assessed for comparison. Design Prospective cohort study with cancers identified by linkage to cancer registries. At baseline, participants completed a 121-item FFQ including separate questions about the number of times in the past year they had consumed sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened Soft Drinks. Anthropometric measurements, including waist circumference, were taken and questions about smoking, leisure-time physical activity and intake of alcoholic beverages were completed. Setting The Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (MCCS) is a prospective cohort study which recruited 41 514 men and women aged 40–69 years between 1990 and 1994. A second wave of data collection occurred in 2003–2007. Subjects Data for 35 593 participants who developed 3283 incident obesity-related cancers were included in the main analysis. Results Increasing frequency of consumption of both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened Soft Drinks was associated with greater waist circumference at baseline. For sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks, the hazard ratio (HR) for obesity-related cancers increased as frequency of consumption increased (HR for consumption >1/d v . P -trend=0·007). For artificially sweetened Soft Drinks, the HR for obesity-related cancers was not associated with consumption (HR for consumption >1/d v . P -trend=0·61). Conclusions Our results add to the justification to minimise intake of sugar-sweetened Soft Drinks.

Price elasticity of the demand for Soft Drinks, other sugar-sweetened beverages and energy dense food in Chile
BMC Public Health, 2017Co-Authors: Carlos M. Guerrero-lópez, Mishel Unar-munguía, M. Arantxa ColcheroAbstract:BackgroundChile is the second world’s largest per capita consumer of caloric beverages. Caloric beverages are associated with overweight, obesity and other chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to estimate the price elasticity of demand for Soft Drinks, other sugar-sweetened beverages and high-energy dense foods in urban areas in Chile in order to evaluate the potential response of households’ consumption to changes in prices.MethodsWe used microdata from the VII Family Budget Survey 2012–2013, which collects information on expenditures made by Chilean urban households on items such as beverages and foods. We estimated a Linear Approximation of an Almost Ideal Demand System Model to derive own and cross price elasticities of milk, coffee, tea and other infusions, plain water, Soft Drinks, other flavored beverages, sweet snacks, sugar and honey, and desserts. We considered the censored nature of the data and included the Inverse Mills Ratio in each equation of the demand system. We estimated a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System and a two-part model as sensitivity analysis.ResultsWe found an own price-elasticity of −1.37 for Soft Drinks. This implies that a price increase of 10% is associated with a reduction in consumption of 13.7%. We found that the rest of food and beverages included in the demand system behave as substitutes for Soft Drinks. For instance, plain water showed a cross-price elasticity of 0.63: a 10% increase in price of Soft Drinks could lead to an increase of 6.3% of plain water. Own and cross price elasticities were similar between models.ConclusionsThe demand of Soft Drinks is price sensitive among Chilean households. An incentive system such as subsidies to non-sweetened beverages and tax to Soft Drinks could lead to increases in the substitutions for other healthier beverages.

price elasticity of the demand for sugar sweetened beverages and Soft Drinks in mexico
Economics and Human Biology, 2015Co-Authors: M. Arantxa Colchero, J C Salgado, Mishel Unarmunguia, Mauricio Hernandezavila, Juan RiveradommarcoAbstract:A large and growing body of scientific evidence demonstrates that sugar Drinks are harmful to health. Intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is a risk factor for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Mexico has one of the largest per capita consumption of Soft Drinks worldwide and high rates of obesity and diabetes. Fiscal approaches such as taxation have been recommended as a public health policy to reduce SSB consumption. We estimated an almost ideal demand system with linear approximation for beverages and high-energy food by simultaneous equations and derived the own and cross price elasticities for Soft Drinks and for all SSB (Soft Drinks, fruit juices, fruit Drinks, flavored water and energy Drinks). Models were stratified by income quintile and marginality index at the municipality level. Price elasticity for Soft Drinks was −1.06 and −1.16 for SSB, i.e., a 10% price increase was associated with a decrease in quantity consumed of Soft Drinks by 10.6% and 11.6% for SSB. A price increase in Soft Drinks is associated with larger quantity consumed of water, milk, snacks and sugar and a decrease in the consumption of other SSB, candies and traditional snacks. The same was found for SSB except that an increase in price of SSB was associated with a decrease in snacks. Higher elasticities were found among households living in rural areas (for Soft Drinks), in more marginalized areas and with lower income. Implementation of a tax to Soft Drinks or to SSB could decrease consumption particularly among the poor. Substitutions and complementarities with other food and beverages should be evaluated to assess the potential impact on total calories consumed.
