United States researchers compared, for the first time, 100 percent fruit juices with sugar-sweetened beverages such as cola and lemonade.
After factors such as obesity were taken into account, those with the highest intake had an 11 percent increased risk of dying from any cause for every extra 12oz of sugar-sweetened drink consumed, and a 24 percent increased risk for every extra 12oz of fruit juice consumed. The authors suggested a few possible reasons for the increased risk of dying from consumption of sugary drinks. Obesity is obviously the main factor, they said, but once that is taken into account, research suggests that sugary drinks increase insulin resistance. Other factors may be that consuming fructose alters blood lipid levels, markers of inflammation and blood pressure, while high glucose consumption has been associated with insulin resistance and diabetes.
Investigators tested the effects of grapefruit juice on the QT interval following the same stringent criteria used by the pharmaceutical industry to test new drugs before market release. The study was performed according to the “Guidelines for the Clinical Evaluation of QT/QTc for Non-antiarrhythmic Drugs,” namely, a randomized crossover design, accurate and blinded QT analysis. As positive control, they used moxifloxacin, an antibiotic with known, albeit small, QT-prolonging properties.
“Fruit juices can provide vitamins and even some fibre, but there is little health benefit beyond this: the amount of phytochemical found in juices is too low to have any further beneficial effect, and there is no beneficial health effect from so-called antioxidants. “If the association is shown to be causal , this would have a number of implications: first of all, it would suggest that it does not matter whether sugary drinks are lemonades or fruit juices.
