Abstract Objectives To determine if there were relationships between biomarkers of thirst, hunger, perceived thirst and perceived hunger in relation to time and carbonated beverage consumption. Methods Participants (males n = 14, females n = 15) aged 23–65, had a BMI < 30 kg/m2, and no reported chronic disease. Participants completed six data collections, arriving four hours fasted and consuming one of six randomized beverages (water, carbonated-no flavor [CNF], carbonated lime flavor [CL], degassed lime flavor [DL], carbonated lime flavor with aspartame [CLS], and degassed lime flavor with aspartame [DLS]). Blood was collected via finger stick at 0 min (baseline), followed by beverage consumption, and again at 10 and 45 min. post consumption. Perceived hunger and thirst were measured by visual analog scale. Acylated ghrelin and copeptin concentrations were assessed by ELISA assay. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to determine relationships. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to determine differences in ghrelin response. Results Perceived hunger scores differed by time (P < 0.0001) but not by beverage (P > 0.05) and there was no interaction. However, acylated ghrelin concentration did not differ by beverage or time (P > 0.05).  Acylated ghrelin overall was 86.25 ± 92.30 pg/mL (mean ± SD).  There was no relationship between perceived hunger and acylated ghrelin concentration at any time point or beverage (P > 0.05). Adjusting for gender or BMI had no impact. Perceived thirst differed by time (P < 0.0001) but not by beverage (P > 0.05). Copeptin concentrations are currently being analyzed via ELISA assay. Preliminary results for copeptin concentrations from participants consuming water and CNF did not differ by beverage or time.  The average copeptin concentration measured from participants for these two beverages was 4.5 ± 4.0 ng/mL. After all samples are analyzed for copeptin, correlation will be run to determine if there is any relationship between copeptin, ghrelin, and perceived hunger and thirst. Conclusions Perceived hunger and thirst changed over time, regardless of beverage type. However, biomarker concentrations were not related to those changes. Perception of satiety may be influenced by other factors other than physiological signals. Funding Sources Funded by the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Faculty Development Grant.

AbstractObjective:Carbonated beverage consumption is associated with various adverse health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and CVD. Pakistan has a high burden of these health conditions. At the same time, the carbonated beverage industry is rapidly growing in Pakistan. In this context, we analyse the trends and socioeconomic factors associated with carbonated beverage consumption in Pakistan.Design:We use six waves of the cross-sectional household surveys from 2005–2006 to 2015–2016 to analyse carbonated beverage consumption. We examine the trends in carbonated beverage consumption-prevalence for different economic groups categorised by per capita household consumption quintiles. We estimate the expenditure elasticity of carbonated beverages for these groups using a two-stage budgeting system framework. We also construct concentration curves of carbonated beverage expenditure share to analyse the burden of expenditure across households of different economic status.Setting:Pakistan.Participants:Nationally representative sample of households in respective survey waves.Results:We find that the wealthier the household, the higher is the prevalence of carbonated beverage consumption, and the prevalence has increased for all household groups over time. From the expenditure elasticity analysis, we observe that carbonated beverages are becoming an essential part of food consumption particularly for wealthier households. And, lastly, poorer households are bearing a larger share of carbonated beverage expenditure in 2014–2016 than that in 2006–2008.Conclusion:Carbonated beverages are becoming an increasingly essential part of household food consumption in Pakistan. Concerns about added sugar intake can prompt consideration of public health approaches to reduce dietary causes of the disease burden in Pakistan.

e12548 Background: There is speculation of possible links between sweetened carbonated beverage consumption and the risk of developing cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the association between sweetened, carbonated beverage consumption and cancer risk. Methods: PRISMA guidelines of meta-analyses were followed as closely as possible. Over 50 independent estimates of risk were available, 11 for colas specifically. A random effects meta-analysis was performed with tests for publication bias (Begg, Egger, Macaskill) performed as well as Higgins and Thompson’s I2 measure of the percentage of heterogeneity between studies which could not be explained by chance. Results: Overall the different sites of cancer, the summary relative risk (SRR) when all 56 independent estimates were considered together was SRR=1.04 (95% CI (0.96, 1.13)). On this overall scale, there appears to be no association between consumption of soft-drinks and the risk of cancer. When individual cancer sites were considered, there was no significant increase, or decrease in the meta-analysis estimate of risk of cancer of the pancreas, bladder, kidney, oesophageal squamous cell or adenocarcinoma, colon, gastric cardia, gastric non-cardia, prostate, breast, larynx and ovary nor from the oral cavity, pharynx, glioma, leukaemia or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma where only one study was available. There was no evidence in a sensitivity analysis from those studies which reported results separately for coke, pepsi or other colas of an associated risk of pancreas cancer (SRR=1.00, 95% CI (0.61; 1.65)) based on three studies. The results for all other forms of cancers were greatly hampered by poor methodology and small numbers of studies (mainly one report on each cancer site studied). Conclusions: Overall, the findings are reassuring regarding the association between soft drinks, including colas and cancer risk, although the quality of many of the studies is quite poor by acceptable, modern standards and no study has been conducted with use of carbonated beverages as a primary hypothesis.

Abstract Objectives The goals were to 1) determine the change in perceived hunger and perceived thirst when consuming carbonated, flavored, and artificially sweetened beverages and 2) to determine if carbonated beverage consumption habits predict perceived hunger and thirst. Methods Participants (males n = 14 and females n = 15) aged 23–65, BMI < 30 kg/m,2 and not diagnosed with any chronic disease randomly consumed six different beverage treatments (water, carbonated - no flavor [CNF], carbonated - lime flavor [CL], degassed - lime flavor [DL], carbonated - lime flavor with aspartame [CLS], and degassed - lime flavor with aspartame [DLS]) in a single-blinded, cross-over design. Beverage consumption habits of participants were recorded at the first data collection appointment. Participants were asked to eat a breakfast of approximately 400 calories and a subsequent four hour fast on six separate days. A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure perceived hunger and thirst at 0 (baseline), followed by beverage consumption, and then measured at 10 and 45 minutes post consumption. ANOVA was used to determine the difference in hunger and thirst perceptions by beverage. Regression determined the influence of beverage consumption habits perceived hunger and thirst at three different time points and the change in perceived hunger and thirst. Results Perceived hunger and thirst significantly changed over time (P < 0.001) but did not differ by beverage (P > 0.05). There was no interaction between time and beverage (P > 0.05). Perceived hunger scores were 48.59 ± 18.37 and 54.89 ± 18.94 (mean ± SD) at baseline (0 min) and 45 min, respectively (P < 0.0001). Perceived thirst scores were 54.00 ± 15.22 at baseline (0 min) and 46.37 ± 17.22 at 45 min (P < 0.0001). Habitual frequency of carbonated beverage consumption did not influence change in perceived thirst, change in perceived hunger, baseline perceived hunger or baseline thirst in the study (P > 0.05). Conclusions Perceived hunger significantly increased from baseline to 45-minutes, while perceived thirst significantly decreased from baseline to 45-min. Habitual frequency of consumption of carbonated beverages may have limited impact on changes in perceived hunger and thirst when consuming various beverages.

Previous studies have suggested that carbonated beverages may cause gastro-oesophageal reflux. Pepsin (the major enzyme secreted by the stomach) has been suggested to be an objective, acute marker of a reflux event. This pilot study aimed to investigate whether intake of carbonated beverages could affect pepsin concentration in saliva or reflux symptoms. This was assessed by a randomised, crossover trial where participants consumed 330 mL of beverage (carbonated cola, degassed cola or water) at separate visits. Saliva samples and symptom questionnaires were collected at baseline and over the 30 min postprandial period. Pepsin was detected in all saliva samples. No difference was found in the salivary pepsin concentrations between treatments at all time points. There were significantly higher scores (p > 0.05) for feelings of fullness, heartburn, urge to belch and frequency of belches after ingestion of carbonated cola than degassed cola and water. The ingestion of carbonated beverages did not appear to increase postprandial pepsin concentration in saliva compared to other beverages but did evoke higher levels of reflux-related symptoms such as fullness, heartburn and belching. This suggests carbonated beverages may cause symptoms associated with reflux but do not drive detectable levels of gastric juice to reach the oral cavity.
