The Claim
Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with increased fat accumulation through mechanisms such as hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and de novo lipogenesis.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating too many sugary foods and drinks like soda and white bread can make your body store more fat because they cause your insulin levels to spike, which tricks your body into turning sugar into fat.
