The Claim
In Thai university students, sugar intake from sugar-sweetened beverages increases progressively across BMI categories, from 25.2 g/day in underweight individuals to 34.0 g/day in those classified as obese.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Thai university students with higher body mass index (BMI) consume more sugar from sugary drinks than those with lower BMI, with underweight students consuming 25.2 grams per day and obese students consuming 34.0 grams per day.
See the scientific wording
In Thai university students, sugar intake from sugar-sweetened beverages increases progressively across BMI categories, from 25.2 g/day in underweight individuals to 34.0 g/day in those classified as obese, suggesting a dose-response relationship between SSB consumption and body weight classification.
When people drink sugary beverages, the fructose in them goes to the liver, where it is turned into fat. This fat builds up around the organs inside the abdomen, making the body store more fat overall and increasing body weight classification.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that Thai college students who are heavier tend to drink more sugary drinks each day than thinner students, and the more overweight they are, the more sugar they get from these drinks.
