AbstractObjectiveTo examine demographic and behavioural correlates of high consumption of soft drinks (non-alcoholic sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks excluding energy drinks) among Australian adolescents and to explore the associations between high consumption and soft drink perceptions and accessibility.DesignCross-sectional self-completion survey and height and weight measurements.SettingAustralian secondary schools.SubjectsStudents aged 12–17 years participating in the 2012–13 National Secondary Students’ Diet and Activity (NaSSDA) survey (n 7835).ResultsOverall, 14 % of students reported consuming four or more cups (≥1 litres) of soft drinks each week (‘high soft drink consumers’). Demographic factors associated with high soft drink consumption were being male and having at least $AU 40 in weekly spending money. Behavioural factors associated with high soft drink consumption were low fruit intake, consuming energy drinks on a weekly basis, eating fast foods at least once weekly, eating snack foods ≥14 times/week, watching television for >2 h/d and sleeping for <8 h/school night. Students who perceived soft drinks to be usually available in their home, convenient to buy and good value for money were more likely to be high soft drink consumers, as were students who reported usually buying these drinks when making a beverage purchase from the school canteen/vending machine.ConclusionsHigh soft drink consumption clusters with other unhealthy lifestyle behaviours among Australian secondary-school students. Interventions focused on reducing the availability of soft drinks (e.g. increased taxes, restricting their sale in schools) as well as improved education on their harms are needed to lower adolescents’ soft drink intake.

Abstract:
Public health interest in reducing the intake of sugar-sweetened soft drinks has resulted in various guidelines and initiatives related to their consumption, together with an increase in availability and sales of low and no-sugars versions. The aim of this review was to gain insight regarding individual-level amounts and types of soft drinks consumed across the lifecycle as reported in nationally representative surveys in Europe. The review highlighted significant gaps and challenges regarding the availability of recent country-specific soft drink consumption data including heterogeneity in categorisations used in reporting soft drinks. Nonetheless, crude estimates of mean intake (across countries) indicated that total soft drinks and soft drinks with sugars was highest in adolescents and lowest in infants/toddlers and older adults. For infants/toddlers, crude mean intakes of soft drinks with reduced/no sugars were higher than soft drinks with sugars. The review also found that consumption of total soft drinks is decreasing with a shift to consumption of soft drinks with reduced/no sugars in replacement of sugars-containing soft drinks. This review provides valuable insight into what data are currently available on soft drink consumption in Europe with heterogeneity in categorisations, terminology, and definitions of soft drinks observed.

Abstract:
Over the past years, beverages with excessive sugar, caffeine and sodium were consumed more. Today, consumers have been more educated, prefer healthier options, and growing trend of healthy lifestyle have led to an increase demand for natural and healthy products. The aim of the study was to analyze young consumers’ soft drink buying behaviors in threefold by explaining reasons of buying soft drinks, factors that affect soft drink buying decisions, and preferences about ingredients in soft drinks. The survey method was used, and the field study was conducted with university students in Izmir City, Turkiye by convenience sampling method. The results showed that young consumers buy soft drinks since they like its taste, they can use them as a substitution of water when they are thirsty, and they can find soft drinks easily at every point of sales. It was obtained that the most important factor affecting students’ soft drink buying decisions is the brand name of the soft drink. Besides, it was found out that packaging, aroma diversity, and having healthy ingredients also affect their buying decisions. It was revealed that young generation’s main concern regarding the ingredients in soft drinks was sugar level. The study contributes to literature by investigating young consumers’ soft drinks buying behaviors and showing how health-conscious behaviors may change buying behaviors.

Abstract:
Soft drink refers to sugar-sweetened beverages that contain a natural or artificial flavoring. Daily soft drinks consumption in children is an unhealthy lifestyle behavior that demands special attention to maintain their healthy lives. The present study was aimed to examine the consumption of soft drink and its influence on BMI, and academic performance among selected school children in Dhaka City of Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was nested among 600 randomly selected young school-aged children (6-17 years, both boys and girls) from the six English Medium schools in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect the data using a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were done using SPSS 20.0. Results showed that about 48% of the school children consumed soft drinks regularly. Raised weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) was higher among regular soft drink consumers compared to their counterparts (p<0.05). Study revealed that girls (49%) consumed more artificial color soft drinks than boys (30%). On bivariate analysis, the availability (p<0.01) and accessibility of soft drinks (p<0.01), peer influence (p<0.01), low price (p<0.01) and advertisement (p<0.01) were established to be significant determinants for soft drink consumption among the young school students. Study findings showed that academic performance was better among non-consumers of soft drinks (p<0.001). The overall consumption of soft drinks is alarming among school children and its influence on increasing BMI and decreasing academic performance. The high consumption of soft drinks deserve due attention to avoid the development of non-communicable diseases. Therefore, well coordinated health education programs are recommended to minimize the consumption of soft drinks among school children.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate time trends in the availability of soft drinks, to identify food choices associated with their consumption and to assess the relationship between socio-economic status and daily soft drink availability in a wide range of European countries.DesignData on food and beverage availability collected through the national household budget surveys and harmonized in the DAFNE (Data Food Networking) project were used. Averages and variability of soft drink availability were estimated and tests for time trends were performed. The daily availability of food groups which appear to be correlated with that of soft drinks was further estimated. Multivariate logistic and linear regression models were applied to evaluate the association between socio-economic status and the acquisition of soft drinks.SettingTwenty-four European countries.SubjectsNationally representative samples of households.ResultsThe availability of soft drinks is steadily and significantly increasing. Households in West and North Europe reported higher daily availability of soft drinks in comparison to other European regions. Soft drinks were also found to be correlated with lower availability of plant foods and milk and higher availability of meat and sugar products. Lower socio-economic status was associated with more frequent and higher availability of soft drinks in the household.ConclusionsData collected in national samples of twenty-four European countries showed disparities in soft drink availability among socio-economic strata and European regions. The correlation of soft drinks with unfavourable dietary choices has public health implications, particularly among children and adolescents.

Abstract:
The present study examined the prospective relationship between parental education and adolescents' soft drink intake over 20 months, and possible mediating effects of adolescents' availability and accessibility of soft drinks at home. A total of 866 adolescents, with data on two time points in the Norwegian HEalth In Adolescents (HEIA) cohort study (2007–9), were included in the analyses. Data on intake and determinants of soft drinks were collected from adolescents and both parents by questionnaires. Mediation analyses using linear regression investigated the total and direct effects of parental education on adolescents' soft drink intake from the age of 11–13 years. In order to investigate prospective relationships, two models were set up to measure the (1) prediction and (2) change in consumption over 20 months. Possible mediation effects of availability and perceived accessibility at home were further examined in both models. The results showed that a lower level of parental education predicted a higher intake of soft drinks among adolescents after 20 months, and that higher perceived accessibility of soft drinks reported by adolescents and mothers explained 39 % of the total effect. No relationship was observed between parental education and the change in adolescents' intake of soft drinks over 20 months. Interventions aimed at families with low parental education should target the perceived accessibility of soft drinks at home in order to diminish social differences in adolescents' soft drink consumption.

Abstract:
Adolescence age group has significant impact of advertizing industry for use of soft drink and junk food. Present study is aimed to find out the alteration in the bone markers in medical and dental students, who regularly consume soft drinks. Students from our institute were divided (n = 200) in two groups. Group A – Students who consume 200 ml or less than 200 ml of soft drink in a week. Group B -Students consuming more than 200 ml of either ‘regular’ soft drink (B1) or ‘diet’ soft drink (B2) per day There is a significant decrease in the levels of bone density, calcium, phosphorous, vitamin D and increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase in Group B2 than group A as well as B1.Diet soft drinks are consumed instead of regular soft drinks, the decrease in the pH due to phosphoric acid and aspartame; may lead to bone demineralization resulting into decreased bone density. Inhibition of 1alpha hydroxylase may get inhibited due to acid pH caused by phosphoric acid from soft drinks. These changes may lead to develop tendency of bone fractures in the future life.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the consumption patterns and attitudes towards soft drinks among Indian youth. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was used to investigate consumption patterns, attitudes, and socio-demographic profiles of college-attending respondents between the ages of 18 and 30. Cluster analysis and factor analysis were undertaken to obtain a better understanding of the attitudes among young consumers towards soft drinks. A logistic regression model was used as a predictor to distinguish between frequent and non-frequent soft drink consumers. Findings Indian youths preferred diet drinks and fruit juices more than regular soft drinks. Soft drinks were mostly consumed as distinct drinks (not as substitutes) and on specific occasions. Easy availability of soft drinks at the locations closure to consumers was a critical factor in determining consumers’ purchase and consumption level. Attitude towards the utility and nutritional dimensions of soft drinks had a positive and significant influence on the frequency of consumption. Practical implications To remain competitive, soft drinks’ companies need to focus more on healthy products and those that are refreshing and relaxing. Social implications Regulating the availability of soft drinks in and around educational institutions will affect consumption of soft drinks and reduce diseases. Originality/value Only a few studies investigating consumption patterns and attitudes among Indian youth towards soft drinks. This study attempts to fill the gap.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify determinants of adolescents’ consumption of carbonated soft drinks (regular and diet), both of total consumption and of consumption at school.Design/Setting/SubjectsRegular and diet soft drink consumption was measured by food frequency questions that were dichotomised. Several potential environmental and personal determinants of consumption were measured. A total of 2870 (participation rate: 85%) 9th and 10th graders, within 33 Norwegian schools, participated in the study. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were preformed for total soft drink consumption (twice a week or more vs. less) and for consumption at school (once a week or more vs. less).ResultsA total of 63% and 27% of the participants reported to drink respectively regular and diet soft drinks twice a week or more, and 24% and 8%, respectively, reported to drink soft drinks once a week or more at school. Preferences, accessibility, modelling and attitudes were the strongest determinants of both regular and diet soft drink consumption. In addition, gender, educational plans and dieting were related to both total soft drink consumption and consumption at school. Pupils with longer distance from school to shop and those in schools with rules concerning soft drink consumption tended to have lower odds of drinking both regular and diet soft drinks at school.ConclusionThis study shows that gender, educational plans, dieting, accessibility, modelling, attitudes and preferences all seem to be strong determinants of adolescents’ soft drink consumption. Parents and the home environment appear as great potential intervention targets.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Deciduous and permanent teeth differ in shape and calcium content. Deciduous enamel and dentin are thinner and softer than permanent teeth. Chronic, frequent imbibing of acidulated pop-drinks imbibing is erosive, and dentinal pain occurs after rinsing with acidulated pop-drinks. Since calcium and phosphorous leach from teeth with acid drinks, we investigated pop-colas and pop-guaraná for pain sensitivity and erosion in adults and children. AIM: This research assessed (i) in vitro, the pH buffering, calcium, phosphorous and fluoride content of pop-guaraná and pop-colas. This research compares (ii) in situ scanning surface electron microscopy (ESEM) of granular hydroxyapatite crystals (HAP), enamel, dentin and enamel-dentin junctions (AMCJx) after exposure to pop-colas and pop-guaraná. This research reports (iii) in vivo calcium and phosphorous, leached from children and adults derived from erosion after swishing with pop-colas and pop-guaraná. This research assesses (iv) in vivo pain in children and adults after swishing with pop-colas and pop-guaraná. METHODS: Six pop-colas (3 regular; 3 diet) and six pop-guaraná drinks (4 regular; 2 diet) were tested pH, buffering capacity, calcium, phosphorus and fluoride concentrations using standard chemical analytical methods: ICP-OES for calcium and phosphorous, and a Single Orion Electrode for fluoride, coupled to an automated electronic digital recorder. Scanning surface electron microscopy (ESEM), without metal coating, was used to examine calcified samples. The same precise microscopic locations were used for visual comparisons. Three cohort volunteers (adult dentate, adult edentulous and children dentate) swished aliquots of drinks for 30s. Each drink had readings recorded 72 times. Six colas and six guaraná drinks from source and mouth rinse were tested for calcium and phosphorous. VAS scales were used for comparisons of pain for each drink. RESULTS: Data showed significant (p < .0001) increases of calcium and phosphorous after rinsing with colas and significantly less (p < .0001) leaching after rinsing with guaraná. Guaraná induced less pain than colas. Children show more erosion with rinsing colas than guaraná, but less pain after cola rinsing than adults. Little pain with guaraná rinses was recorded in children. All guaraná pop-drinks have fluoride content, with a range from concentration at 0.8 ppm F- to 1.6ppm F. CONCLUSION: While both colas and guaraná are erosive to teeth and cause pain in adults and children, pop-colas are more erosive than guaraná in children, and colas induce more dentinal pain in adults than in children. Fluoride in the drink may modulate the erosion. ESEM evidence shows guaraná pop drinks demonstrate marked visual increases in mordant changes of HAP and the hard tissues of teeth. Some pop-guaraná drinks are less erosive than others are. KEYWORDS: Acid, attrition, abrasion, beverages, buffering, calcium, phosphorus, guaraná, erosion, teeth.
RésuméINTRODUCTION : Les dents décidues et les dents permanentes diffèrent par leur forme et teneur en calcium. L'émail et la dentine de dents décidues sont plus minces et moins dure que les dents permanentes. Si utilisée de façon chronique, souvent l'ingestion de boissons gazeuses acidulées est érosive, et la douleur dentinaire se produit après rinçage à boisson gazeuse acidulée. Étant donné la perte de calcium et de phosphore découlant de L'ingestion des boissons acides, nous avons étudié des boissons gazeuses colas et guaraná pour La sensibilité à la douleur et l'érosion. OBJECTIF: Cette recherche a évaluée: (i) in vitro le pH, le pouvoir tampon, le calcium, le phosphore et la quantité de fluorure des boissons gazeuses guaraná et colas, (ii) la comparaison des données in situ: - Surface de microscopie électronique à balayage: cristaux d'hydrox apatite granulaire, émail, dentine, l'émail -dentine jonction (AMCJx) (iii) in vivo la perte de calcium et de phosphore chez enfants et chez adultes pour l'érosion avec des boissons gazeuses colas et de guaraná, et (iv) la douleur après le rinçage. MÉTHODES: Six boissons gazeuses colas (3 régulières; 3 diètes) et six boissons gazeuses guaraná (4 régulières, 2 diètes), ont été testées le pH, le pouvoir tampon, le calcium, phosphures et le fluorure ont été mesurées dans le guaranás. En utilisant des méthodes chimiques classiques d'analyse; ICP-OES pour le calcium et le phosphore et un unique Orion électrode pour le fluorure, couplé à un enregistreur numérique automatisé électronique. Trois cohortes de bénévoles, (la première des adultes dentées, la deuxième des adultes édentés, et la troisième des enfants dentées); rinçage des aliquotes de boissons pendant 30s. Chaque échantillon a été analysé, des mesures ainsi que des moyennes ont été enregistrées (α ÷ 6 = β où α a été la lecture et β la moyenne); 12 échantillons de chaque boisson ont été enregistrés (β X 12 mesures pour toutes les boissons) pour chaque boisson appréciée. En conséquence, chaque boisson a eue des lectures enregistrées pour un total de 72 fois, toutes avec des méthodes standards préétablies. Colas de la source et pos rinçage ont été testés pour le calcium et le phosphore. Des échelles EVA ont été utilisées pour les comparaisons de la douleur, (notes initiales et pos rinçage pour chaque boisson). Chaque analyse a été vérifiée comme décrite pour les six guaraná évaluées. RÉSULTAT: Les données ont montré une augmentation significative du calcium et du phosphore après rinçage avec les colas et beaucoup moins après rinçage avec le guaraná. Le Guaraná cause moins de douleur que les colas. Les enfants montrent une plus grande érosion lors du rinçage avec l'utilisation de cola par rapport le guaraná, mais moins de douleur. Cependant les enfants accusent moins de douleur après rinçage avec cola que les adultes. Chez les enfants, le rinçage avec le guaranás a produit peu de douleur. Toutes les boissons gazeuses à base de guaraná ont une quantité en fluorure. La boisson gazeuse Kuat montrant la plus faible concentration à 0,8ppm F- tandis que l'Antarctica et la régulière Mineiro sont a plus de 1,6ppm F-. CONCLUSION: Bien que les deux colas et le guaraná sont érosifs sur les dents et causent de la douleur chez les adultes et chez les enfants, les boissons gazeuses colas sont plus érosives que le guaraná chez les enfants, et les colas provoquent plus des douleurs dentinaires chez les adultes que chez les enfants. Le fluorure dans la boisson peut moduler l'érosion. La preuve ESEM démontre que les boissons gazeuses au guaranás. Dénotent une augmentation marquée de changements visuels concernant le occlusal/bord incisif de HAP et de tissus durs des dents. Guaraná Mineiro cause moins de dommages par rapport à toutes les boissons gazeuses guaraná testées. MOTS-CLÉS: acides, de l'attrition, l'abrasion, des boissons, le pouvoir tampon, le calcium, le phosphore, le guaranás. , l'érosion, dents.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Idag diskuteras det mycket kring vilken roll sockerkonsumtionen kan spela gällande de ökande hälsoproblemen i samhället. På senare tid har det flytande sockret lyfts fram som en av de stora bovarna i dramat och forskning visar på att läsk bestående oberoende av vanligt socker eller artificiellt socker, kan påverka hälsan negativt.SyfteSyftet med undersökningen var att granska ungdomars läskkonsumtion samt att ta reda på deras motiv till varför de föredrar att dricka vanlig läsk respektive lightläsk. Det är även av intresse att undersöka eventuella könsskillnader. MetodUndersökningen har gjorts med hjälp av en enkätundersökning med intention att beskriva ungdomars läskkonsumtion. Valet av undersökningsmetod syftade till att ge bredd åt undersökningen. Undersökningen gjordes på tre stycken 0-9 skolor i Vellinge kommun. Undersökningen var en totalundersökning på årskurserna 7-9 vilket resulterade i att inget urval gjordes. Sammanlagt medverkade 221 elever i undersökningen.ResultatGenom undersökningen framgår det att de flesta, d.v.s. 163 stycken (73,8 %) av de medverkande eleverna dricker läsk 1-3 gånger per vecka. Resultaten visar även att pojkar har en statistiskt säkerställd benägenhet att dricka mer läsk än flickor. Vid valet av vanlig läsk respektive lightläsk är vanlig läsk populärast då 162 av de medverkande eleverna föredrar att dricka vanlig läsk medan endast 56 elever föredrar att dricka lightläsk.SlutsatsUngdomarna tycks vara belysta kring de aspekter som media berört gällande sockrets och sötningsmedlenas tänkbara effekter på hälsan, men saknar kunskap kring de faktiska bevis som finns. Därför är det viktigt att både föräldrar och skola figurerar som förebilder och visar var man står gällande hälsofrågor. Detta för att på sikt kunna få bukt med dagens ökande ohälsa bland barn och ungdomar. Dagens barn och ungdomar behöver både undervisning i och redskap till att utveckla en hållbar hälsosam livsstil.
The pros and cons debate on the issue to what effect sugar has on our health, is widely spread today. During recent years liquid sugar has been identified as a major cause to the increasing health problems. The purpose of this thesis is to examine young peoples habits regarding consumption of soft drinks and to find out their motives and preferences for ordinary soft drinks respectively light soft drinks. It is also of interest to search for any variation in habits between the sexes. The survey, which included all students (221) at three 0-9 schools, was conducted by means of questionnaires in an opinion poll with the over all intention to describe young peoples consumption of soft drinks. The research shows that most young people drink soft drinks 1-3 times a week and that boys significantly drink a larger amount of soft drinks than girls do.The result also show that it is more popular to drink ordinary soft drinks than to drink light soft drinks.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the development of the soft drink market in China from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, with particular attention to the rise of Coca-Cola. It examines how soft drinks competed with traditional Chinese summer food and beverage such as watermelons, herbal tea, plum juice, and nutriments which were believed to have medical properties for people’s summer health, and eventually became one of the most popular types of beverages in the country. Over one hundred years in the Chinese minds, soft drinks changed from an exotic but unsavory beverage to a popular drink and a symbol of modernity. This dissertation argues that western science competing with traditional Chinese medicine has been a driving force in shaping beverage consumption in modern China. There were constant politics played by the state, businesses, and consumers on production, marketing, and consumption of soft drinks, making a bottle of drink not merely a commodity but one that embodied science, modernity, and identity in Chinese society. Following the introduction chapter, chapter 2 of the dissertation delineates the clash between Chinese and western food culture in the late nineteenth century. It shows how traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) including the yin-yang theory and the concept of medicine-food homology played a role in shaping Chinese food culture for centuries. By analyzing advertisement, chapter 3 examines how soft drinks, which were considered by Chinese people as an unpleasant and unhealthy drink according to TCM, were marketed and gradually accepted as a hygienic and healthy drink under the rhetoric of modernization. Since foreign-brands such as Coca-Cola were luxuries, cheap imitations provided ordinary Chinese people, especially urbanites, opportunities to experience “modernity.” Chapter 4 discusses the culture of imitation in modern China in regard of soft drinks. In the first half of the twentieth century, consumption were politicized in National Products Movements, in which soft drink brands were categorized into either Chinese or foreign and people’s loyalty to the nation was, to some extent, judged by their brand choice. However, there was something far more than nationalism that played a role in the picture. Taking the Shanghai Coca-Cola protest of 1947 as a case study, chapter 5 reveals that Chinese nationalism in National Products Movements in the late forties was used by Chinese businessmen to advance themselves in business competition. When political conflicts became a major theme in Maoist China, Coca-Cola was criticized as a symbol of imperialism and driven out of China. Nevertheless, science-driven consumption did not fade away. Chapter 6 shows that instead of promoting Coca-Cola, the People’s Republic of China “invented” salty soda as a prevention and treatment of heat stroke and widely distributed it among workers as a socialist welfare in summer. The final chapter discusses the return of Coca-Cola in the post-Mao era. It shows that science and modernity was a consistent subject in production and consumption in China, where the state promoted it cautiously due to political sensibility while ordinary Chinese people embraced it enthusiastically with little resistance.

Abstract:
I soft-drinks sono un ambiente estremamente stringente per la crescita microbica poiché presentano basso pH (< 4.0), alto rapporto C/N, limitata presenza di fattori nutrizionali e presenza di CO2. L’assenza di ossigeno riduce le possibilità di crescita ai lieviti e tra questi il Saccharomyces cerevisiae è la specie più comunemente coinvolta in casi di degradazione di bevande industriali. L'industria delle bevande può utilizzare diverse strategie per garantire la stabilità microbica e, ad oggi, i trattamenti termici risultano i più impiegati. Questi trattamenti però sono spesso sovrastimati nei tempi e nelle temperature, poiché si applicano modelli obsoleti che comportano pesanti ricadute sulla qualità del prodotto e sui costi energetici. Questo lavoro di tesi studia la cinetica di morte termica di ceppi appartenenti alla specie S. cerevisiae e ad altre specie isolate da succhi e bevande. In particolare, i ceppi di lievito sono stati testati per la loro resistenza termica in succhi non carbonati e dai risultati sono state evidenziate cinetiche di abbattimento termico non lineari, ben descrivibili attraverso il modello di Weibull. Il ceppo più termoresistente si è rivelato S. cereviasiae SPA, il cui comportamento è stato studiato in succo in relazione all’inoculo, alla temperatura e alla durata del trattamento. I dati di crescita/morte sono stati elaborati con il modello logit per predire la probabilità di crescita in relazione alle variabili considerate nel piano sperimentale. Nonostante la sua elevata termoresistenza, il ceppo SPA si è dimostrato sensibile alle temperature e ai tempi comunemente usati nel risanamento delle bevande. Il lavoro svolto in questa tesi dimostra quindi che esistono numerosi margini di miglioramento nelle conoscenze tecnologiche che permettono di governare in maniera ottimale i trattamenti termici industriali e apre a possibilità di una effettiva riduzione dei trattamenti termici per prodotti come soft-drinks.

This work has as general objective identifying rivalry characteristics among the main firms of the brazilian soft drinks market, those firms are Coca-Cola Co, AmBev â American Beverages and âtubaÃnasâ, products that make the competitive fringe of this industry. Therefore, this research points out the market competitive features through a historical analysis of the period from 1991 to 2009, it also exposes a short literature revision about Fusion and Acquisition concepts, and it shows and uses PCAIDS (Proportionately Calibrated Almost Ideal Demand System) model as a tool of fusion simulation between firms, facing an concentration act assumption. This research suggests that âtubaÃnasâ seems to be closer substitutes to Coca-Cola Co brands, than to AmBev products, pointing out a greater rivalry with the first firm than with the second one.

Abstract:
Background: Decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) increases the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis. It is common in older women, as the BMD tends to decrease with age, particularly after menopause. While age and hormonal changes are well-established risk factors, other factors have been investigated for possible links to increase the risk of osteoporosis. These factors include dietary patterns and lifestyle. Aim: To explore the association between soft drink consumption and BMD. Method: This cross-sectional study included data from 1000 Qatari women age ≥ 40 year’s participated in the Qatar Biobank Study. BMD levels were measured using the Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan and the soft drink consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaires. Multiple quantile regression models were used to assess the association between bone mineral density and soft drink consumption. Results: While most of the participants did not drink soft drinks (68%), around one third reported consuming soft drinks. A total of 16.4% of participants reported consuming soft drinks < 1 time/ week and 15.6% of participants reported consuming soft drinks ≥ 1 time/ week. There was an inverse association between BMD and soft drink consumption. Compared with non-consumers, ≥ 1 time/week consumption of soft drink had a -0.034 95%CI (-0.056, -0.012) at 0.25 quantile for BMD after adjusting for age, BMI, menopausal status, smoking status, physical activities, milk intake, and fruit and vegetable consumption. Also, BMD was negatively associated with regular soft drinks, but not with diet soft drink and energy drink. Conclusion: High consumption of soft drink is inversely related to BMD among Qatari women. Further longitudinal and clinical studies are required before developing public health intervention to improve bone health by reducing soft drink consumption.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of some sweeteners adding on sensorial characteristics (appearance, consistency, colour, smell and taste), and some physico-chemical indicators (acidity, total soluble solids, total polyphenols content and antioxidant activity) of the chamomile soft drinks. The parameters were evaluated at 7 and 14 days respectively. These fermented soft drinks were obtained from chamomile flowers, bran, lemon juice and four types of sweeteners: white sugar, brown sugar, bee honey and Stevia rebaudiana dried leaves. The sensorial evaluation was by hedonic scale from 1-5 points. From sensory point of view, the version with bee honey was the best appreciated (average 4.42 points) by evaluators, followed by the one with brown sugar. Acidity was determined by titration with NaOH 0.1 n, the lowest value of acidity being recorded in the version with Stevia rebaudiana (7.5 ? 0.71 acidity degrees). The total soluble solids content was determined by the refractometric method, and the highest content was recorded in the version with white sugar (44.26 ? 3.65 Brix degrees). The antioxidant activity of the chamomile drink samples was evaluated using the CUPRAC spectrophotometric method, and the total polyphenols content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results of our study show that the best antioxidant activity (470.18 ? 0.8 mg Trolox/l) and the highest polyphenols contents (1.245? 2.57 ?mol gallic acid/ml) were registered in the variants with honey as sweeteners.

Abstract:
The increasing consumption of industrially processed convenience foods, soft drinks, and fast foods has been associated with a rise in non-communicable diseases, overweight and obesity. This building block explores the concept of ultra-processed food: how it has been defined, and differing views as to whether it is a useful way of thinking about food and its relation to health and wider sustainability concerns.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper we evaluate the taxation of sugar-sweetened and edulcorated beverages by using the natural quasi-experiment in Spain: in 2021 an increase in Value Added Tax was introduced in all regions of Spain except for some of them, which do not have VAT. These regions serve as a control group offering a unique opportunity in the literature for two reasons, the guarantee of avoiding cross-border consumer movements due to their geographical location and the opportunity to have a household consumption database with a rich set of characteristics. We find a pass-through of the tax to prices of over 95\% and a fall in soft drink consumption of 15\% among the poorest tertile of households, especially among those with children aged 5-16. In addition, we find a significant reduction in spending on unhealthy complementary goods among the same households in the first tertile. However, the remaining households did not react to the tax by reducing either their consumption of soft drinks or their consumption of complementary goods. Our results show the importance of considering the structure and economic capacity of the household, as well as the response of the consumption of complementary goods, when assessing the effect of this type of tax on consumption.

Full text
Abstract:
Historically, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have typically been associated with tobacco and alcohol use. However, in recent decades increased levels of overweightness and obesity, mostly caused by poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, have increased diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. There is a general agreement that sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) are bad for one’s health. As such, measures to reduce their consumption would be expected to positively impact population health. In this working paper, we develop and report on an Excel-based model, in which we simulate the impact of an SSB tax on the prevalence of overweightness and obesity. The model starts with a baseline scenario, which takes cognisance that a 10 KES specific tax already exists on all soft drinks. A sugar-based SSB tax is then introduced. The tax is levied as an amount per gram of sugar, with or without a tax-free threshold. Other than reducing the demand for SSBs, a sugar-based SSB also creates strong incentives for manufacturers to reformulate their products to reduce the sugar content. The model predicts that the average BMI would decrease across all age groups decreasing the prevalence of overweightness and obesity. The magnitude of the decrease in the prevalence of overweightness and obesity depends on the size of the SSB tax. For realistic and politically feasible values of the SSB tax, the prevalence of overweightness and obesity is expected to decrease by between 5 per cent and 10 per cent. Should Kenya implement a sugar-based tax on SSBs, over and above the current excise tax on soft drinks, the government should clarify that such a tax aims to enhance public health; raising additional revenue should be a secondary consideration. Also, implementing a sugar based SSB tax should be part of a more comprehensive strategy to reduce overweightness and obesity, because by itself the impact of the tax is modest.
