On the other hand, intake of juice in-between main meals (e.g., snacking behavior) may prevent the drop in insulin between meals and thus may inhibit effective lipid oxidation. Intake of sugar-containing drinks with or in-between meals may differently affect metabolic regulation, because postprandial glycemia is lowered especially by protein content of the diet, which is due to slower gastric emptying and enhanced insulin response 19. Both effects, remain however insufficiently substantiated by scientific evidence and thus are highly controversial (for review see 17, 18). The rapid decline in blood glucose levels caused by postprandial hyperinsulinemia is also believed to increase appetite and thus subsequent energy intake 16. The second proposed mechanism is known as the “carbohydrate-insulin theory of obesity” and is based on the high glycemic index of sugar-containing drinks, leading to postprandial hyperinsulinemia and thus promoting fat storage and inhibiting fat oxidation 15, 16. In line with this finding, in contrast to whole fruits, consumption of fruit juices has been shown to promote long term weight gain 14. Fruit juice contains very little or no fiber, and has been shown to be less satiating than whole fruits 13. These findings were explained by a low satiety value of beverages (for review see 12). This is also true for observational studies where the energy consumed from caloric beverages was not compensated by reducing solid food intake 10, 11. First, it has been shown that the consumption of energy-dense beverages does not lead to a lower food intake in an acute meal setting, thus leading to a higher total energy intake 6, 7, 8, 9. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between consumption of sugar-containing beverages and weight gain. Consequently, the effect of orange juice consumption with meals versus in-between meal ingestion should be investigated regarding the effect of energy balance and metabolic risk. Whereas orange juice has long been an integral part of a traditional (continental and American) breakfast, soft drinks are usually consumed to satisfy one’s thirst. Fruit juices contain important nutrients (i.e., vitamin C, potassium, folate, magnesium, and ß-carotene 4) and flavonoids, and are an important contributor to total fruit intake 5. Since 100% fruit juice has a comparable sugar-content to sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), the consumption of fruit juice may also be associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes 3. Increased consumption of fruit juice was indeed associated with 4-year weight gain similar to increased intake of fruit punch 2. In young healthy adults, a conventional 3-meal structure with orange juice consumed together with meals had a favorable impact on energy balance, whereas juice consumption in-between meals may contribute to a gain in body fat and adverse metabolic effects.Ī high intake of sugar-containing beverages is associated with overweight and obesity 1 and is therefore suspected to promote weight gain. Body fat mass was measured by air-displacement plethysmography. Basal and postprandial insulin sensitivity (primary outcome), daylong glycaemia, glucose variability and insulin secretion were assessed. Twenty-six healthy adults (24.7 ± 3.2 y BMI 23.2 ± 3.2 kg/m 2) participated in a 4-week cross-over intervention and consumed orange juice (20% of energy requirement) either together with 3 meals/d (WM) or in-between 3 meals/d (BM) at ad libitum energy intake. We aimed to investigate if intake of orange juice with or in-between meals differently affects energy balance or metabolic risk. Now yes, Technically, the Stuff in the canister is "Sunflower" brand, and the Tea bags are "Sprouting" brand, but they are both branded by the same Tea Import/Export company in China.Sugar-containing beverages like orange juice can be a risk factor for obesity and type 2 diabetes although the underlying mechanisms are less clear. I Still have a partial canister, but found the same brand in tea bag form at another short lived Asian grocery, and after they closed, on Amazon. Mom used to get This Stuff in canisters, loose leaf from a Chinese grocers here in town when i was a kid(they have long since closed) The other main tea I get(and lately drink more of than the tetley's) is Jasmine Tea (Green Tea, with Jasmine Flowers) that's what i had grown up drinking, but at some point branched out.Īt first went with Twinnings, back and forth between their English breakfast, and Darjeeling, then one day i paid attention at work (I'm a cashier at a grocery) and noticed all the Indians(and I mean Indians, from India, not Native Americans) were buying Tetley's "British Blend" bought a box, and it's been the go to for me since.(brewed for 5 minutes, cream and 2 sugars)
