Early Exposure to Dietary Sugar and Salt

Dietary salt intake, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and obesity risk.

OBJECTIVE To determine the association among dietary salt, fluid, and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and weight status in a nationally representative sample of Australian children aged 2 to 16 years. METHODS Cross-sectional data from the 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Consumption of dietary salt, fluid, and SSB was determined via two 24...

Salt-inducible kinases mediate nutrient-sensing to link dietary sugar and tumorigenesis in Drosophila

Cancer cells demand excessive nutrients to support their proliferation but how cancer cells sense and promote growth in the nutrient favorable conditions remain incompletely understood. Epidemiological studies have indicated that obesity is a risk factor for various types of cancers. Feeding Drosophila a high dietary sugar was previously demonstrated to not only direct metabolic defects includi...

Salt and sugar: Bad company

This report shed light to unrecognized mechanism for the hyperglycemia-induced sodium retention. The activation of PPAR?, elevation of serum adiponectin, and subsequent inhibition of SGLT2 may lead to natriuresis and glycosuria and it may be beneficial in hypertensive diabetic patients.
