Abstract.
Importance : Epidemiologic studies have suggested that higher intake of added sugar is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Few prospective studies have examined the association of added sugar intake with CVD mortality.

Objective : To examine time trends of added sugar consumption as percentage of daily calories in the United States and investigate the association of this consumption with CVD mortality.

Design, Setting, and Participants : National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 1988-1994 [III], 1999-2004, and 2005-2010 [n = 31 147]) for the time trend analysis and NHANES III Linked Mortality cohort (1988-2006 [n = 11 733]), a prospective cohort of a nationally representative sample of US adults for the association study.

Main Outcomes and Measures: Cardiovascular disease mortality.

Results Among US adults, the adjusted mean percentage of daily calories from added sugar increased from 15.7% (95% CI, 15.0%-16.4%) in 1988-1994 to 16.8% (16.0%-17.7%; P = .02) in 1999-2004 and decreased to 14.9% (14.2%-15.5%; P < .001) in 2005-2010. Most adults consumed 10% or more of calories from added sugar (71.4%) and approximately 10% consumed 25% or more in 2005-2010. During a median follow-up period of 14.6 years, we documented 831 CVD deaths during 163 039 person-years. Age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity–adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of CVD mortality across quintiles of the percentage of daily calories consumed from added sugar were 1.00 (reference), 1.09 (95% CI, 1.05-1.13), 1.23 (1.12-1.34), 1.49 (1.24-1.78), and 2.43 (1.63-3.62; P < .001), respectively. After additional adjustment for sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics, HRs were 1.00 (reference), 1.07 (1.02-1.12), 1.18 (1.06-1.31), 1.38 (1.11-1.70), and 2.03 (1.26-3.27; P = .004), respectively.

Adjusted HRs were 1.30 (95% CI, 1.09-1.55) and 2.75 (1.40-5.42; P = .004), respectively, comparing participants who consumed 10.0% to 24.9% or 25.0% or more calories from added sugar with those who consumed less than 10.0% of calories from added sugar. These findings were largely consistent across age group, sex, race/ethnicity (except among non-Hispanic blacks), educational attainment, physical activity, health eating index, and body mass index.

Conclusions and Relevance : Most US adults consume more added sugar than is recommended for a healthy diet. We observed a significant relationship between added sugar consumption and increased risk for CVD mortality.

It's been many years since I stopped taking regular sugar. What about sucralose or aspartame?

Tuushi--- I don't think it applies to everyone. If u watch your weight and always slim and eat in moderation, u can intake ALL the sugar u want. The problems of cardiovascular is for the obese like u.

that's one risk factor (being obese) but the other risk factors of CVD are: smoking, high blood pressure, lack of any physical activity, diabetes mellitus, High LDH cholesterol levels e.t.c .

The sugar is clouding ur comprehension level macaanto buuran.It doesnt matter,extra sugar=higher risk of heart diseases.Enjoy the triple bypass baby.

Farhan.Somalida are some of the worst abusers.They drink sugar solution pretending to be shaah.

But the American Heart Association is much more conservative, recommending that added sugars should be limited to 100 calories per day for women and 150 per day for men

you cant. You can eat a moderate amount of complex sugars.

but simple sugars are bad for you and can cause diabetes. its a long story and im not bothered to type about the human body. search it yourself.

How do you know a lot about sugar? You're supposed to know only about school, bullying, girls, teenage life, etc.

i read an article. it said that complex sugars are large molecules (and natural), so the bloodstream's sugar levels increase at a steady rate , because it takes some time to break them down.
but simple sugars that are in crisps, chocolates, and sugary stuff are sugars that arent natural and have mostly been made. they are small molecules so the body doesnt need to break them down. they go into the bloodstream at a very quick rate, so you feel energetic quite quickly. but the body makes insulin to reduce the sugar content, but too much insulin is made. so excess sugar is removed, but since theres too much insulin, so even the sugar you need is removed. You then feel tired and light-headed and you want sugar again. then the cycle starts again
