Acute Consumption of a Caffeinated Soft Drink Sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup Does Not Modify the Cutaneous Microvascular Response to Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Together with the increasing health awareness levels of consumers’, artificial food additives have been highly criticized by the public. However, these kinds of sweeteners are still being used widely all over the world. One of the sectors that prefer mostly these kinds of sweeteners is the soft drink industry. High fructose corn syrup, which has been associated with serious health problems recently, is one of these additives which is highly preferred in the soft drink industry. Upon examining the situation, it is understood that there is a conflict between the implementations of the soft drink industry and consumer attitudes towards them. However, it is seen that the consumers’ perspective is not clarified enough empirically in terms of this issue. This means that the players of the soft drink industry have a lack of insight in terms of consumer thoughts and attitudes regarding artificial sweetener usage in soft drinks. Owing to this research gap in the literature and the importance of the subject in terms of consumer well-being, this study aims to explore the antecedents for the acceptance of high fructose corn syrup usage in soft drinks. To reach this aim, four research questions represented to understand how frequent consumers prefer soft drinks containing high fructose corn syrup, to reveal consumers’ attitudes and acceptance towards high fructose corn syrup and to understand how nutritional knowledge and nutritional information interest affect consumers’ acceptance specifically on high fructose corn syrup usage in soft drinks. To answer these questions, a structured survey was developed and conducted on 888 soft drink consumers who are aware of high fructose corn syrup in soft drinks as an additive

Diabetes Melitus

Peningkatan konsumsi minuman kemasan (soft drink/beverages) tampak nyata di dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Peningkatan ini terutama terjadi di kelompok usia muda. Konsumsi soft drink/beverages ini berkaitan dengan gangguan metabolik, antara lain obesitas, toleransi glukosa terganggu (TGT) dan diabetes melitus. Hal ini disebabkan penggunaan pemanis tinggi fruktosa (high fructose corn syrup, HFCS). TGT terutama menjadi masalah kesehatan yang cukup serius karena umumnya tidak menunjukkan gejala dan terlambat untuk dideteksi sehingga sering kali telah berprogresi menjadi diabetes mellitus. Terdapat banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya TGT dengan faktor lingkungan menjadi faktor yang lebih dominan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan desain potong lintang yang menggunakan data riset kesehatan dasar (RISKESDAS 2007). Analisis data dimulai dari univariat, bivariat dan dilanjutkan dengan multivariat. Ditemukan bahwa prevalensi TGT pada kelompok usia muda di Indonesia adalah 5,7% dan prevelensi pengkonsumsi fruktosa tinggi sebesar 20,5%. Kontribusi konsumsi fruktosa tinggi terhadap kejadian TGT usia muda adalah 24,3%. Secara umum, prevalensi TGT pada usia muda di Indonesia cukup tinggi (melebihi 50% prevalensi di semua umur), dan konsumsi fruktosa memiliki kontribusi yang signifikan dalam terjadinya TGT.Kata kunci: konsumsi fruktosa, indeks fruktosa, TGT
