AbstractA high sugar intake is increasingly discussed to affect health. Preceding analyses based on dietary records, collected between 1985–2016, suggest a decreasing time trend in total [TS], added [AS] and free [FS] sugar intake (calculated as % of energy intake [%E]) since 2005 - most notably from 2010 onwards - among children and adolescents in Germany. While TS [%E] intake decreased with age, the youngest children had the lowest AS [%E] intake and the oldest children had the lowest FS [%E] intake, with minor differences in the other age groups. However, self-reported data is likely introducing bias due to selective underreporting, especially of sugar-rich foods, which can distort results. Therefore, we analysed time and age trends in dietary sugar intake using urinary biomarkers.Urinary fructose excretion (FE), sucrose excretion (SE) and the sum of both (FE + SE) as predictive biomarkers for sugar intake was measured by UPLC-MS/MS in 997 24-h urine samples from the DONALD (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed) study cohort collected from 8.5–16.5-year-olds (239 boys, 253 girls) between 1990–2016. Time and age trends of log-transformed FE, SE and FE + SE were analyzed using polynomial mixed-effects regression models. Sex, creatinine and urea excretion, urine volume, total daily energy intake, overweight status, type of weekday, maternal overweight and educational status as well as maternal employment were considered as potentially confounding factors.The mean (± SD) FE was 26.1 ± 20.9 mg/d, SE 33.4 ± 38.3 mg/d, and FE + SE 59.6 ± 49.1 mg/d. While FE increased significantly with age (linear trend: p = 0.0147), there were no significant age trends for SE and FE + SE in adjusted models. Between 1990–2016 FE as well as FE + SE decreased significantly (linear trend: p = 0.0280 and p < 0.0001, respectively). SE showed a tendency towards a negative quadratic time trend (p = 0.0574).The decreasing time trend of urinary sugar excretion supports our previous observed time trends in dietary sugar intake based on dietary records among children and adolescents. In contrast, the observed age trend in dietary sugar was not confirmed by the biomarker trend analysis, suggesting increasing underreporting with age during adolescence. Although predictive biomarkers do not allow conclusions on the amount of the respective dietary intake, the combination of biomarker and dietary record data points towards the need of further public health measures to support the observed decline in sugar intake among children and adolescents in Germany.The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

Plasma Malondialdehyde

This study aimed to elucidate the determinants of higher plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) in free-living adults. In a cross-sectional study we evaluated 148 free-living subjects (54 ± 11 years, 78% women) at high risk for or with metabolic syndrome (MetS). They were assessed by anthropometry and body composition, dietary intake, and clinical and laboratorial analysis. The analysis of plasma MDA was performed by HPLC, and concentration values were used to provide four groups according to percentile distribution. Subjects with higher plasma MDA showed higher prevalence of MetS and higher values of waist circumference (WC), glucose, triglycerides (TG),γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT), and higher energy intake. Multiadjusted logistic regression analysis identified as determinants of higher plasma MDA the altered values of WC andγ-GT followed by hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, higher dietary sugar-intake, and presence of MetS. In conclusion, the glucolipotoxic state predisposed by the presence of MetS seems to be the major determinant of higher plasma MDA concentrations.

Sugar intake has been associated with increased prevalence of childhood overweight/obesity; however, results remain controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the probability of overweight/obesity with higher sugar intakes, accounting for other dietary intakes. Data from 1165 children and adolescents aged ≥2–18 years (66.8% males) enrolled in the Hellenic National Nutrition and Health Survey (HNNHS) were used; specifically, 781 children aged 2–11 years and 384 adolescents 12–18 years. Total and added sugar intake were assessed using two 24 h recalls (24 hR). Foods were categorized into specific food groups to evaluate the main foods contributing to intakes. A significant proportion of children (18.7%) and adolescents (24.5%) exceeded the recommended cut-off of 10% of total energy intake from added sugars. Sweets (29.8%) and processed/refined grains and cereals (19.1%) were the main sources of added sugars in both age groups, while in adolescents, the third main contributor was sugar-sweetened beverages (20.6%). Being overweight or obese was 2.57 (p = 0.002) and 1.77 (p = 0.047) times more likely for intakes ≥10% of total energy from added sugars compared to less <10%, when accounting for food groups and macronutrient intakes, respectively. The predicted probability of becoming obese was also significant with higher total and added-sugar consumption. We conclude that high consumption of added sugars increased the probability for overweight/obesity among youth, irrespectively of other dietary or macronutrient intakes.

Metabolic Endotoxemia

The so-called Western diet is rich in saturated fat and sugars and poor in plant-derived fibers, and it is associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, as well as chronic (low grade) inflammation. The detrimental effects of poor diet are in part mediated by gut microbiota, whose composition, functionality and metabolic end products respond to dietary changes. Recent studies have shown that high intake of sugars increase the relative abundance of Proteobacteria in the gut, while simultaneously decreasing the abundance of Bacteroidetes, which can mitigate the effects of endotoxin, as well as reinforce gut barrier function. Thus, a high sugar intake may stagger the balance of microbiota to have increased pro-inflammatory properties and decreased the capacity to regulate epithelial integrity and mucosal immunity. Consequently, high dietary sugar can, through the modulation of microbiota, promote metabolic endotoxemia, systemic (low grade) inflammation and the development of metabolic dysregulation and thereby, high dietary sugar may have many-fold deleterious health effects, in addition to providing excess energy.
