Research Question:
Different prospective studies were done to the relationship between drinking fruit juice and the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. However, the results are not clear-cut and that is why it was carried out this review article.
Drinking fruit juice increases the chances of getting diabetes type 2?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 4 prospective studies (12375 participants with 191686 people with diabetes type 2) that show the relationship between suikergezoete fruit juice and diabetes type 2 and 4 prospective studies (4906 137663 participants and people with diabetes type 2) that show the relationship between 100% fruit juice and diabetes type 2.
The follow-up duration ranged between 5.7 and 25 years.
There was no question of publication bias (p = 0.71 for Begg's test and p = 0.77 for Egger test).
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a high intake of fruit juice (suikergezoet and 100% juice) the chance of getting type 2 diabetes significantly with 14% [RR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.03-1.27 p = 0.01, I2 = 43.5%, p = 0.09] increased. Significant because RR of 1 was not in the 95% CI 1.03 to 1.27.
The researchers found in the subgroup analyses that a high intake of fruit juice suikergezoete the chances of getting type 2 diabetes significantly with 28% [RR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.04-1.59, p = 0.02, I2 = 43.3%, p = 0.184] increased. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability.
The researchers found in the subgroup analyses that a high intake of 100% fruit juice the chance of getting diabetes type 2 non-significant with 3% [RR = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.18-0.91, p = 0.62, I2 = 6.2%, p = 0.488] increased. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers concluded that only a high intake of fruit juice suikergezoete the chances of getting diabetes type 2 increased.
