This trial is evaluating whether iSIPsmarter will improve 1 primary outcome and 4 secondary outcomes in patients with Sugar-Sweetened Beverages. Measurement will happen over the course of Baseline, 9-weeks (immediate-post follow-up).
This trial requires 244 total participants across 2 different treatment groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. ISIPsmarter is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. There is no placebo group. The treatments being tested are not being studied for commercial purposes.
"A better understanding of the role of SSB in fostering obesity-related chronic diseases should help identify and explore new therapeutic strategies for alleviating SSB-induced toxicity as a part of obesity prevention." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In a recent study, findings from a survey of US students suggest that individuals are reluctant to change the behavior that they rely on to avoid sugar consumption. A substantial decline in the consumption of SSBs occurs around the time that these students are beginning their collegiate careers." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"More than one-third of the American population consumes one or more foods or beverages containing added sugars. In 1997, a quarter of the U.S. population consumed at least one added sugar product on an average day. Sugar-sweetened beverages are the predominant source of added sugars in the US population. At least four-fifths of the total sugar intake among individuals 6 years of age and older derives from added sugars (including added sugars that were not measured in the current assessment), and a similar proportion of individuals 6 years and older has a healthy weight (BMI<25.0)." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The observed associations between SSB and weight loss should be interpreted cautiously given the potential for residual confounding. In conclusion, neither drinking a greater quantity of SSB annually nor drinking a sugary beverage on a daily basis is sufficient to cause weight loss per se. Instead, it appears that the metabolic characteristics of the individual drinking an unhealthy diet are the most important determinants of weight loss." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Overall, beverages appear to be the most common treatment for certain conditions. Although it has not been established as of yet whether this is due to coerced or true preference. Efforts to inform the public, especially children, must be made to help people resist the temptation to drink these beverages." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"These products are associated with obesity and may be a sign of high BMI in children and adolescents, especially in men. Sugar-sweetened beverages are a potential hazard in the diet of some children." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There was a significant decrease in blood glucose levels following consumption of SSB in the morning and afternoon. Results suggest that SSBs may have a beneficial effect on the management of Type 1 diabetes, particularly in individuals with Type 1 diabetes for whom carbohydrate metabolism is problematic." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This small study suggests that the side effect profile is very similar to that of propane. Findings from a recent study provides a compelling rationale for future studies in this area based on a clear understanding of the side effects of propane-based products, which will ultimately benefit patients and permit more effective, efficient medical care." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Among individuals with sugar-sweetened beverages in their diet, health care providers can be counselled to recommend drinking > 7 fl oz/d to decrease SSB consumption; this will enhance the chance of improving quality of life, decrease health care expenditures and hopefully help decrease alcohol-related morbidity and mortality." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In comparison to the isopmarter test, the isipsmarter is only one tenth of the price and does not have equal accuracy. However, some clinical studies that use the isipsmarter test as a screening or screening-to-referor use it because it does not require the patient to have an appointment with a physician to do it, and the majority of patients did not know how the test would be used so they did not expect the test result to affect what treatment they received or get." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome were more prevalent in subjects with a paternal history of SSS. The associations between these variables and sugar-sweetened beverages were more pronounced among men or among subjects with one or more maternal characteristics that increase their risk factors. This information may be useful for health professionals in developing clinical guidelines to improve diabetes and obesity control in subjects who drink sugar-sweetened beverages." - Anonymous Online Contributor
