Overview

Randomized trial examines the effects of carbonated water on snacking and health indices in healthy adults, suggesting potential benefits.

Key Points

  • This trial investigates whether daily carbonated water consumption influences snacking behavior, alcohol intake, and health indices.
  • Randomized, placebo-controlled trial with 46 healthy Japanese adults.
  • Participants consumed either carbonated water or non-carbonated water daily for 12 weeks.
  • Changes in snacking frequency, alcohol intake, anthropometric measurements, and blood biochemical parameters were measured.
  • Carbonated water group experienced a significant reduction in snacking frequency at week 4 (-1.39 times/week; P=0.018) and week 12 (-1.49 times/week; P=0.049).
  • Alcohol intake was reduced by 24.44 g/week in the carbonated water group at week 12 (P=0.019).
  • Significant decreases in body weight (-0.72 kg; P=0.036) and BMI (-0.26 kg/m²; P=0.037) observed at week 12.
