Introduction: An association between consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) and metabolic diseases has been observed. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze randomized clinical trials (RCT) of 18 or more weeks of intervention among > 13 year old individuals, which examined the consumption of SSB on adiposity indicators. Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted in the PubMed database of RCT studies published up to April 10^th, 2013. Term used for this search was "Sugar Sweetened Beverages". Results: Four studies were found. In one of the studies, after the reduction of SSB consumption, a small reduction of BMI was observed (p = 0.045). Another study showed that the reduction of 355 ml/day was associated with a weight loss of 0.7 kg (95% CI: 0.2-1.1, p = 0.01). In a different study, in the group consuming regular Coke, an increase in the visceral: abdominal subcutaneous fat ratio, was observed (p = 0.01). In another study, there were no differences on adiposity between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: The results of this review indicate a trend toward an effect of the consumption of SSB on adiposity.
