ABSTRACT

Introduction: One of the risk factors for obesity is the consumption of sugar in beverages, particularly in soft drinks. This consumption is associated with overweight and increases the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate neurocognitive associations with soda consumption. A total of 100 persons participated in the study, 33% men and 67% women, aged 17 to 68 years (mean 29.75, SD = 12.19), inhabitants of The Mexico City, the State of Mexico and Queretaro. The natural semantic networks technique was used to obtain neurocognitive associations of soda consumption.
Results: In all, 38% reported consumption of soda flavor, 36% cola beverages and 12% of low-calories beverages. A total of 955 words constitute the size of the total network Positive definers for soft drinks were “refreshing”, “flavor”, “sweet”, “thirst quencher” and “cold”. Negative definers were “sweet”, “harmful”, “obesity”, “diabetes” and “costly”. Network of associated words refers to “party”, “color”, “water”, “money” and consumption. Finally, the neutral words expressed are “car”, “book”, “chair”, “dog” and “table”.
Conclusion: The association with soft drinks consumption is characterized by a combination of different thoughts, feelings, situations and contexts present during consumption of this type of sweetened drink. By having this network into account it will be possible, on one hand, to develop psychometric instruments and neuropsychological tasks from relevant stimuli that elicit the consumption of soft drinks, and on the other hand, it will be possible to recognize the need to implement neurocognitive intervention programs to reduce this consumption.
