Effects of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages on Glycemic and Insulinemic Outcomes: A Randomized Control Trial
Reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is associated with improved metabolic health in adults, but there is limited experimental research examining the consequences of adding SSBs to the diet, particularly in healthy individuals. The aim of the current study was to determine whether there were differences in glycemic and insulinemic outcomes following three weeks of added caffeine-free soda, 100% fruit juice, or water in healthy young adults. College-aged participants (21.2Ā±2.8yrs; n=36) were randomized to one of three beverage conditions: water (W), caffeine-free soda (S), or 100% fruit juice (FJ). Participants completed baseline anthropometric measurements, and fasting and SSB-tolerance glycemic and insulinemic assessments (via fingerstick and venous blood samples). Participants consumed two servings/day (~710 mL) of their assigned beverage for three weeks. Baseline assessments were repeated following the 3-week intervention. There were no significant effects of time or beverage condition for glucose (incremental area-under-the-curve) (MĀ±SD; Baseline: W:1367Ā±1022, S:1804Ā±1192, FJ:1588Ā±1144 mg/dL x 2hr; 3-weeks: W:1166Ā±1128, S:1800Ā±1256, FJ:1151Ā±795 mg/dL x 2hr; ps\u3e0.05) and insulin (incremental area-under-the-curve) (MĀ±SD; Baseline: W:1602Ā±910, S:2022Ā±1065, FJ:1863Ā±993 mg/dL x 2hr; 3-weeks: W:1369Ā±655, S:1658Ā±1036, FJ:1875Ā±691 mg/dL x 2hr; ps\u3e0.05). Following the 3-week intervention, changes in fasting glucose (p=0.88), fasting insulin (p=0.97), and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (p=0.96) were not significantly different between beverage conditions. These results suggest that in healthy young adults, under free-living conditions, the addition of SSBs to the diet for three weeks does not modify glycemic or insulinemic outcomes. Longer-term trials and studies that include participants with increased metabolic risk are needed to further elucidate glycemic and insulinemic responses following the addition of SSBs to the diet

1995: The President\u27s Dinner for Faculty and Staff
We are pleased to welcome each of you to the 1995 Presidentās Dinner for Faculty and Staff. This evening gives us the opportunity to meet the new members of the Olivet Family and to record the accomplishments and milestones of our colleagues.
In keeping with the centennial celebration of the beginning of the Church of the Nazarene, this year has been designated as āThe Year of the Churchā at Olivet. This will give us the opportunity to take special note of this vital part of our heritage and continuing mission. Our relationship to the church is a defining characteristic of who we are and what we do.
May the blessings of the Lord rest upon us all this evening and throughout our work together this year.

2016: The President\u27s Dinner for Faculty and Staff
One of the long-standing traditions at Olivet is this annual Presidentās Dinner for Faculty and Staff. It is a gathering of the family and an occasion to formally mark the beginning of a new academic year. This evening also underscores the breadth and depth of the Olivet faculty and staff. Some are here for the first time while others have been part of the University for decades. We have different gifts, experiences and expertise, but we are united by our mission to provide āEducation with a Christian Purpose.ā
I encourage you to take a few moments to review the dinner program booklet. This provides an overview of many of the accomplishments of your faculty and staff colleagues: degrees earned, books written, presentations made, articles published, service rendered and much more!
We will recognize individuals for milestone years of service and welcome new members of our faculty and staff. We hope you have a wonderful evening and a great year.
