Mexican adults consume extensive levels of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB). This randomized clinical trial examined the effect of substituting water with SSB's on cardio metabolic indicators over 9 m in overweight Mexican women. Conducted in Cuernavaca, Mexico from April 2009 – October 2011. Overweight and obese (BMI ≥ 25 and <39), 18–45 y women with self‐reported high intake of SSB (≥ 250 kcal/day) were randomly allocated to the water and education provision (WEP) (n=120) or Education provision only (EP) (n=120) group. Biweekly water deliveries and monthly education were provided. Repeated 24‐hour recalls, anthropometry and fasting blood were collected at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months. Results Women in both groups lost weight, without being different among groups (p= 0.5). WEP women increased their water intake compared to EP women but over reported dietary reductions significantly more than EP women. Triglyceride levels decreased in the WEP, however this reduction did not differ among groups (p=0.2). This clinical trial water intervention did not result in a significant improvement in triglyceride levels, weight nor any other cardio metabolic risk factor. Our findings do not lead to conclude that SSB replacement with water does not support reduction of metabolic syndrome risk factors but rather that intervention provided was ineffective in reducing other sugary beverage intake
