Replace Sugar-Sweetened Beverages With Water
- Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are drinks that contain added sugars. These include sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened waters, and sweetened coffees or teas.
- Consuming SSBs puts individuals at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, cavities, and gout.
- Choosing water over SSBs can reduce these risks and help individuals maintain a healthy weight and diet.
