Craving Control: Managing Sugar Sweetener Consumption for Healthier Living
Sugar-sweetened foods and beverages have become pervasive in modern diets, contributing significantly to various health concerns.       The widespread consumption of these products has been linked.           to obesity,      type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular.        diseases, and dental issues. Despite growing awareness.     of their  adverse effects, sugar-sweetened items remain popular due to .      their.       palatability and widespread availability.

Frequently drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney diseases, non-alcoholic liver disease, tooth decay and cavities, and gout, a type of arthritis.1-4 Limiting sugary drink intake can help individuals maintain a healthy weight and have healthy dietary patterns.

  • Sugar-sweetened beverages are any liquids that are sweetened with various forms of added sugars like brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, lactose, malt syrup, maltose, molasses, raw sugar, and sucrose.5
  • Examples of SSBs include, but are not limited to, regular soda (not sugar-free), fruit drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened waters, and coffee and tea beverages with added sugars.

Prevalence of self-reported intake of SSBs at least once daily among US adults, 2010 and 2015.

Age Group:

 44.5 - < 52.48   ,                52.48-60.45,                  

60.45 - < 68.43,                     68.43 - 76.4


Ultimately, tackling the prevalence of sugar-sweetened foods and beverages requires a multifaceted approach involving collaboration between governments, healthcare professionals, educators, and food industry stakeholders. By addressing both individual behaviors and systemic influences, society can work towards reducing the consumption of these products and improving overall public health.
