Sugar-sweetened beverages are drinks that contain added sugars, which enhance their sweetness. Common examples include sodas, fruit drinks, energy drinks, and sweetened teas. These beverages often have high calorie content but provide little to no nutritional value, making them a popular choice for many consumers. Consuming too many sugar-sweetened beverages can lead to health issues such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental problems. Health organizations recommend limiting intake of these drinks to promote better overall health. Alternatives like water, unsweetened tea, or flavored water can be healthier choices for hydration.
