Adults who Drink Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percentage of adults ages 18 years and older who consumed soda or sugar sweetened beverages at least one time a day.
Why is this important?
Non-diet sodas or sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) have large amounts of added sugar, lack nutritional value, and are great calorie contributors in diets. The consumption of sugary drinks is associated with weight gain and obesity. Reducing SSB consumption can result in a decrease in weight and is an important element of obesity prevention. The Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommend limiting daily consumption of the added sugars found in all sweetened beverages, including fruit juices, to no more than 10 percent of calories per day.
