Abstract
Chapter 19 reviews the evidence that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is harmful to health. Based on an impressive body of evidence, it is now clear that these beverages play a role in obesity and in several chronic diseases of lifestyle including type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. A consensus has developed among those with expertise in nutrition that consumption of SSBs, as well as of other sources of added sugar, should be reduced. Alas, there are major barriers blocking the achievement of that goal. One barrier is that SSBs are heavily marketed.
