The Bitter Truth about Sugary Drinks

Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), also known as sugary drinks, are beverages with added sugar. They are high in kilojoules, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.

If you’re not burning it off, you could also increase your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
