U.S. Dietary Guidelines confirm beverages can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Moreover, diet soda and low-calorie sweeteners have proven to be an effective tool for weight loss and management. For instance, a randomized clinical trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that those who consumed zero sugar or reduced sugar beverages in place of caloric ones consumed fewer calories than other control groups, including those who consumed only water.
America’s beverage companies agree that it’s important for people to be mindful of their sugar intake. There are many beverage choices with zero sugar and in smaller portions.
