Swap Soda for Diet Drinks or Water
For people who regularly drink sugar-sweetened beverages, replacing them with water or non-nutritive sweetened drinks is presented as a practical way to cut calories without giving up a sweet beverage habit. This swap is described as a net health positive because it lowers sugar intake and can support weight loss or reduced adiposity compared with continuing sugary soda.
