- Dietitians agree — cut back on 1 thing for better gut health, energy, and lower risk of cancer
Dietitians advise cutting back on sugary drinks because they are a major source of added sugar and have been linked to increased risks of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and certain cancers. Instead, swapping these beverages for options like plain water or seltzer is recommended for improving overall gut health and energy levels. The advice extends beyond soda to include other sugary drinks such as energy and sports drinks.
