What is the Impact of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages on Children's Health?
Children and adolescents are significant consumers of SSBs, making them particularly vulnerable to their negative health effects. High intake of SSBs in young populations is linked to an increased risk of childhood obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, and early onset of metabolic diseases. This raises concerns about long-term health outcomes, as early exposure to excessive sugar can predispose children to chronic health issues later in life.
