Aim: Beverages that contribute significantly to the daily added sugar intakes are reported to cause increased health problems such as obesity as long as their consumption is not limited. The aim of this study is to estimate added sugar intake from beverages. This cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on 837 adults aged between 18-65 years.
Material and Methods: A questionnaire including questions about general socio-demographic characteristics (gender, occupation, income status, age, education) was applied. The beverage consumption within previous month was questioned using a beverage frequency questionnaire. The weight and height of the individuals were measured.
Results: In the present study, the mean added sugar intake from beverages was 13.1 ± 17.6 g/day. Fruit drinks and caloric sodas had the highest contributions to daily added sugar intake, followed by sweetened tea and coffee. It was found that 11.95% and 9.68% of participants exceeded the recommendation of the American Heart Association and World Health Organization, respectively.
Conclusions: Sugar sweetened beverages are significant contributors to daily added sugar intake in Turkish population. Therefore, decreasing the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages should be main public health implementation to avoid the negative health outcomes including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases that may occur in the future.
