Abstrakt		The prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases has reached pandemic proportions; therefore, increasing attention is paid to lifestyle changes in the population, especially the eating habits and consumption of certain food groups. Epidemiological evidence shows that the consumption of sugar-added beverages is associated with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; furthermore, it is an indicator of individual's unhealthy lifestyle. Sugar-added beverages are a source of so-called "empty calories" that have no nutritional value and represent the largest source of added energy and intake of added sugars, especially fructose. It has been shown that a reduction in sugar-added beverage consumption leads to a decrease in body weight and a reduction in the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. The consumption of sugar-added beverages is ranked among the 15 most common risk factors among the indicators of an unhealthy lifestyle. Consequently, it is reasonable to intensify awareness of the importance of abstaining from the consumption of sugar-added beverages, especially in people with an increased risk of metabolic diseases and young people with an unhealthy lifestyle. In this article, sugar-added beverages and their association with obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, as well as possible healthy alternatives to such beverages are described.
