Our parents had no idea that some of these\nproducts contained an excessive amount of sugar. While sugars are added to\nfoods and beverages to sweeten them, they are very caloric and provide little\nnutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends\nthat we restrict our daily intake of sugar to 5-10 teaspoons at all stages of\nlife to reduce the risk of obesity and cavities. That\u2019s less than 10% of our\ndaily caloric intake. If possible, less than 5% is ideal. That glass of\nlemonade I drank regularly as a kid had 20 grams of sugar, which is 5\nteaspoons.&nbsp; So I was drinking my recommended allowance of added sugar for\nthe day in just one glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),\nconsumption of sugary beverages accounts for almost half of all added sugars\nconsumed by Americans.&nbsp; To satiate that sweet tooth and to stay hydrated\nduring the summer, low calorie sweetened beverages are a great\nalternative.&nbsp; Replacing added sugars with low calorie sweetened beverages\nwill reduce caloric intake overall and meet the new recommended daily intake of\nadded sugars.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29166970\">research<\/a> finds that\nusing low calorie sweeteners in lieu of sugar facilitates weight loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with summertime in full swing, heat wave conditions\nhave hit several regions of the country on more than one occasion.&nbsp; It\u2019s\nimportant to heed the advice heard all over the news- avoid heat related\nillness by staying hydrated.&nbsp; Drinking enough low calorie sweetened\nbeverages or water is a great way to meet your fluid requirements on hot days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keri-P.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17316\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keri\nPeterson, MD <\/strong>is a medical contributor and columnist for <em>Women\u2019s Health<\/em> and a\nfrequent guest on <em>NBC\u2019s\nToday, ABC\u2019s Good Morning America, Fox News<\/em> and<em> CNN<\/em>.
