Avoiding Sugar In TeaSugar in teaDo you take your tea with sugar? Drinking sweetened beverages may reduce your chances of long term weight loss and management. A new study has found that reducing beverages sweetened with sugar was significantly associated with weight loss at 6 months and 18 months. In a survey of 810 adults participating in an 18-month behavior modification trial, researchers found that reductions in sugar-sweetened beverages were more effective for weight loss than reductions in calories from solid food (Chen L, Reduction in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with weight loss: the PREMIER trial, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, April 2009). Sugar-sweetened beverages included soft drinks, sweetened fruit drinks, fruit punches, high calorie beverages with sugar, and even zero calorie coffee or tea with sugar added. Worried about the taste of tea without added sweeteners? You can wean yourself off sugar in tea by exploring green tea varieties with hundreds of new tastes .
