Over the past few decades, America has been grappling with a health crisis driven by rising rates of diabetes and obesity. Numerous studies have linked these issues to the excessive consumption of sugar, particularly in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda, fruit juices, sports drinks, and iced teas.
