Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages in People with Severe Mental Illness: A Community-Based Cohort Study
Consumption of added sugars from SSBs in consumers of community mental health services is four times higher than the general population. This is an underestimation of the total intake of added sugars without other contributors from discretionary foods. Measuring consumption of SSBs may be an easy-to-use proxy for assessing dietary risk when dietitians are not available.
