Summary

This study tests if replacing sugary sodas with unsweetened flavored sparkling water can help Black and Latine teens with obesity reduce their sugar intake and improve health. Over 8 weeks, 63 participants will swap their usual drinks for study beverages and complete taste tests, diet recalls, and blood draws. The goal is to see if this simple change can shift their taste preferences and lower risks like insulin resistance.
