- Abstract
This article presents a review of recent literature about the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) in Colombia. Based on a non-systematic review, 20 studies were chosen, which were grouped into the following categories: 5 carried out based on the National Survey of Nutritional Situation; 7 subnational studies and 5 related to taxes on SSBS; the remaining 3 correspond to the Colombian press’s approach to SSBs and regulatory strategies aimed at reducing their consumption. Initially, the authors show a synthesis of the main findings of every research selected, then they are discussed in the light of the regional literature about sugar SSBs consumption and the strategies to reduce it. The review of the selected literature allows to affirm that Colombia has important information about the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, for that reason it is time to take effective measures to reduce the consumption of these products.
