Abstract: The beverage choices of community consumers in the United States are affected by taste preference,purchase convenience,health perception and community consumption environment.The research on sugar-free tea drinking guidance and sugar-sweetened beverage intake reduction needs to be carried out from the aspects of behavior recognition,guidance design and effect analysis.Focusing on the needs of healthy beverage behavior improvement,this paper constructed the classification of beverage intake,the setting of drinking frequency and time period of unsweetened tea,the control path of sugar-sweetened beverage intake and the before-and-after change evaluation process.Methodically,behavioral changes were identified according to drinking frequency,single intake,purchase scenario,and acceptance score.A total of 232 valid samples were obtained from 240 adults in three communities in the United States,and 14 days of intake data were recorded.The results showed that the convenience of sugar-free tea was 4.35 points,and the continuous drinking intention was 4.12 points.During the 7-day guidance observation period, the average weekly frequency of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was 3.6 times, compared with 5.8 times during the 7-day baseline period, while the weekly total intake was 954 mL compared with 1,914 mL. Because no concurrent control group was included, these results represent within-sample changes and do not establish that the guidance caused the decline. This study can provide a reference for the guidance of healthy beverages,the promotion of unsweetened tea consumption and the control of sugar-sweetened beverages intake in American communities.
