class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extreme heat may affect added sugar consumption through the increased intake of drinks and frozen desserts, but such an impact is rarely quantified. Here, using individual transaction-level data for US households in 2004\u20132019, we find that added sugar consumption is positively related to temperature, notably within 12\u201330\u2009\u00b0C at a rate of 0.70\u2009g\u2009\u00b0C<sup>\u22121<\/sup>. This is primarily driven by the higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and frozen desserts. The magnitude of such impact is larger among households with lower income or educational levels. Our projections indicate a substantial nationwide increase in added sugar consumption of 2.99\u2009g per day by 2095 (or equivalently 5\u2009\u00b0C warming level), with vulnerable groups at an even higher risk. Our results highlight the critical need to mitigate health risks from the over-intake of added sugar and to explore dietary adaptation to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41558-025-02398-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41558-025-02398-8<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>As someone who lives in a warm subtropical climate, I can assure you we don\u2019t sit around all day eating ice cream.
