Sugary drink studies

First Published:

A set of studies show more links between sugary drinks and obesity.

One of them finds that getting rid of pop, energy drinks and juices with lots of natural sugar from your kids’ diets can slow their weight gain.

Research on adults shows pop, blended coffees and sports drinks can flip on the genetic switch that tilt our bodies toward being overweight.

The studies show the average North American gets more than 200 extra calories a day from sugary drinks.
