Glass of Soda
Study Documents the Detrimental Impact of Teen Beverage Choices

To combat the escalating rates of childhood obesity, parents should go beyond what's on their children's plate and look at what's filling their glass, suggests a study that was presented at the Experimental Biology scientific conference.

The study found that no other single food provides more calories to a teenager's diet than sodas and fruit drinks. In all, these sweet drinks provide about 13 percent of a teenager's total calories -- more than cakes, cookies and other sugary foods. Sodas and fruit drinks are also the single leading source of added sugars in a teen's diet, providing more than half of all added sugars they consume.
