Reducing the Obesity Epidemic - A Switch from Soft Drinks to Milk?

American Journal of Preventive Medicine
(09/2004)

A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine suggests that switching from soft drinks to milk may help reduce the nation's obesity epidemic. Researchers at the University of North Carolina found that calorie intake from sweetened soft drinks and fruit drinks grew 135 percent since 1977, while calories from milk dropped 38 percent. The researchers say this trend may be contributing to the rising rates of obesity in this country...particularly among children and adolescents.
