Eating and Drinking Well

"When you put together soda and fruit drinks, that seems to be in first place as energy provider in the American diet," says Bermudez, who presented the preliminary results of her ongoing study at the Experimental Biology conference in April. "This is something to worry about."

Bermudez asserts that soft drinks are one factor contributing to a widely documented "obesity epidemic" in the United States.

This is not surprising, though. Researchers found that children (including teenagers) in the U. S. consume, on average, around two cans of soda or fruit drink a day. And a 25% of all teens drink as much as four cans a day, each containing about 150 calories.

Obesity, a health challenge

"Obesity is one of the most daunting health challenges of the 21st century," assert George L. Blackburn and W. Allan Walker of Harvard Medical School in this Science News article. Because of the increasing incidences of overweight people, researchers have been looking at everything from the amount of sleep we get, to our hormones, our neighborhood and to food advertising, searching for the answer as to why we eat more than we should. But some are saying that one key factor preventing people from eating healthier foods is that healthier foods cost more than junk food. In short, sweet and fatty food costs less than fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meat or fish.
