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.
