In the News: Americans drinking less sugar-sweetened
beverages
During the time-period of 1999 to
2010, Americans lowered their calorie intake from sweetened beverages by 68
calories per day for US kids ages 2-19.
Adults lowered their sugared beverage intake by 45 calories per
day. The researchers looked at over
22,000 kids and 29,000 adults. The
researchers found that the decreased sugar drinks were sodas and fruit
drinks. The sports drink/energy drink
calorie consumption did not change. So,
we are drinking less soda and fruit drinks as a population. That sounds like a step in the right direction, doesn't it?
