A Soda a Day Packs the Pounds Away

From the “duh” files comes yet another study linking the consumption of soda and other sweetened beverages to bad things. Except this time, researchers studied the effects sugary beverages have on the bodies of children between two and five years old.

Researchers from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville surveyed the parents of 9,600 children born in 2001 from across the nation, asking questions about their TV-watching habits, socioeconomic level, and children’s consumption of sugary drinks. The completed study, published in this month’s issue of the journalPediatrics, reported that five-year-old children who drank beverages sweetened by sugar every day were 43 percent more likely to be obese than those who drank the beverages less frequently or not at all.
