Sugar, kids and fat
Title: Relation between consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks and childhood obesity: A prospective, observational analysis
Author: D. Ludwig, et al.
Address: Boston, MA
Source: The Lancet 357:505-508 (February) 2001
Summary: Previous research has shown that the prevalence of obesity among children in the US has increased by 100% between 1980 and 1994. The USDA has shown the soft-drink consumption has increased by almost 500% over the past 50 years. 65% girls and 74% boys consume soft drinks daily. 548 schoolchildren with an average age of 11.7 years were studied for 19 months between 1995 to 1997. For each additional serving of sugar-sweetened drink consumed, both body mass index (BMI) (mean 0.24 kg/m2) and frequency of obesity (odds ratio 1.60) increased after adjustment for body type, demographic, dietary, and lifestyle variables. Baseline consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks was also independently associated with change in BMI (mean 0.18 kg/M2 for each daily serving).
Comment: Simple - more soda pop, more fat.
