Doctor QuotesAccording to Doctor David Ludwig, Harvard obesity researcher, children that drink a daily soda pop have a 60% higher chance of developing obesity.And,according to Doctor Caroline M. Apovian, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at Boston Medical Center. "If you want to stop the epidemic of childhood obesity, curbing soda consumption is the place to start. Health messages on labels would certainly help parents and teens be aware of the risks." She then goes on to say, “...reducing sugar sweetened beverage consumption may be the best single opportunity to curb the obesity epidemic.”
