But don't worry, big pharma has a daily pill to cure all...
Kids and teens around the world are consuming more sugary drinks, increasing their risk of future health problems, a new study finds.
Young people consumed nearly 23% more sugar-sweetened beverages in 2018 compared to 1990, according to the report published Aug. 7 in the BMJ.
“Sugary beverages increase weight gain and risk of obesity, so even though kids don’t often develop diabetes or cardiovascular disease when they are young, there could be significant impacts later in life,” said lead researcher Laura Lara-Castor. She's a postdoctoral scholar in nutritional epidemiology at the University of Washington.
