Health Advocates Cheer Decline in Soda Drinking

Health Advocates Cheer Decline in Soda Drinking

Health advocates see an encouraging trend in the fight against obesity and diet-related disease as of late. According to many recent studies, Americans are drinking less soda pop than previous years. Per capita consumption of carbonated soft drinks has declined for 11 straight years.

The recognition that soda pop promotes weight gain and disease is gaining traction, contributing to the steady decline in soda consumption. Ten years from now, it would be great to see that Americans are drinking a can and a half a week, instead of a can and a half a day like many previous studies have concluded. The goal should be to restore sugary soda to what it once was, an occasional treat in a reasonable portion, no the everyday super-sized cup.

Besides concern over obesity, Jacobson said that the growing popularity of bottled water, the low-carb Atkins and South Beach diets, bans on soft drinks in schools, and rising unemployment rates are all partly responsible for the decline in soda consumption.
