MUMBAI: A Canadian research has squarely put the blame for teenage obesity on sugary drinks. It has asked schools to take steps to reduce consumption.
Teenage obesity has been growing rapidly, with India reporting almost 30% incidence of overweight and obesity among urban children.
Data from the 2008 Adolescent Health survey among 11,000 grade seven to 12 students in British Columbia schools indicates sugary drinks like soda increased the odds of obesity more than other foods such as pizza, french fries, chips and candies, said the study conducted by the University of British Columbia.
The study, published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, found that students in schools where sugary drinks were available consumed them more often and were more likely to be obese on the BMI scale.""This study adds to the mounting literature that shows the high concentration of sugar in soft drinks contributes to obesity in adolescents,"" said lead author Louise Masse from the University of British Columbia's School of Population and Public Health.
