June 19/Atlanta/Centers for Disease Control -- One-fourth (24%) of students drank soda, down from 29% in 2009, according to a recently released report from Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Analysis of the National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study (NYPANS) conducted by CDC results show that daily consumption of regular soda or pop, sports drinks, and other sugar-sweetened beverages is still prevalent in this population--especially among male students and black students. However, it has decreased since the previous year.
