Sugar and soft drinks not a major cause of childhood obesity

September 3rd, 2007 | by David Spelts |

A large UK study found that intake of sugar and soft drinks is only weakly associated with obesity in children. Much stronger correlations were found for total caloric intake, activity levels, and high fat and protein intake.

Only very high consumers of sugar and soft drinks showed any increase in obesity.
