BEIJING, Sep. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- A campaign is being launched across U.S. to help lovers of sugar drinks reduce their habit by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
This campaign is based on the findings of a new survey conducted by CDC (Centers for Disease Control).
"Men drink more than women, and teens and young adults drink the most," said Cynthia L. Ogden who is an epidemiologist at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
The campaign is called "Life's Sweeter with Fewer Sugary Drinks." And it aims to decrease
intake1 of
soda2 and sugary drinks down to the American Heart Association recommendation of fewer than three cans per person per week.
Sugary drink intake in the U.S. has increased over the last 30 years, which has been linked with weight gain,
obesity3, poor diet, and type 2
diabetes4.
So far, the cities signing on include Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.
