I am all for banning soda in schools. I understand the study is pointing to-that's not enough! However, I hope this study won't make people think it's okay to have soda in schools. What are your thoughts about soda in schools?
Here's the link fron CNN: Banning only soda in school is not effective in reducing consumption of sugary drinks, a new study has found. In the absence of soda, students turn to other sugar-sweetened beverages such as energy, sports or juices that are available at school.
When schools banned all sugar-sweetened beverages such as energy, sports drinks and sugary fruit juices, students bought fewer of these items.
Yet, about 85% of students, regardless of what kind of policy their schools had, drank sugary beverages weekly, according to the study published this week in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine
