Soft drinks, the "sweet killer" of children's health

Let's first look at the nutritional ingredient list on the beverage packaging, taking a bottle of 340ml sugary carbonated drink as an example, which contains about 150 kcal, which is equivalent to 40-50g of sugar. Some people say that people's energy intake is fixed, and after drinking a drink, they will eat less. This is absolutely wrong. The Journal of the American Medical Association article said that the human body's increase in liquid carbohydrate intake does not reduce its intake of solid foods accordingly. That is to say, the child first drank a bottle of high-sugar drinks, or drank while eating, and did not reduce the amount of food eaten at the meal. Roughly converted, eat more than 40-50g of sugar every day, eat a meal, and increase the weight of 6.75 kg in a year!! This is also why many elementary school students are overweight.
