Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Oral
The abundance and marketing of sugar-sweetened beverages have received considerable attention recently as contributors to the obesity epidemic. In this session, researchers will discuss findings and policy implications from a systematic review of research studies on consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and their contribution to obesity. Researchers will also present findings on SSB consumption by 2-year-old children in Oregon, Latino youth in Los Angeles, and adults in NY state.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe the potential relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and obesity in the U.S.; 2. Discuss differences in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among different age groups (e.g., toddlers, adolescents, adults) and between geographic regions of the U.S.
