Americans drinking more sugary drinks
Posted: 09/01/2011
BALTIMORE - It seems more Americans are consuming sugary drinks.
A new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds half of Americans aged 2 and up drink a soda or sugary beverage every day.
On average, males consume twice as many calories from these beverages as women each day.
Teenage boys led the pack, drinking the equivalent of nearly two cans of soda each day.
How many do you drink every day? Let us know on Facebook .
