Doubled Calorie Intake From Beverages Likely Contributes To Adult Obesity

Understatement, stupid statement or both?

"Likely"?

It is a certainty.

"It's not just sugary sodas that are adding to the obesity crisis it's fruit drinks, alcohol and a combination of other high-calorie beverages, say University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health researchers. And during the holidays, when eggnog, cocktails and spiced cider are abundant, the problem can be even more apparent."

It is all about Calories in and Calories out.

How one overindulges in Calories is virtually immaterial.

"Over the past 37 years, the number of calories adults get through beverages has nearly doubled, according to a UNC study published in the November issue of Obesity Research by Kiyah J. Duffey, a doctoral candidate in the department of nutrition, and Barry M. Popkin, Ph.D., professor of nutrition and a fellow at the Carolina Population Center."

And for this crap they needed research.

Stop the flow of funds to these nut cases.
