Activists continue to try to link sugar and soft drink consumption to health problems and they continue to fail. Scientist Barry Popkin, while admitting his new study finds no proof of sugared drinks causing any health problems, says parents should “restrict their kids’ soft drink and fruit drink consumption” anyway. Center for Science in the Public Interest president Michael Jacobson immediately endorsed the research, saying studies like this “are the reason that we’ve asked the FDA to recommend limits on daily sugar intake.”
