• DEARDORFF, Julie. Kids who play sports
eat more junk food: Study, Chicago Tribune, March 20th
2012.
Abstract:
This article highlights the results of a study
showing that the sport is almost synonymous with junk food.
Quotation:
“We parents like to
believe that signing the kids up for soccer, hockey and other sports can keep
them lean and fit.
But there’s a surprising
lack of evidence showing that sports participation prevents obesity in
children, according to a recent review of the existing research. In fact, kids
who play sports are more likely to eat fast food, drink soda and consume more
total calories overall, according to the article published in Current Sports
Medicine Reports, a journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.”
Index terms:
