Abstract:
This study shows that prevention campaigns
have allowed changing consumer behavior. They realized the risks only lead to a
high consumption of soda. So, buying energy drinks showed a sharp decline
markedly since the early 2000s.
Quotation:
“Over the course of
2011, soda saw its sales slip by a full percent, and 1.5% if you don’t include
energy drinks. But that’s not to say that Big Soda is underwater–it’s still a
billion dollar industry, and energy drinks are helping to keep it
afloat–however, it has shown a marked decline since the mid-2000s, when
consumers started to turn their attention to healthier (or healthier-seeming)
alternatives, like water and flavored waters, and bottle teas.
Per capita, Americans
are consuming the lowest number of carbonated beverages in 25 years, which is
great news for our hearts, brains, livers, and yes, waists. That said, the
average American still consumes about 714 eight-ounce servings (or about 476 cans)
of soda per year–which is well over a can a day. of either regular or diet
sodas, which can actually lead to weight gain, bloating, and, you know, heart
attacks. Which is a lot. That’s a lot of soda.”
