JAMA had a meta-study reviewing published nutritional studies, I don't remember exactly, maybe a year or two ago? They found that 83% had researcher bias. I think that explains a lot of the changes in nutrition advice over the years. I should have bookmarked it. But yeah, eat a med diet and don't use sugary drinks - except on the bike!
And it's China, right? While I don't think MPHL
has become a global public health problem
I applaud the political goal to get kids to drink fewer SSBs. After all,
numerous studies have indicated the negative effect of the Western diet on MPHL
and
Emphasizing that SSB consumption could have a potential negative effect on one’s appearance could catch the attention of the young population and promote a reduction in SSB intake.
You go, guys.
