Teens may be consuming a lower amount of sugary drinks than before.
A study that was released this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that nearly two quarters of American teens have at least one sugary drink a day. That's much better than in the past, according to the USA Today, when more than three quarters said they had a sugary drink each day.
A few ways to localize this story:
• Talk to your local school districts and find out what steps they have taken to reduce the number of sugary drinks available for teens.
• What kind of education happens today in health classes concerning sugary food and drinks? Is there more awareness than before?
• Talk to a nutritional expert for commentary on this story. What do they think may have changed the sugary trend for teens? Are beverages reducing the amount of sugar? Are schools doing a better job? Are parents more educated?
