from Reuters:
“Kids who reportedly drank no soda scored 56 on the aggression scale, on average. That compared to 57 among kids who drank one serving per day, 58 among those who drank two servings, 59 among those who drank three servings and 62 for four soda servings or more per day.”
After researchers took into account other habits that may have influenced their findings, like television watching, candy consumption and mother’s race and education level, they still discovered that drinking 2-4 more servings of soda a day resulted in higher aggression scores.
In all, children who consumed more than four servings per day were about twice as likely to 1) destroy other people’s things; and 2) get into more fights and attack people physically than kids who did not drink soda.
