Check out this cool new animated video on the science behind the consumption of sugary beverages among Latino kids.
The video, which is part of a new Salud America! “Sugary Drinks and Latino Kids” package of research, which also contains a research review, issue brief and infographic, can be found here.
Latino kids consume an above-average amount of sugary drinks (74% have had a sugary drink by age 2!).
Raising the price of sugary drinks could reduce consumption among Latino kids, and potentially improve weight outcomes, according to research.
