Food Fight: Scientists are taking on sodas as the `cigarettes' of obesity Nov 8, 2006, 17:44 UNDATED A fight is brewing between health researchers and the beverage industry over whether a warning should be put on soda. University of North Carolina scientist Barry Popkin is pushing for a warning label for sodas, linking their consumption to obesity. He says the nation got heavier at the same rate soda became more popular. Kevin Keane of the American Beverage Association says it's unfair to hold one product responsible for the nation's obesity problem. He says children are much less active now than a few years ago. Popkin is also in favor of a soda tax, like the one on tobacco. He says studies involving the links of soda and obesity are at the same stage as studies on tobacco and health problems several years ago, when those warning were issued. The beverage spokesman says linking drinking soda with smoking cigarettes is "absolutely ridiculous." By Associated Press © Copyright 2006 by DiscountCigarettesBox.Com Top of Page
