Sodas, Diet and Teenage Girls

In a US Agriculture Department survey of 732 girls, 78% of 12-year-old girls drank milk, while consuming only nine ounces of soda per day. The oldest teenagers, the 19-year-olds, gulped down 14 ounces of soda per day and only 36% continued to drink milk.

When compared with previous studies, the study found a 36% decrease in overall milk consumption among US teenage girls from the 1970s to the mid-1990s.

Also, many 19-year-olds had inadequate amounts of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, which are important for strengthening bones. The lack of these essential nutrients could later make them vulnerable to obesity, high blood pressure and osteoporosis.

The study found most of the soda was consumed at home, not purchased from vending machines at school.
