provided. Researchers

who drink more milk instead of sodas tend to
weigh less and have less body fat.

To combat the escalating rates of childhood
obesity, parents should go
beyond what's on their children's plate and look
at what's filling their glass, suggests a new study
that was presented
today at the Experimental Biology scientific conference. Chocolate milk and other
flavored milks contributed only 2
percent of the total added sugars in a teen's diet, compared to
50 percent
or more that soft drinks and fruit drinks provided. Research suggests a shortage of the
calcium provided by milk during the teenage years could lead to a failure
to maximize bone mass
, setting the stage for osteoporosis in the future. Additionally, several states
have introduced
legislation to limit the availability of soft drinks in
schools.cyberpoetry janie
