A recent study from Swansea University suggests that consuming sugar-sweetened drinks in early childhood can lead to poor dietary habits and an increased risk of obesity later in life. The research followed 14,000 British children and found that those who drank fizzy drinks at a young age gained more weight as adults, while those who consumed pure fruit juice had healthier outcomes. The study also showed that children who drank cola had unhealthier diets compared to those who drank apple juice, with corresponding differences in food choices. The researchers stress the importance of promoting good dietary habits from a young age to combat obesity.
