“Last week, federal disease investigators reported that the cost of treating obesity has doubled in the past decade, and they pointed to sugar-laden beverages - sodas, energy drinks, fruity libations - as a prime culprit. Three months earlier, one of the nation’s premier nutrition specialists, Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health, embarked on a personal crusade to persuade consumers to forgo sugary drinks. Research conducted by Willett and other Boston scientists has shown that women who quaffed more than two sweetened beverages a day had an almost 40 percent higher risk of heart disease than those who rarely touched the drinks."
