RESULTS OF ONE LESS SUGAR DRINK

The conclusion of a study published online in May 2010, researchers followed 810 people for 18 months. Those who consumed an average of one less 12-ounce sugar-sweetened drink a day – such as sodas and fruit drinks – tended to have lower blood pressure levels than those who drank more. With summer’s heat only a few months away, it is hard to beat a drink of cool water.
