Dr. Hemenway and coauthors found that teenagers who drank more than five 12-ounce cans of carbonated soft drinks each week were more likely to carry a weapon and commit violence against friends, dates, and siblings. The study also found that the relationship appears to be a dose-response relationship, with the strongest relationships shown for teenagers drinking 14 or more cans per week.

definitely no sodas for my young ones.........

those drinking 14 cans per week of course drink them on dates and outings with their mates. Those drinking only five must be stressed coz they don't get enough time to hang out...in other words, that research is unnecessarily blaming carbonated drinks. If they use a theory of falsification, whereby every violent child is examined, what is the probability that the most violent kids drink the highest amount of carbonated drinks? What if violent kids regard drinking carbonated drinks as cool before they get to the legal alcohol drinking age? Does it mean the most peaceful and calm kids take no carbonated drinks at all?
What chemicals in carbonated drinks are responsible for aggressive behavioour?

That's incomplete research...warudi field kucollect data
