Hydration and Obesity Prevention
Hydratatino et prévention de l'obésité
Résumé
There is compelling evidence that SSB increase childhood obesity. ‘Reduce sugary drinks, drink water instead', is a simple message that can be distributed among young children and their caregivers. SSB are devoid of essential nutrients and one can therefore easily do without them. One may speculate that there is no other single food product whose elimination could contribute more to prevent excessive weight gain.
The goal of the proposed community-based intervention is to establish a healthier environment where water - and not SSB - are widely accessible. In the long run, this may improve health behaviors and health outcomes such as overweight as well as dental erosion and caries in both children and their caregivers.
