PREVENTING CHILDHOOD OBESITY BY REDUCING CONSUMPTION OF CARBONATED DRINKS: CLUSTER RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL.

A study called "Preventing Childhood Obesity by Reducing Consumption of Carbonated Drinks: Cluster Randomised Controlled trial" involves a project aimed at making an intervention inside a variety of schools in England. These interventions try to discourage children from the consumption of "fizzy" or carbonated drinks, telling them that it would improve their general wellbeing. As a result, this study found out that by diminishing the intake of carbonated drinks, weight gain can be prevented. Further research was done two years later, and they discovered that these changes did not remain.
