New Study Finds Americans Drinking Three Sugared Drinks A Day; Big Source Of Calories

April 12, 2010: 02:51 AM EST
A survey by Nestlé Pure Life brand bottled water found that Americans, on average, consume three sugared drinks per day, resulting in high calorie intake from beverages. According to the results 70% of Americans think calorie content of both food and drinks is important but just 43%, rarely, if ever, pay attention to the calorie content of beverages they drink and serve to their families. Moreover, only 23% always make the calorie content a priority. The survey also found that Americans aged 18-34 are less strict in monitoring their calorie intake compared to those 35 and older counterparts (52% vs. 39%). At the same time as announcing the survey results, Nestlé launched its Nestlé Pure Life Pledge that aims to reduce by one billion the calorie intake of American families in 2010 by encouraging people to swap one sugared drink for water a day. The company will donate $5 to the Healthy Kids Challenge for each participating family.
