The U.S. Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) reports that the number of teens who drink soda or sugary drinks has gone down by 5 percent in the last year. According to a recent study, 24 percent of 11,500 high school students drank at least one can of soda each day. Sixty percent had at least one soda or sugary drink (like a sports or energy drink) each day.
