    researchers interviewed 80,438 teenagers, of whom 52,838 said they drank sugary drinks, or 66 percent of the total, including sodas, juices and iced tea.
    69 percent (55,316 people) said they would eat fruit, and 68 percent of teens had a habit of eating while watching TV.
    2016, the World Health Organization called for higher taxes on sugary drinks, such as sodas, in an effort to reduce consumption of such drinks.
    The World Health Organization believes that if taxes on sugary drinks were increased by 20 per cent, consumption would be reduced by 20 per cent and if taxes were increased by 50 per cent, consumption would be reduced by 50 per cent.
