Can-a-day warning over fizzy drinks
CONSUMING a can of sugary drink a day can make teenagers gain up to a stone in weight over a year, according to new American research.
The findings came as experts predicted that almost 40% of children in the EU will be overweight by 2010 if present trends continue and warned of a "global epidemic" of obesity.
In the Americas the proportion will be close to a half, up from around 28% now.
