Abstract: | Background During last few decades, soft drink consumption has steadily increased while milk intake has decreased. Excess consumption
of soft drinks and low milk intake may pose risks of several diseases such as dental caries, obesity, and osteoporosis. Although
beverage consumption habits form during young adulthood, which has a strong impact on beverage choices in later life, nutrition
education programs on beverages are scarce in this population. The purpose of this investigation was 1) to assess soft drink
and milk consumption and 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of 15-week class-based nutrition intervention in changing beverage
choices among college students. |
