IASO’s news feed

I subscribe to a weekly or so news feed from the International Association for the Study of Obesity (IASO) in the U.K.  (to sign up, contact newsnet@iaso.org).

Here are some of the items from the October 27 feed:

  • US: Consumer groups complain over ‘stealth’ PepsiCo ads
  • US: Tell McDonalds to stop hyping unhealthy fast food to kids
  • Ireland: Why tax on sugar is a sweet idea for health
  • US: Global Sports and Energy Drinks market could hit $52bn by 2016
  • US: Researchers question link between sugary drinks and health risk
  • US: Researchers find link between sugary drinks and aggression

It’s a good way to keep up on the sugary drinks controversy, if nothing else.
