Mendez MA, et al. - Researchers investigated the extent of persistence of intake disparities in total sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and subtypes among children in the United States. For this purpose, they estimated usual SSB intake from NHANES surveys from 2003–2004 to 2013–2014 and assessed shifts at both the median and 90th percentile among US children. They noted recent declines but nonetheless, findings call for strategies to further attenuate SSB consumption, and specifically heavy intake, these need to be especially implemented among non-Hispanic black (NHB) children where fruit drinks also represent key source of SSBs. Non-Hispanic white (NHW) children from high income household exhibited lower SSB intake, however, a similar or higher intake was seen among NHB and Mexican-American (MA) children from high income households vs those from poor households.
