Diets improving for American youth
Over the study period the researchers noticed an increase in the consumption of healthy foods such as whole fruit and became more likely to avoid sugary drinks like soda which offer no real nutritional value.
“Although we showed that several areas still need to be improved … our paper provides evidence that we are on the correct track,” Gu adds. Gu is optimistic that if current trends persist healthy diets among American youths can only increase.
