Looks like the medical and science experts have came up with another excuse to justify violence and anti-social behaviour. Drinking soft drinks can make you violent. What will they blame violence on next?

I would say this study was really biased. It was conducted in a high crime area where over 20% of the least violent kids polled carried a weapon. Also the ages of these children are important, parents who care more about there kids probably don't give them as many cans of pop as in a dysfunctional relationship. There are several other factors in this such as Alcohol and cigarettes, if they wanted an accurate poll they would have left those who drank alcohol or smoked out of the study as both are prone to help agitate the consumer towards violence. I myself drink up to 5 cans a day and have done so since I was like 14. Yet I haven't done anything violent since I was about 12-13. In fact I was most violent before I started consuming large amounts of pop. As for sugar causing violence that might be possible but if that is the case targeting pop directly is a very flawed approach. If sugar is the culprit that is found in candies and almost every product we consume. This seems to much like a smear campaign to me!

Fact is the study is inconclusive and full of bias and incapable of giving any kind of accurate result!
