Researchers Propose Tax on Soft Drinks

Researchers say one of the best ways to cut down on childhood obesity would be a one cent per ounce tax on soda and other sugary drinks.Â
They say it not only makes consumers more mindful of what they drink, Â it could help raise billions of dollars for obesity prevention programs.Â

The researchers admit a so-called soda tax could be tough to swallow, and probably won’t happen in the near future.
