Per capita consumption of regular (sugared) soft drinks increased 86% between 1970 and 1997. It has been suggested that they may pose health risks if they replace more nutrient-dense foods and beverages. The probability of meeting the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) threshold for vitamins and minerals is modeled as a function of individual characteristics including the proportion of food energy received from sweetened drinks. For all vitamins and minerals studied, an increase in consumption of food energy from sugared drinks was significantly associated with a reduced probability of meeting the RDA. Results suggest a tendency to substitute sugared drinks for more nutrient-dense foods and beverages, leading to an overall reduction in micronutrients.
