Teens who spend more time watching television, talking on mobile phones and using social media, a new study says, are more likely to drink sugared or caffeinated drinks than others. That’s the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Hamilton’s McMaster University. They looked at US data from 32,418 students in Grades 8 and 10 and found those who spent an additional hour per day on TV were at 32 percent higher risk of exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for sugar.
