11. Why the hating on juice and milk?

So it's some kind of juice in the morning and milk on their cereal, juice boxes and soda during the day and milk at supper.


The article has nothing bad to say about drinking natural juices or milk, only soft drinks such as soda. In fact, the authors apparently did not group things like Hi-C in with their study, as they specifically mention only soda: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57598832/soda-may-make-children-more-likely-to-destroy-things-attack-others/

"We found a significant relation with soda consumption with the overall measure of aggression and with the three specific behaviors we felt were most indicative of aggression: destroying things belonging to others, getting into fights and physically attacking people," wrote the authors, led by researcher Dr. Shakira Suglia, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, said in a written statement.
