of higher own price elasticity values for sugar sweetened
drinks than we have calculated and used here.18 22 52 We can not make direct comparisons between the results
of our study and the results
of recent studies

of reducing sugar sweetened
drink consumption on body weight in children, 5 7 as the relation between
energy balance and change in body mass index in children who are growing is different from that in adults.
