Contrary to concerns, a change from whole to fat-free milk did not lead to a decreased demand for milk among students.

This study suggests that the presence of a school policy regarding the availability of SSBs in schools is associated with children's decreased consumption of SSBs.

Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2009; 163:336-343. This study utilized NHANES data to estimate that children and adolescents derive 35% of their beverage intake from sweetened beverages and that replacing those with water would reduce daily caloric intake by 235 kcal. These findings have important implications in developing interventions and policies to encourage intake of water instead of SSBs.

This randomized controlled trial of primary schools in Germany coupled provision of drinking water (installation of drinking fountains, distribution of reusable water bottles) with educational messages to encourage water consumption. The trial led to increased water consumption and a decreased percentage of overweight students at intervention versus control schools.
