The Minneapolis Star Tribune recently reported that students in Minnesota who drank the most pop also seemed to be the most violent. The higher the pop consumption, the more problems with aggressive behaviors like getting into fights. These same findings were also reported in a Boston, Massachusetts study.
Pop is extremely high in sugar which can cause your blood sugar levels to fluctuate wildly. This can cause poor mood and agitation which could potentially lead to the violent behavior. Also, if children are drinking lots of pop, they probably aren't getting enough water and quality, nutritious food in their diet. The lack of quality food means a lack of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats that the body needs.
