Wednesday's Kojo Nnamdi show on WAMU 88.5 FM discusses "the war on soda and high fructose syrup."
"'Soda taxes' and other measures are popping up across the country. But other beverages, including sports drinks and "healthy" bottled teas, can pack nearly as much sugar as a root beer, and often don't deliver the health benefits their labels promise. We explore the "liquid calories" Americans are consuming, and how they're affecting our health."
