D8.Discussion & Questions about Minerals Answer

Chan School of Public Health (2021) explained the pros and cons of fitness waters. The Growing Up Today Study II, which followed approximately 4,100 females and 3,400 males for seven years, discovered that the more sports beverages were drunk, the stronger the link between an increased BMI and overweight/obesity, especially in boys.
