Sugary drinks.

Interesting that there was no distinction between high fructose corn syrup and cane juice sugar[1], and in fact a hot cup of tea with sugar in it was counted as a sugary drink. Interesting and yikes.

[1] - this is a distinction made in nutritional listings on products here.

How would sugar in tea/coffee not be 'a sugary drink'? you literally put sugar in it.

Yes, that is true. I have not seen studies include self-dosed items when considering "sugary drinks". The studies I have previously seen are usually all about vilifying high-fructose corn-syrup based soda pop. So, I was pointing out that this study was different in that respect, since I found that worthy of noting.
