As beverages increasingly populate restaurant menus, health officials warn of more sugary drinks

Despite the obesity epidemic that has breached into the U.S., sugary and calorie-filled beverages continue to dominate the menus of fast-food restaurants. A new study from the Cleveland Clinic monitoring the evolution of 63 U.S. chain restaurant menus found beverages now make up a third of those menus. That's not good, said one registered dietician, who is worried the availability of so many sugary beverages could magnify an already troubling trend of obesity.
