Penny-per-ounce tax on soda (bad summary)

This article examined what the effects of taxing sugar-sweetened beverages. The authors looked at what would happen to consumption if a one cent per ounce tax was added to the price of all sodas. The study also revealed the health effects of the tax and broke out results for various age groups. The report also discussed how much pop Americans consume and some of the connections between soda and obesity. This article would be a good source for my paper.
