Discounts are promoting the sale of unhealthy drinks that are rich in fat and sugar, a study has found. Researchers in New Zealand's University of Otago looked at about 1500 discounts over a month in four supermarkets across Wellington. They found only 15% of all the non-alcoholic drinks discounted were classed as 'healthy'.
Beverages classed as 'healthy' in the study were water, plain reduced-fat milk and plain reduced-fat soy drinks. In the 'unhealthy' group were sweetened carbonated beverages, sport beverages and flavoured waters and cordial.
