Teens who participated in the study drank more than five cans of soda per day reported more likely to commit acts of violence against others, the researcher explained.
This picture is seen in the observations of researchers from the University of Vermont, USA which analyzed survey responses from 1878 adolescents from 22 public schools in Boston.
Participants were asked about how many drinks they had consumed soda for the past week, and whether they have committed violence against their peers, their relatives or those around them.
Responses were then divided into two groups: those who said they drank up to four cans during the previous week (low consumption), and who said they drank five or more (high consumption).
The results are visible, adolescents who are heavy consumers of soft drinks, has the possibility of aggressive behavior 9 to 15 percent higher than low consumers.
Researchers believe this is caused by an underlying condition, such as low blood sugar, and high consumption of soda is bad for adolescent behavior.
