Some good news for the health activists and enthusiasts.\u00a0 People in US are consuming much less Soda now.\u00a0 In fact the levels are down to almost what they were 15-30 years back.\u00a0 The Soda consumption has declined 1.2% in 2012 \u2014 down to 1996 levels, with per capita consumption in the U.S. falling to 1987 levels as per the Beverage Digest.<\/p>\n

During the entire 1990s the Soda consumption was rising by 3%, before it slowed in 1999.<\/p>\n

It seems that Coke conntinues to rule this beverage market which is worth $77 billion.<\/p>\n

Coke continues to rule the category, with a 17% share, according to Beverage Digest. Diet Coke holds a 9.4% share, while Pepsi ranks third with an 8.9% share. Despite promising signs<\/a> that PepsiCo<\/a>\u2018s work to stabilize its beverage brands is working, regular Pepsi lost 0.3% share and Diet Pepsi lost 0.2% share. Meanwhile, Mtn Dew and Diet Mtn Dew, both PepsiCo brands, gained share.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is good for the health system, since most of the deadly diseases today are related to obesity, which is directly impacted by Soda consumption in the population.<\/p>\n
