碳酸软饮料(CSD)和其他饮料在能量摄入中所占的比例越来越大，公众对含糖饮料的消费与体重增加、肥胖和其他心脏代谢问题之间的联系的担忧也越来越多。作为回应，食品和饮料行业声称正在重新制定产品配方，减少包装或份量，并引入更健康的选择。需要对各种变化及其对公共卫生的潜在影响进行比较分析。我们利用可口可乐公司和百事公司这两家最大和最有影响力的含糖饮料生产商进行了一项案例研究，这两家公司总共控制着全球软饮料市场的34%，考察了它们在2000年至2010年期间在全球和三个关键市场(美国、巴西和中国)的产品组合。在全球范围内，销售的总收入和人均能源有所增加，但平均能源密度(每100毫升销售的千焦耳)略有下降，这表明人们正在转向低卡路里产品。在美国，人均总能量和销售饮料的平均能量密度都有所下降，而巴西和中国这两个发展中市场的情况正好相反，中国和巴西的人均总能量大幅增加，增幅较小。
Carbonated soft drinks (CSD) and other beverages make up an increasing percentage of energy intake, and there are rising public health concerns about the links between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain, obesity, and other cardio-metabolic problems. In response, the food and beverage industry claims to be reformulating products, reducing package or portion sizes, and introducing healthier options. Comparative analysis on various changes and their potential effects on public health are needed. We conduct a case study using the two largest and most influential producers of sweetened beverages, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, who together control 34 percent of the global soft drink market, examining their product portfolios globally and in three critical markets (the US, Brazil, and China) from 2000-2010. On a global basis, total revenues and energy per capita sold increased, yet the average energy density (kilojoules per 100 milliliters) sold declined slightly, suggesting a shift to lower-calorie products. In the US, both total energy per capita and average energy density of beverages sold decreased, while the opposite was true in the developing markets of Brazil and China, with total per capita energy increasing greatly in China and, to a lesser extent, in Brazil.
