Study: Teen junk food consumption dropped during pandemic

LOS ANGELES - A new study reveals teens consumed less junk food during the coronavirus pandemic.

Researchers looked at kids between the ages of 13 and 19 and found that fewer teens ate highly-processed meals after pandemic restrictions began. This includes foods such as candy, chips, and sugary drinks, which are all linked to teen obesity.

The study was conducted by the Journal of Endocrine Society.
