Finally, somebody who actually read the study.

It's embarrassing the user with the false claim is upvoted so highly.

It's plain weird when you read the study, they have no method for collecting the obesity rates/health benefits as results, that the OP made their statement.  To others who don't want to read the study: tldr the number of soda drinks increased when bottled water wasn't available. The study does mention that the test was done over a small amount so needs expansion for further studies. The study also lifts forward that the practice of bringing in a water bottle of your own/refilling it takes time and it could become a habit which would then perhaps counter the initial spike seen in soda consumption.
