American Journal of Public Health: The Unintended Consequences of Changes in Beverage Options and the Removal of Bottled Water on a University Campus, Elizabeth R. Berman, BS, and Rachel K. Johnson, PhD, MPH, RD:
Results. Per capita shipments of bottles, calories, sugars, and added sugars increased significantly when bottled water was removed. Shipments of healthy beverages declined significantly, whereas shipments of less healthy beverages increased significantly. As bottled water sales dropped to zero, sales of sugar-free beverages and sugar-sweetened beverages increased.
