A couple of years ago, the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota found that increased frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages consumption is associated with a more adverse abdominal adipose tissue deposition pattern. This appears to be one of the main causes of the famous muffin tops that the teen and twenty year olds are so proud to have.
Sugar sweetened sodas are the cause of overweight young adults.
The University of Minnesota, however, is not the only place that has confirmed that non-diet sodas are a main cause of overweight young adults.

Numerous hospitals in Massachusetts got together to jointly confirm that emerging evidence suggests that greater intake of sugar-sweetened beverages may be associated with abnormal fat accumulation in visceral adipose tissue. The MA Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University conducted a cross-sectional analysis using previously collected data in 2596 middle-aged adults and they found that daily consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages had a 10% higher absolute visceral adipose tissue volume and a 15% greater visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio compared with non consumers, whereas consumption of diet soda was not associated with either volume or distribution of visceral adipose tissue.
The greatest proportion of weight increase is seen among Non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American women.
