KEY POINTS
Sugary drink sales dropped 38% in Philadelphia after the city implemented a soda tax, according to a new study.
Philadelphia introduced a 1.5-cents-per-ounce tax on sweetened drinks on Jan. 1, 2017.
Some residents crossed city lines to buy soft drinks outside the city, partially offsetting what would have been an even steeper reduction, the University of Pennsylvania researchers found.
