The study noted&nbsp;that among U.S. preschoolers, total caloric intake fell by 132 calories per day, with intake of beverages falling by 55 calories per day between 2003 and 2012. Major contributors to the decline in calories were declines in sugar-sweetened beverages (including soft drinks and juice drinks) and higher-fat milk.<\/p>\n<p>These changes in preschoolers&#8217; intake suggest progress, however the authors encourage caution as the study also found some possible evidence of &nbsp;the trend changing, and calorie consumption increasing between 2009-2012, although these changes were not statistically significant.
