25,000 U.S. Deaths Linked to Sugary Drinks

So is breathing, as technically, every breath you take is one closer to your last breath...

That being said, it is not the governments responibility to make sure I only drink X amount of Soda a day/year/week/month, whatever.

If it wants to spend $$ on propaganda to convince me to stop drinking it, fine. if it tries to social engineer me by banning it, restricting it, or making assinine laws to discourage me from drinking them, then it can go to hell.

You can drink as much as you want. There is nothing wrong with getting people to think about the damage that they are doing to their bodies.

Then convince them with words, not by passing stupid regulations that are NOT the responsibility of government.

Convince me, don't force me.

I'm dead set against the passage of a law banning a particular size of soda but "convincing" will never do anything more than education.

People know that sugary soda is poison to humans. They also know that fatty, salty non-food is as well, not to mention cigarettes.

Education does nothing. Raising prices might help but really, Americans WANT to be fat, diabetics with lung cancer, and they want to get free treatment at the ER under the EMTALA law.

but of course you are for raising prices to get you want done..hey, so what it hurts those who can least afford it...Just like Obama raising the largest cigarette tax, we should just accept it was for the good of poor and didn't stop a damn thing...you see whats coming with ObamaCare, they can now tell you what you should eat or drink...oh well, you VOTED FOR IT
 
Out of a population of 300 million people, there is no way to attribute 25,000 individual deaths to a single commonly used product. The same claim could be made about water, or bread, or any other drink or food.

Harvard can't find anything else to do with all the money they get..

But we are supposed to be impressed when someone graduates from Harvard:eusa_whistle:

Opinions are just like assholes ...

Be that as it may, please post a link to the FACTS upon which you base your asshole, er, uh, I mean, opinion.

You might also want to read the original study, done by the AHA.
180,000 deaths worldwide may be associated with sugary soft drinks

Personally, I would really like to read the opposing side of this issue and I sincerely hope you will post what you base your opinion on.

"You can drink as much as you want. There is nothing wrong with getting people to think..."

With ya' 100% on this....

...it's when our Liberal friends add force, coercion, banning, over-regulation....which is their wont.....

...that's when we cease to be America.


Why do you continually try and make the case that it's only liberals doing it? Are you completely unaware of the health-Nazi actions of your precious conservatives, or would you just prefer everyone ignore that and believe the lie?

Case in point: Do you know what Gov. Mike Huckabee did in Arkansas? Let me help you out: At his behest, the legislature passed a law mandating "body awareness" teaching in KINDERGARTEN; the schools began measuring BMI and alerting parents that their kids might be "obese" and offering to send a school bureaucrat to their home to "help" with menu planning...and he put the state police to searching for people smoking in cars with kids.

How "conservative" is that?

(ps: Bobby Jindal sent the Louisiana State Police out with the same mission. And, OK Governor Mary Fallin banned tobacco use on state college campuses by EXECUTIVE ORDER!)

By Katie Moisse | ABC News – 8 hours agoABC News - 25,000 U.S. Deaths Linked to Sugary Drinks (ABC News)


In a study that's sure to shake up the soda ban debate, Harvard researchers have linked the sugary drinks to 180,000 deaths a year worldwide, 25,000 in the United States alone.

"We know that sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to obesity, and that a large number of deaths are caused by obesity-related diseases. But until now, nobody had really put these pieces together," said Gitanjali Singh, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and lead author of the study presented today at the American Heart Association's annual meeting in New Orleans.

Singh and colleagues spent five years putting the pieces together. Using data from national health surveys around the world, the team tied sugar-sweetened beverages to 133,000 deaths from diabetes, 44,000 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 6,000 deaths from cancer in 2010.

The study adds to mounting evidence that sugar-sweetened beverages, loaded with calories that carry little nutritional value, are a public health hazard.

By all means, please don't let anyone stop you from drinking all the soda you can hold.

Just don't go crying when yoo're asked to pay higher health insurance premiums because you're a wreck.

Using the bully pulpit is a legitimate function of government...."offering to send a school bureaucrat to their home to "help" with menu planning..."


Fines and bans are the method of choice of liberals.

Are you really unable to see the difference.


You down with this:

"A pre-school in North Carolina has created a stir around the country after it was reported that officials forced a child to eat a school lunch and billed the parent because her lunch brought from home did not meet school standards for nutrition.
The incident happened at the West Hoke Elementary school in Raeford. According to the North Carolina Journal, the four year old student’s mother, who wants to remain anonymous, had prepared a lunch for her daughter consisting of a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, apple juice and potato chips.
The mother said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” to school would be offered the missing portions and parents would be charged for the lunch."
Food police confiscate 4-year old?s lunch, bill parents :: Northern Colorado Gazette

Rumor has it that Obama is a Liberal.....any truth to that?

But if $arah's doing it, it can't be bad for you to guzzle huge amounts of sugar -

"Full Figured","Well Fed", and “Built For Comfort Not Speed”

cute to you I guess

Not cute to me. Actually, the image is part of a series I created whose aim is to discourage the consumption of obesity causing food and drink. Here is another one:

"Kick the Soft Drink Habit!"
Note that the soft drink delivery man in the image is also a bit on the chubby side.
 
First they came for my Big Gulp...

Then they came for the Joos

Personally, I would take that as a ringing endorsement, Bill.
