Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006For Regular Soda I could see this!
I could certainly see this with regular sugared soda. ------------------------------------- Scientist Calls For Warnings, Tax On Soda Soda Industry, Researcher Face Off On Obesity Debate A fight is brewing between health researchers and the beverage industry over whether a warning should be put on soda. University of North Carolina scientist Barry Popkin is pushing for a warning label for sodas and linking their consumption to obesity. He said the nation got heavier at the same rate soda became more popular. Kevin Keane of the American Beverage Association said it's unfair to hold one product responsible for the nation's obesity problem. He said children are much less active now than a few years ago. Popkin is also in favor of a soda tax, such as the one on tobacco. He said studies involving the links of soda and obesity are at the same stage as studies on tobacco and health problems several years ago, when those warnings were issued. Keane said linking soda consumption with smoking cigarettes is "absolutely ridiculous." Cause Sugared soda stresses out the pancreas a lot faster than any fattening food such as fried chicken or hamburgers due to the pure content. At least fat slows down the digestion......... >I could certainly see this with regular sugared soda. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Keane said linking soda consumption with smoking cigarettes is "absolutely > ridiculous." >>I could certainly see this with regular sugared soda. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> warning label for sodas and linking their consumption to obesity. He said >> the nation got heavier at the same rate soda became more popular. On a box of staples I opened the other day there was a warning label that states: "Staples have sharp points. Keep out of reach of children" There are warnings on take out cups that coffee is hot. There are warnings on curling irons not to use while sleeping. Warning labels are usually the result of lawsuits from what I can tell. Is there a movement a-foot to sue soft drink companies for people over indulgling and getting overweight as a result, like the attempted lawsuit against fast food for people eating it regularly and getting obese? I understand that labeling for health purposes -- example keep iron supplements AWAY from children (accidental overdose can kill) alcohol consumption in pregnancy can cause serious problems for a fetus. These are things that the average person may truly not be aware of. But Beware: over consumption of this calorie laden beverage can result in you becoming overweight? I reckon common sense isn't that common anymore. :: Cause Sugared soda stresses out the pancreas a lot faster than any :: fattening food such as fried chicken or hamburgers due to the pure :: content. At least fat slows down the digestion......... Why are fried chicken and/or hamburgers fattening? Are you sure that sugared soda will stress out any pancreas? > Cause Sugared soda stresses out the pancreas a lot faster than any > fattening food such as fried chicken or hamburgers due to the pure > content. At least fat slows down the digestion......... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1 2688627&dopt=Abstract "Acute and chronic effects of different concentrations of free fatty acids on the insulin secreting function of islets. CONCLUSION: FFAs slightly increased the insulin output of normal fresh pancreas beta-cells. However, chronic exposure to FFAs resulted in loss of first phase insulin release and blunted insulin secretion response to various levels of D-glucose stimulation." Well then who's to blame for Obese people who have always drank diet Soda? The reason people get fat is because they eat to much of everything they eat......I am one of them fighting the beast daily. >I could certainly see this with regular sugared soda. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Keane said linking soda consumption with smoking cigarettes is "absolutely > ridiculous." |
