Answer 2

Sugars and the effect on the youth with getting overweight. The school can't monitor what the students are drinking from the machines and some parents are sue-happy, others are concerned, and then there are those who could really give a rats-@$$. The US has such a high % of overweight teens, and most schools are just trying to do their part in trying to set an example and get the kids back in to shape.
Honestly, do you notice that no matter where you go that has eating facilities, soda is the drink most everyone is getting to go with their meal? It wasn't like that 30 years ago. Milk, juice, water, coffee, and tea were popular. Now it is soda-soda-soda wherever you go. I'll stick to my water. An occasional soda is ok now and then but some people just don't know when to stop the addiction! Does this help you any?

Body cant register soda calories as easy as eating a bag of mms. Soda with corn syrup has no nutritional value and the body doesn't have to burn calories to digest it. Soda on the other hand none of it occurs, and the body cant compensate soda calories like Candy Bar calories, and its proven in scientific studies. The body will adjust intake eating solids a lot more than liquids period its scientifically proven. Banning Soda drink be a good thing the government should not encourage obesity from Soda drinks. I would not be surprised a good percentage of weight gain alone is off Soda.

Answer 4

i think of this is excellent. i recently had gastric bypass sugery and my scientific expert would not permit me drink soda because of the fact it enlarges our abdomen, hence makes us prefer to consume extra, which ruins our danger to drop some weight. (nicely, I had the surgical treatment back in 2002 and have lost one hundred twenty pounds) besides, I now decrease myself to a million an afternoon as quickly as I get homestead from artwork. At artwork, I drink a bottle of water or 2, with that on the flow stuff from crystal mild. The soda additionally would not do good stuff on your tooth. i've got self assurance that colleges everywhere are taking it out of their cafeteria's, etc., no longer in basic terms in California, so don't experience so on my own. =)

Answer 5

Reporting in 'The Lancet', a British medical journal, a team of Harvard researchers presented the first evidence linking soda pop consumption to childhood obesity. They found that 12-year-olds who drank soda pop regularly were more likely to be overweight than those who didn't. For each additional daily serving of sugar-sweetened soda pop consumed during the nearly 2-year study, the risk of obesity increased 1.6 times.(1)

Tooth decay is one detrimental health effect of soda pop which even the soft drink industry admits to. In a carefully worded statement, the National Soft Drink Association claims that "there is no scientific evidence that consumption of sugars in soft drinks per se has any negative effect other than dental caries."

The active ingredient in most soda pop is phosphoric acid. The pH of most soda pop is 2.8, which is very acidic. As we discuss in detail in the body PH page, you want your diet to ALKALIZE your body, and ingesting a highly acidic drink like soda pop does the opposite and is very detrimental to your health. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
