Sugar Blues.

Obesity is not a disease. It is only a symptom, a sign, a warning that your body is out of order. Dieting to lose weight is as silly and dangerous as taking aspirin to relieve a headache before you know the reason for the headache. Getting rid of a symptom is like turning off an alarm. It leaves the basic cause untouched.

Share a stroke cough— Coke with a friend.

Nearly 80% of adults drink at least one sugar‑sweetened beverage (SSB) per day—and over 60% of children do too. On average, adults get 145 kcal/day (10% of total calories) and kids even more from SSBs daily.

Frequent consumption of SSBs like Coke is associated with:

  1. Obesity & weight gain
  2. Type 2 diabetes
  3. Heart disease & elevated blood pressure
  4. Non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease
  5. Kidney disorders, cavities & gout
  6. Should we keep going?

Ultra‑processed options—including sodas—are linked to ~500 extra calories daily.
