Liquid Candy On the Defense in a Court Near You?
An impending lawsuit has the U.S. soft drink industry battling
claims that it bears a significant amount of the blame for
America's youth obesity epidemic.
An Attractive Nuisance
Lawyers, some of them veterans of lawsuits against the tobacco
industry, are gearing up to claim that soda firmsthat fill
school vending machines are selling deliberately harmful
products to youth.
The case will be based on the notion that school vending
machines are an "attractive nuisance" -- the same concept used
to make landowners fence in swimming pools, which could pose a
danger to nearby children.
Liquid Candy
Advocates for the beverage industry have already launched a
counteroffensive, calling the idea "ridiculous." But the public
health advocacy group The Center for Science in the Public
Interest (CSPI), countered that soda was "liquid candy" and
called for cigarette-style health warnings on cans. CSPI said
research showed teenagers consume an average of two to three
cans of soda per day in the United States.
60 Percent With Each Serving
The percentage of overweight children in the United States has
tripled since 1980. A 2001 study in the medical journal "The
Lancet" revealed that with each additional serving of soda, a
12-year-old increased the chance of obesity by 60 percent.
Yahoo News December 14, 2005
Dr. Mercola's Comment:Soft drink manufacturers were hoping that
the recent 24 percent plunge in non-diet soda sales in America's
public schools and voluntary guidelines for reducing a child's
exposure to high-calorie sugary drinks would be enough to
forestall a huge lawsuit, the likes of Big Tobacco's
multi-billion-dollar settlements with 46 states.
I wouldn't bet the farm on it, however, with the Center for
Science in the PublicInterest partly behind the effort.
Although none of the protagonists are talking specifics, look
for a lawsuit to be filed in Massachusetts, a state with strong
consumer protection laws, sometime next year.
A possible problem with any sort of settlement, should one ever
come: A ridiculously high number of public schools -- including
75 percent of our nation's high schools -- make easy money
selling these sugary, health-harming
drinks to your kids.
Fact is, the debatable "windfall" from lawsuits can never
compensate you or your family enough when it comes to your
health. Here are some other reasons why you want to minimize
your intake of soda:- Phosphoric Acid: May interfere with
your body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to
osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones. Phosphoric
acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach,
which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to
utilize nutrients.
- Sugar: Soft drink manufacturers are
the largest single user of refined sugar in the United
States. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin
levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many
more negative side effects.
- Caffeine: Caffeinated
drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular
heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and
mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some
forms of cancer.
Don't think for a moment, though, that you can slip in diet
soda to replace regular soda, as that is a definite move in the
wrong direction.
As strange as it may seem after my extensive warnings about
soda, I am absolutely convinced that diet sodas are actually
worse than regular soda.Not too long agoI ran a study that
showed consuming diet sodas actually doubles your risk of
developing obesity.
Plus, artificial sweeteners used in diet soda, like
Splenda® and NutraSweet®, pose major risks to your
health.
Pure water is your best option for a beverage. One of the
easiest things you can do for the good of your family's health
and your own is to give up sodas and replace them with clean
fresh water.
