New York Reverses Soda Size Decision
Dear
A recent move to curb obesity rates in New York City was struck down by a judge yesterday, allowing city residents to continue slurping down sugary sodas.
The new law that would limit selling non-diet soda in containers larger than 16 ounces (roughly a half liter) was supposed to come into effect today.
Championed by the city's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the new law was aimed at reducing obesity rates in children and the adult population by attempting to control sugar intake. The high levels of sugar found in soda are thought to be a large contributor to the country's obesity problem and more specifically, to childhood obesity. Sugar-laden products like soda contribute to a number of health problems including diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, cancer, hypertension, blindness, and obesity.
A 32-ounce "Big Gulp" of "Coca-Cola" from 7-Eleven, for example, has 364 calories and 91 grams of sugar. A 44-ounce Big Gulp contains 512 calories and 128 grams of sugar. In both, the entire calorie count is provided by the sugar. Just how much sugar is that? Well, the American Heart Association recommends men limit their added sugar intake to 36 grams per day, with a maximum of 25 grams a day for women, while additional recommendations say sugary sodas should be limited to 32 ounces per week. Furthermore, some studies have actually shown that the sugars added to soda contribute even more to weight gain than other sugar sources found in solid food!
When it comes to obesity, weight gain, and chronic diseases, there is no denying that sugary soda is one of the worst offenders. And although the Bloomberg law may, as some have argued, infringe upon one's right to consume what they want, I don't believe this is the issue at play. The facts are that soda-and too much of it-is extremely bad for you, especially when being consumed in such large amounts. In this particular case, the law is based on strong research that shows that too much sugar can kill you. As much as some may hate to admit it, the decision was made with the health of the population in mind. It's like having an age restriction on cigarettes, alcohol, and driving a vehicle.
Some may be asking how drinking a 32-ounce soda could possibly harm somebody and if it does, then it's their own choice. But I ask you to consider the large cost to individuals and society. For example, there are almost 26 million diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults and children in America. Collectively, treating these cases costs over $245 billion. Now, keep in mind that these numbers only include diagnosed cases, meaning that far more people are walking around undiagnosed, resulting in a greater sum being spent to treat them. The costs associated with these people are also estimated to be in the billions. How does that affect you? It creates longer wait times at hospitals, fewer hospital beds, less availability of drugs to treat the disease, higher insurance premiums, and a much greater cost to society at large.
In my opinion, this law made sense and it's unfortunate to see it struck down only a day before it was to be instituted. The results would've been quite interesting, possibly paving the way to a healthier America.
In health,
Helen Martyre
