Just one can…

August 10th, 2009

Hi, Everyone –

There was an interesting article in the New York Times yesterday that highlights yet another American dieting pitfall – sugar. Apparently, we all love our sweets a little too much, especially when it comes to sodas and sweet drinks. Only one can of soda per day exceeds the recommended daily sugar intake. According to Dr. George Bray of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of Louisiana State University, “the current epidemic of obesity could be explained by the consumption of an extra 20-ounce soft drink each day.”

Soda can be detrimental to your diet, so quit drinking those empty calories and kick the habit! How many cans per day do you drink? Also, if you have any suggestions on how to help others quit, please let us know!
