Kids are drinking too much soda, which can lead to severe health hazards
One in four adults and one in three high school students have one or more sugary drinks per day, according to the New York Department of Health. To combat this scourge, the organization has announced a new media campaign, featuring a man confused by the difference between a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of soda.
"Like cigarettes, sugary drinks are bad for our health and can have long-term consequences," said health commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot. "Through this campaign, we hope all New Yorkers will understand that, while sugary drinks may be sweet going down, their impact on our health is not."

Fruit juices have even more sugar than soda does.
One more reason I wouldn’t even go to ny to throw up.
Ruh Roh! No more 30 oz cans. No larger that 8 oz cans. But, “Shhhhhh”. Don’t tell them you’ll buy 2. Just when you think you’ve seen the last of fidiocracy.......
Nanny state feces.
After this and the latest from Hizonor da mayor, can we just build a wall around Manhatten Island?
Gonna ban them? Isn’t that why you’re telling us?
How will they ever tax them heavily if they are banned?
[[Sugary drinks are as dangerous as cigarettes]]
Who the heck cares? Deblah blah blah has given everyone free healthcare
I never drink soda.....but I drink about 6 cups of coffee each day with two teaspoons of sugar = 12 tsp sugar x 15 cal = 180 calories. I’m 75 and luckily...no meds....BP 110/65 5’4” & 116 lbs
hey! You're not supposed to let that out. can't anybody keep a secret anymore?
There are about three states where the media depicts that represent the entire United States, like New York, Washington DC, and California.
That’s all they pay attention too, and they way they report on them is, “whatever is happening in those states, is the way it is all over America.”.
Most of us in the rest of the country want nothing to do with those liberal strongholds, and were it not for the likes of CNN, and other liberal propaganda machines, we wouldn’t know a thing about any of it.
About mid-2015, I swore off all television news, including FOX...I am happier, and more calm than I ever was. In fact, I’ve sworn off most television, as even the sitcoms are extensions of liberal news and agenda.
While a wonderful invention, television has turned into a factor of control for the ignorant. Listening to the TV heads will lower IQ’s by a lot. Counting on a dressed up personality behind a microphone to tell the truth is futile.
Hairspray and mascara does not a wise person make, and the ability to read with a all-caps smile does not increase credulity.
Turn it off, and be a happier person for it.
Sugar may not qualify as a health food, but if its more dangerous than cigarettes, that just makes me think we should allow smoking in all public places: smoking obviously isn't dangerous at all. Right??
Depends on which product has a bigger lobbying organization.
What about blunts and forty malts?
Exactly. Follow the Money!
ugary drinks are as dangerous as cigarettes
I say it this way: In america, a bad diet kills a lot more people than cigarettes does.
Yet self mutilation and hormone blockers for kids are aok
they are worse
This is TMI, but I don’t care.
I just finished a five day fast. Nothing but water and coffee, and mineral supplements. The results were great but I experienced something I never expected:
I’m 65 and have gotten used to getting up to go to the bathroom 3-4 times a nite. It’s just life as an old person - I thought.
Since the fast, I sleep through the night, no problem.
This is, for me, huge.
