The point here is that an eight-year-old, 180-pound kid is drinking a 64-ounce Coke for breakfast and that should not happen, no matter who's in charge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217963475185024609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-67047179647370125822012-06-13T17:46:34.677-04:002012-06-13T17:46:34.677-04:00As a health care professional I am outraged by all...As a health care professional I am outraged by all this and all the anti-sugar hype. It is based on ignorance and a lack of real education in nutrition, etc. Sugar is a natural anti-acid and anti-inflammatory, despite being a processed substance. It is also more hydrating than plain water- especially juices and soft drinks. To restrict consumption or amount is unfair to the individuals that need the extra hydration. There are real genetic differences between people and for some, just drinking water isn't hydrating enough, as they don't retain water easily genetically and hence need the aid of juices and soft drinks to hold water. Internal hydration effects blood and plasma levels in the body. Sugar also "cools" body temperature and aids lowering hypertension and other inflammatory disorders. I see just as many skinny emaciated people in my practice with hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. We are a fat phobic nation.
