    Very few "sugary" drinks are sweetened with real sugar. Please name a few for me. Most "sugary" drinks are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. As we know, artificial sweeteners have many risks as well. Some feel that moderate use of drinks sweetened with real sugar may be the best choice.

  2. What is your view on stevia? I do not notice any mention of it. Not an artificial sweetener, it is derived from a herb and it actually has beneficial properties, over a half dozen health benefits including reduced blood pressure and better BSL control. It's been used by billions of people in China for the past 30 years and is 100 times as sweet as sugar with a liquorice after taste. I substituted my sugar with this and I noticed improved energy levels in the first week.

    300 x 365 = 109,500

    Where did the 7 trillion come from? Is it the total of calories from sugary beverages by all kids age 2 – 19? Its kind of misleading as it isn’t explained where that number comes from.
