Community News Article: Mountain Dew

Resumen:
This article discusses how in the Appalachian areas of the United States children as young as 6 month are given this high-sugar, highly caffeinated cheap soda to drink called Mountain Dew. This may be because Mountain Dew is cheaper than milk. Parents are allowing far too much caffeine in their systems which cause potential bone damages and mailing causing teeth to rot in the toddlers as young as age two. Lemon and Lime drinks are very damaging to the teeth and Mountain Dew has both. Citric acid is in a lot of lemon or lime- flavored beverages and all carbonated beverages have phosphoric acid that which erode the teeth.

    Sugar Is Not Sugar: the Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup

    Every one has seen the infamous TV commercial with the young couple sitting in a park on a blanket, innocently sharing a Popsicle made out of High Fructose Corn Syrup. The female offers her male cohort a portion of the frozen treat, responding to his hesitance with the disreputable claim hosted by the corn industry, “sugar is sugar.” Ironic, this commercial enticing the general public to accept the ill-fated ingredient of High Fructose Corn Syrup, is the epitome of Eve offering Adam the apple in The Garden of Eden. High Fructose Corn Syrup has seemed to invade even the most discrete products in the current day kitchen. Hiding in ketchup, soups, and meats, to name only a few, this overused sweetener has wreaked havoc on the American people; much less the unfortunate, overweight, diseased, diabetic rats that fell victim to its studies. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a man made, chemically altered, and potentially neurotoxic byproduct, largely at fault for our nation’s health epidemics of obesity diabetes and cardiac disease, but if eradicated from our diet the sequelae of its morbid effects could be alleviated.…

    Effects of Soda On The Body

    From 1985 to 1997, school districts decreased the amount of milk they bought by nearly thirty percent and increased purchases of soda by one-thousand and one-hundred percent. (Roberts) About fifty-six to eighty-five percent of school age children consume at least one soft drink daily. (Roberts) Children these days are not getting enough calcium, mainly because of the large consumption of soft drinks. Instead of grabbing a glass of milk, most kids, teens and adults would rather drink soda. The effects of the preservatives and artificial sweeteners can break down the enamel on your teeth, making them prone to rotting. The reason that most people who drink to much soda have or are more prone to rotting teeth, cavities, etc., is because sugary drinks coat you teeth, gums and tongue for hours after you drink them, and most people don’t rinse or brush their teeth right after drinking soda. (Anne) When tooth decay starts to reach the nerve, the root, and the area at the base of the tooth, the tooth may die and, if let untreated, an abscess can develop. (Term Life Insurance) Drinking soda through a straw can help prevent corroding your teeth because the beverage goes straight into the back of your throat. (Anne) Soda has a pH of 2.5 to 3.0, or around…

    Soda is bad for you

    Almost all pop has some sort of sugar or high fructose corn syrup in it; this is known to damage teeth. “The sugar in carbonated soft drinks is a primary source for cavities. Bacteria in your mouth feed on sugar and make an acid that dissolves tooth enamel” says Dentist Howard S. Glazer.

    Aspartame

    “Diet Coke does not contain nasty chemicals. It contains lovely and delicious carbonation, caffeine, and aspartame. What's unnatural about that?” Meg Cabot. This chapter was based on Power and Wealth. The article that I did my paper was about Aspartame. These two subjects connect because the individuals who drink the Diet Coke are getting fooled by the big companies that are selling it to them. The power elite are selling false hopes and false products, so people will buy their inventory, which in turn only profits the companies, and give them more substantial power. People in this country have strayed from what Mother Nature provides as sweet and delightful. The consumption of fruits was once gratifying enough to quench the curiosity of the sweet tooth without consequence. Nowadays people don’t have the time to eat organic foods and instead opted for the convenience of mass-produced, heavily processed and nutrient deprived fast foods and beverages. Most of these factory produced food products today are extremely sugary. That sugariness is a contributing factor to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity and tooth decay. This all leads to one ingredient and that ingredient is artificial sweeteners.…

    Essay On Addiction To Drinking Soda

    In the United States, drinking soda is no longer a fad: it is an addiction. Despite the rising medical problems in our country, Americans refuse to reduce their consumption of soda. Whether soda consumers choose to deny links between soda and health risks or ignore them, it is unfortunate that these consumers are oblivious to how serious of a problem drinking soda truly is. Regardless of what companies who produce the drink claim, soda is a dangerous liquid and is harmful to the human body. It is linked to greater weight gain, higher amounts of body fat, and an increased risk of heart disease and Type II diabetes. Health problems in the United States will continue to grow if Americans do not decrease their soda consumption.…

    Coca Cola

    Throughout its enduring reign as an industry leader, Coca-Cola has acquired a sufficient amount of its revenue from CSD sales. According to Dr.Harber (2010), “ New federal nutrition guidelines, issued in 2005, identified regular CSDs as the largest source of obesity-causing sugars in the American diet”. Schools in New York City, throughout California, and elsewhere banned the sales of soft drinks on their premises(Dr.Harber, 2010). This was a tremendous issue that threatened the success of future sales of soft drinks all over the region. The United States obesity rate has continued to rise over the years and more people are now becoming involved in trying to eat and drink healthier. Companies such as McDonalds and Wendys have observed this fact and now offer several healthy items on their menu. Furthermore, the widespread linkage of CSDs with obesity and other health-related concerns was hard to disperse from people’s minds (Dr.Harber, 2010). Coca-Cola knew something had to be done, which led to the search for alternative beverages.…

    Should Energy Drinks Be Limited Essay

    Overconsumption of energy drinks can lead to caffeine intoxication, which can then lead to heart palpitations, hypertension, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, psychosis, and in rare cases, death. Energy drink company's main marketing focus is to kids, even though the energy drink companies know the harm that the drinks cause on the youth. Although the caffeine from energy drinks provides a quick boost in energy to the consumer, the consumer will crash later in the day from a drop in blood sugar, and if the person consumes these drinks every day in severe cases energy drinks can cause death due to cardiac arrest. Energy drinks should have laws against them to protect the consumer, especially children, from the harmful effects that energy drinks can…

    why energy drinks should be banned

    Energy drink companies should label everything a lot better, because having them hide some of the ingredients isn’t something id like to let my kids use. Less people would drink them if they new what all was in the products. Most of there products have over 1,600mg of sugar in it , that’s equal to one in a half to two bags of sugar. Putting all this sugar into these drinks and having kids consume them causes the kids to become hyperactive whenever they consume the product. If these kids keep drinking these drinks they will cause them self to get diabetes, after drinking the energy drinks for a long period of time.Considering the challenge of being sued for there product the companies try and change the topics to the family. When the companies blame the family for there family members death. The energy drink…
