A Bathtub Full of Sugar

A Bathtub Full of Sugar

Who won’t read this medical tip? Children. Who must read it? Parents and grandparents. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recently used this graphic bathtub image to get the message across. That children are drinking a bathtub full of sugar a year! The Centers for Disease Control reports that one in five North American children are obese. This means they’re headed for adult obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and heart attack. Children simply do not realize they’re literally “sugarizing” themselves to an earlier death. Parents and grandparents should explain to them of the dangers of sugary drinks, not just colas, but also fruit juice. You, not the government, must be held responsible for the ultimate care of your children.                 `
