Sugar Drinks And Obesity


Over the last 40 years in the United States we have seen a major spike in sugar drink consumption.  Do to the fact that people feel the need to drink an overwhelming amount of caffeine and sugar to keep them going.  In almost ever restaurant that you go to today you will find that they have free refills.  Because of this the average American consumes 350 to 500 calories more than they did in the 60’ and 70’s.  Studies have shown that if you are hungry drinking something will stop the urge to want to eat.  These studies were done with water not a 64 ounce big gulp of soda.  Sugar drinks are on the rise as well as are bellies.  I myself have the same struggles with sugar drinks.  Sometimes it just feels essay to drink a soda, Rockstar energy drink or a Carmel Macchiato. Remember if you are hungry don’t just drink a sugar drink try water or try to just drink less.
