They are just obeying the WHO:

Because it ignores the impact on insulin and blood sugar levels of sugar.

If you eat bacon, your blood sugar does not go up. And you do not get addicted to it

Not so with sugar .

When the low fat diets were taught to people, the food industry pumped it up with sugar.

That is why nowadays kids have diabetes type two and non alcoholic fatty liver disease.

The high fructose corn syrup in coca cola is the worst offender in fatty liver disease .

> "It's calories in, calories out. If you eat more on a daily basis than you burn up, you gain weight.

This is the lie that Coca Cola popularized in the ad during the Super Bowl back in 1983 or 84.

Of course they had their own motives.

If they take away my Coca cola, I will get the Kool Aid recipe from birdiestrachan.

Not at the moment. They are just obeying the WHO, who said sugary beverages. Put it in the law but underneath the FOIA in a drawer somewhere.

Butter and cream are not a sin. Margarine is.

But right now, the WHO masters just say sugary beverages. Not candy, or fast food, or anything else.

Pay back the loans the govt took from National Insurance to waste in poorly built buildings.

> elimination of trans fats legislation

There goes Crisco and margarines. But that is in manufactured food.

Do you all ever fry stuff and see the oil smoking? Or grill meat brushed with barbecue sauce?
Or fry the onion in lard with tomato sauce to make peas and rice?
There, you have been making your own transfat.

> We’re talking to the industry to see how they’re able to lessen sugar in the ingredients for sodas etc and because the stats have shown that that is one of the significant contributors to non-communicable diseases, something that this country is struggling with as I speak.”

Well, Coca Cola will not allow their local franchise to reduce the sugar in their beverage, so this is a waste of time.

The food manufacturers are suing the FDA in the US, because of upcoming guidelines which would prevent the breakfast cereals and canned soups from using the word healthy on their label if they exceed sugar limits.

The soup called Healthy Choice has 21 grams of sugar per serving, that is the same as Coca-Cola.

The govt already charges 40% duty on imported beverages, their dilemma is that they do not wish to add 20% to that.

The issue of the sugar tax is also concerning, as it seems to be a trial baloon so that taxes can be added without a parliamentary route. More will follow.

I no longer buy sugary beverages, but wonder why there is not levy on potato chips. I suspect that would generate a potato chip riot.

Patients are often asked to even find blood donations for their own transfusion at the moment.
I can only imagine they will have to find their own organs.

That said, the dirvers and motorcyclist that crash into poles, being young, are an excellent choice for harvesting.

What is a climate friendly clinic?
Will they prescribe bush medicine?
