According to CandyUSA.com, a survey conducted by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association showed that 50 percent of women are likely give a gift of chocolate to a guy for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, not everyone can indulge in Valentine’s Day chocolate. For those with diabetes or sensitivities to sugar, chocolate indulgence is limited to sugar-free varieties which often lack richness and flavor. Other dietary restrictions such as Celiac disease and religious guidelines can limit the treats that you can enjoy on Cupid’s day. And as delicious as chocolate is, it often packs excessive amounts of sugar, derailing diets and causing dental decay – definitely not something you want to wish on your loved one!

banning certain foods is really stupid. ya know, coffee contains caffeine, as does tea, and caffein is harmful to young bodies... guess they need ban that too! Oh, I am a diabetic and I know that most sugarfree sodas will raise my blood sugar, so forget that myth. If the blood sugar is raised, the fat storage hormone, insulin, is also increased and the body then stores it's calories as fat.
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way, as I learned from the writes who write my essay for me, caronated drinks (including waters, wines, etc.) all contain carbonation which turns into carbonic acid. That is why if you are subject to UTIs you should never drink anything that is carbonated. It also eats away the enamel, as the article mentions (and it causes the urinary track to become an open sore from the acid, thereby becoming open to infection).
The point is that banning any drink, whether soda pop, tea, coffee or alcohol does not work, as they discovered with Prohibition... don't work folks, you can't be a Nanny state to the country and think that will work. I mean, we already tried this "experiment" and found it did not work but did cause crime. How long till they would have a black market on sugary things like they did on alcohol???? Not improbable ya know.
great article.
