Easily Overlooked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Dean L. Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is something unique about northern\nCalifornia voters who seemingly act on futuristic issues considerably more than\nsouthland social change advocates.  For\ninstance, the majority of folks living in the City of Berkeley significantly\ncut back on sugar laden sodas after the city introduced a tax on sugary\nbeverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In following up on the Berkeley\nconsumer\u2019s response to the tax, researchers found that in two low-income neighborhoods\nthat soda consumption dropped a notable 22% after Berkeley imposed a\npenny-per-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.  The city’s tax went into effect in May 2015,\nand made a 20-ounce bottle of Coke 20\u20a1 more expensive for distributors and\nstores, where such extra costs are passed on to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, this reduction in liquid\nsugar consumption has not had any positive effect on nearby Oakland and San\nFrancisco residents.  Where the same\nresearchers revealed how in places where there has been no sugar tax implementation\nsugary beverage consumption increased 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although similar laws have been proposed\naround the country and world, Berkeley is one of the few cities in the country\nto successfully pass a soda tax.  In July,\nPhiladelphia passed a tax increase of 1-\u00bd\u20a1 cents per ounce of sugar-added and\nartificially sweetened soft drinks.  Internationally,\nefforts have had more success, where soda taxes have passed in France, Hungary,\nand Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking sodas can often feel refreshing\nand unless there is a sort of tap on the shoulder to remind us about the\ndangers of consuming too much sugar we tend to neglect the numerous teaspoons\nof sugar going down.  Consequently, it is\neasy to overlook the amount of processed sugar eaten each day when there are no\nreminders or warnings stating where it may exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number foodstuff items we routinely consume\nare overlooked as containing processed sugar. \nBarbecue sauces average a couple of teaspoons of sugar per serving.  Fruit Yogurts range from 2 to 4 teaspoons of\nsugar per serving.  Traditional Chinese\ndishes commonly add 1 to 3 teaspoons of processed sugar to their tasty entrees.  Kung Pao Chicken uses on average 2-teaspoons of\nsugar per serving, but sweet and sour chicken dishes can have upwards to 5-teaspoons\nof sugar per serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pasta sauces are notoriously placing 3-teaspoons\nof sugar per serving.  One overlooked\narea comes with the so called healthy foodstuff items like dried fruit and\nGranola bars.  Just \u2153 cup of dried fruit\ncan have as much as 6-teaspoons of processed sugar and a granola bar contains\non average 3-teaspoons of processed sugar. \nThe sugar contents is not only the natural fructose that fruit contains,\nbut also these products have added processed sugar used as a preservative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, strokes, diabetes, and\nheart ailments are too common.  Thereby\nleading the question of \u201cwhat did the doctor say?\u201d  Which is followed by \u201cto exercise and be careful\nwhat foods and beverages to have,\u201d or in other words, live more SugarAlert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
