Olá amigos, novamente seu trombeteador do DDM e amigo nas horas de solidão para te perguntar: Coca-cola adiciona vida? Esta é a nossa lição dessa semana no Blog, seja bem vindo.
Se for preciso Coca-Cola para melhorar o sabor da sua pizza, seu pizza iolo deveria estar fazendo coxinhas, pois apenas coxinha e quibe vão bem com essa porcaria. Coca-Cola pode te ajudar a destruir seus dentes, afinal, pra que dentes não é mesmo, podemos colocar dentadura e está tudo OK.
Claro também temos o incremento de peso, mas isso você já deve estar ciente, certo?
Aqui vemos um rapaz extremamente feliz, tomando um banho de ácido doce, é daí que vem o azedinho/doce que você compra pro seu filho, eis a fábrica.
Todo esse açúcar contido nessas bebidas, já teria sido banido há muitos anos não fosse pelo incessante lobbying que as companhias de bebidas fazem com os governantes e seus advogados de forma a tornar sua vida “melhor”, na Inglaterra, e apenas na Inglaterra todas as bebidas açucaradas tem 30% menos açúcar que das mesmas bebidas existentes no resto do mundo. Não pense que lá as coisas funcionam, funcionariam se esses venenos parassem de ser vendidos. Mas e os empregos, certo? E muitos gostam de beber isso, então, fazer o que?
Mother Jones uma revista em que seria ótimo trabalhar descreve todos os tamanhos de bebidas açucaradas e seus preços e acreditem, elas só vem crescendo, dia após dia, e os preços aumentando na mesma proporção e se você fizer uma experiência, nada segura, e beber Coca-Cola todos os dia, em 10 anos, terá perdido todos os seus dentes, acredite, isso já foi tentado, sorte para protético.
E não se preocupe em trocar de marca de bebida, todas vão fazer o mesmo “bem” para a sua saúde.
Então o que fazer? Simples, leia o script da lição e entenda, porque beber esse veneno pode literalmente acelerar seu envelhecimento, tanto como outras bebidas como o próprio alcohol (não importa qual), café, leite e mesmo suco de frutas. Coma as frutas, não faça sucos. Bom, fique com o script da lição e cuide-se, sua saúde é muito importante!
DDM 450 – Does Coke Add Life? Part II
Now, let’s talk about the sugar…
There are nine grams of sugar in every 100 grams of the drink. In a 12-ounce can of Coke there are 39 grams of sugar. But we all know how much people like to overdose on Coke. A 7-Eleven Big Gulp of Coke contains 91 grams of sugar—almost double the recommended daily dose. A Super Gulp contains 146 grams of sugar and a Double Gulp; 186 grams of sugar. A large Coke at McDonald’s contains about 77 grams of sugar.
Drinks got so big that New York created the Sugary Drinks Portion Cap Rule. But that didn’t affect 7-Eleven’s monstrous portions. It only applied to restaurants which were prohibited from serving sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces. No surprise, the sugar drink conglomerates opposed the bill stating that poor income families would lose out on those great deals. You could of course splurge and buy three separate drinks.
According to Mother Jones, the biggest drinks out there are these in order: 7-Eleven Team Gulp at 128 fluid ounces, HuMUGous Kum and Go at 100 ounces. The Beast’s Arco at 85 ounces and KFC’s Mega Jug at 64 ounces. That would mean one Team Gulp is 10.6 cans of Coke or 415 grams of sugar. That is more than eight times more sugar than what doctors say is safe to consume each day.
Maybe if you just drank Coke and nothing else you might consume that amount, but what effect would it have on the body?
Maybe we can imagine a zombie apocalypse and you are locked in a Coke warehouse and there’s nothing but stock. As you can imagine, your teeth would soon start to rot. The acid content in the Coke would destroy the enamel on your teeth and the sugar would soon lead to cavities. The calories you consumed would be less than the recommended 2,000 if you drank 10.6 cans of Coke at 150 calories a can, but still the contents would hurt you. According to one health website, all that high fructose corn syrup you are consuming would start to increase fat on your liver. It also said you would be at risk of getting cardiovascular disease.
Believe it or not, one super-fit guy from Los Angeles named George Pryor actually drank 10 cans of Coke every day for 30 days. He did eat other things, too, though. After his binge, the British press said he put on 28 pounds. From being slim he developed love handles, a pot belly and man boobs. He also said his blood pressure went up from 129 over 77 to 145 over 96. His conclusion, I think there are a lot of people suffering health problems like diabetes and heart disease aren’t aware they could help themselves by just stopping sugar. He also admitted that the big corporations and their lobbying arms would be hard to stop.
Back to our Coke-binge. According to some experts at Yale University, “We’d start aging rapidly as well as putting on pounds and losing teeth.” The same study says that we’d feel really hungry all the time as sweet tastes increase appetite. We might even start gnawing at the crates in the warehouse. Weight gain would be definite.
Studies have shown that one fifth of America’s famous obesity epidemic is from people just drinking too many sugary drinks. Another article explains that one woman drank two liters of soda every day and no water at all for 16 years. Her addiction put her in the hospital at the age of just 31. She was suffering from arrhythmia, fainting spells and potassium deficiency. You can only imagine what our Coke-only diet would do to us.
Research has shown that just reducing the amount of sugar in drinks could prevent over a million cases of obesity. What does the World Health Organization say about this? “We have solid evidence that keeping intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake reduces the risk of overweight, obesity and tooth decay,” said the WHO’s Department of Nutrition for Health and Development in 2015.
Things could soon change, but sugar politics is a big deal and in the end; the bottom line is more important than your health, say most critics. The sugar industry has spent $54 million lobbying in the last eight years. Well, in the UK politicians knew this and tried to come up with a way to reduce obesity in the country by taxing sugar higher.
This hasn’t come in yet, but already drinks manufacturers have begun reducing the sugar in their drinks in the UK by as much as 50% because of this. Coke was one of those companies, but the 30% sugar reduction will only happen in the UK, according to CNN. So, how much soda do you drink in a day? Will this video get you to reduce your intake?
Isso é tudo por hoje pessoal, mas não se esqueça, beba o que quiser mas saiba que há um custo para isso.
E juntos, LET’S MASTER ENGLISH!
