Sweet-toothed people of the world unite! A study published in the June 2008 issue of the American Society for Nutrition analyzed 10 major studies and found that there is near zero association between sugar sweetened beverage consumption and body weight. this means that sugar sweetened beverages are not the causes of obesity. What is the truth behind the Myth? COuld a long term and complicated lifestyle disease such as obesity really be caused by a single type of beverage alone? of course not. heres why: The study entitled "Sugar sweetened beverages and body mass index in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis" stated, "the causes of obesity numerous and complex; involving genetic, psychological, social, environmental components. Ten relevant English articles correlating sugar-sweetened beverages (SB) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were reviewed. These studies were published between 1996 and 2006. the review of these studies showed that close to zero relations were found between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and increased BMI. The study then highlighted the true causes of obesity."Excess energy consumption will lead to weight gain. Dietary advice and education for children and adolescents should clearly communicate that SBs should only be consumed in moderation as part of a balance diet. Children and adolescents who are overweight are at risk of becoming overweight should identify all sources of excess calories and work to modify their diet and increase their physical activity. Obesity is a complex lifestyle disease brought about by many factors. Certainly, no one single type of food can be the cause of obesity. whats important is to maintain balance in life. Too much of anything is bad. Given this, there's no reason why your health shouldnt have balance either, a balance of what you need and what you enjoy to live a healthy lifestyle. Living healthy lifestyle is something that everyone can do.it just involves three keys of values; a balance diet, regular physical activity and proper hydration. Different foods give your body different things: protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. A balance diet means eating a wide variety of foods to give your body everything it needs to stay healthy and active. there are no 'junk foods' so to speak, only junk diets or bad combination of food and excessive eating. what's important is to maintain a balance between what you eat and how much calories you burn.
