So APC love Nigerians?

DO you really want to have diabetes, obesity, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, kidney disease, liver disease, nerve disease, stroke, etc...

All the above are complications of a lot of soft drinks....

Best to drink water, its cheaper and it works.

I'm trying to get rid of soft drinks from my life too.

Forget politics...

It's because you have never had to see your loved one die slowly from diabetes brought about by a lifetime of bad eating habits, including a lot of soft drinks.

I have. It's not funny.

Diabetes and Obesity are they the same?

Doesn't make sense because the price will be pushed to consumers and you're killing the industry if they have low patronage.

Nigerians are not obese , maybe they are taking their statistics from the very few 1 percent of the elite. 3 square meal na luxury, how we want take dey Fat.

Drink your coke, and fanta, and enjoy yourself, oga lexy2014. And enjoy the benefits of bad choices in your health, because you allow politics to rob you of common sense.

As for me, if it is OBi, tinubu or atiku or anyone else saying they would do this, I will support it.

Soft drinks is not healthy. Period. Cry about it. cheesy

For you to think that, it's only coke and fanta or only sweet drinks causes diabetes amazed me.

Have you ever seen a beer addict or a chronic ethanol drinkers?

These are just excuses. What concerns obesity with someone that is famished?

In a meta-analysis of 88 studies, we examined the association between soft drink consumption and nutrition and health outcomes. We found clear associations of soft drink intake with increased energy intake and body weight. Soft drink intake also was associated with lower intakes of milk, calcium, and other nutrients and with an increased risk of several medical problems (e.g., diabetes)
