Trenow: BUT the science says otherwise... The consumption of soft drinks was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes in a cohort of Mexican adults. Our results further support recommendations to limit soft drinks intake to address the growing diabetes epidemic in Mexico Sauce:Torres-Ibarra, L., Rivera-Paredez, B., Hernández-López, R. et al. Regular consumption of soft drinks is associated with type 2 diabetes incidence in Mexican adults: findings from a prospective cohort study.

This thread is the real x-ray of Nigeria. Now, you can see why people die young. This association is trying to save them, but they want to die prematurely by fire by force. Make una dey consume sugar. 1 Like |

1bunne4lif: Plenty of people are obese in Nigeria. Especially middle aged women, commonly known as Madam. There’s nothing wrong with increasing tax on poisonous sugary drink imported by foreign companies, I don’t understand what you people are complaining about. By the way, black people are genetically predisposed to diabetes type 2. So this should just be the first of many such measures The next one should be public announcement not to use a mountain of Eba to swallow a molehill of soup! |

Trenow:Sugar is sugar. Don't deceive yourself. And listen, these items of food you posted have fibre in them, so they are still very ok. But drinks don't have fibre to delay releasing sugar into your blood. Na gateway straight to diabetes. I dont know where you got this lie from. I wont argue with you...but see...I encourage you to drink soda. Na your die...no be mine. 1 Like |

Lovenorth: But even then, speaking as someone who has seen people dump their entire savings on treatment for diabetes and obesity, at the end of the day, the tax makes sense. It is sad people are hungry in Nigeria, but the hungery and poor people won;t be buying soft drinks anyway in the first place. Sometimes, we can clap for government when they make sane decisions. I so don';t like tinubu or pdp, or lp. But if na Obi making this decision , I would say the same thing. It costs money to treat the effects of soft drink consumption. Anything to prevent that is welcome. Even if it comes from the incompetent APC. 1 Like |

No be only obesity. Those drinking sugary drinks are mostly people doing high-intensity jobs. If you work inside sun from morning to night, tell me how sugar wan remain for your blood stream when you obviously need the energy. If you get money, and you cannot maintain your eating habit, then go and spend it in the hospital. Leave poor people that needs the drink alone. I drank coke for energy when I was doing labor work. Even now that my job is mostly thinking, I still need the extra sugar because the brain need a lot of energy. They don’t even affect my blood sugar level, talk less of obesity. 2 Likes 1 Share |
