Overweight Nation

The #1 Culprit

If you are overweight and looking for long term weight loss then make sure to completely stop the use of soft drinks as they aren't soft on your health.

A recent study has revealed that soft drinks contribute more to becoming overweight in comparison to other food products or junk food. So to live a healthy and wealthy life, stop consumption of sugar sweeted, aerated drinks. This simple step will open the gates of long lasting weight loss for you.

An extra bottle of soda a day can put on 15 pounds extra on your body in a single year and the weight of evidence strongly suggests that this sort of increased consumption is a key reason that more people have become increasingly overweight, the researchers say. "We tried to look at the big picture rather than individual studies," and it clearly justifies public health efforts to limit sugar-sweetened beverages, said Dr. Frank Hu.

He and others at the Harvard School of Public Health reviewed 40 years of nutrition studies that met strict standards for relevance and scientific muster. The work was funded by ongoing grants to his lab from the federal government and the American Heart Association.

Soft drink trends have marched lock-step with the growing obesity epidemic, but industry groups have long fought efforts to say one directly caused the other. Not all studies conclude that beverages are at fault, and the new analysis ignored some that would have discounted such a link, the American Beverage Association in a recent statement issued in response to the study. "Blaming one specific product or ingredient as the root cause of obesity defies common sense."

"Instead, there are many contributing factors, including regular physical activity," says a statement from the group's senior science consultant, Richard Adamson.

Some studies suggest that pure fructose fails to spur production of insulin, which is needed to process calories, or leptin, a substance that helps regulate appetite.

If you are living with an aim for weight loss that finally define the success path for sweet and cherished vital stats then open this path as soon as possible by stopping consumption of aerated drinks better known as soft drinks.
