The negatives far outweigh the positives in chocolate production in the Ivory Coast. Chocolate as we all know and love it, is a sweet food that had originally been a bitter drink for the Europeans.…

    Looking at the truthful studies, it’s sufficiently coherent that sugary drinks pose a threatening risk on the consumers health. “The scientific consensus today is that consuming too much sugar causes high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, heart disease, and obesity.” (Smith) Soda enterprises have tried to hide these consequences by blaming the entire weight of these health concerns like obesity and high blood pressure on fat filled foods. There is of course truth in fat heavy diets being a unhealthy decision but it doesn’t make soft drinks any more healthy.

    According to the American Heart Association, drinking just one bottle of soda puts one over the recommended daily limit of sugar (Bittman). Unfortunately, many soda consumers will drink more than one soda per day, further putting their health at risk from the large intake of sugar. In a meta-analysis, soda consumption intake was associated with an increase in weight and a lower intake of milk, calcium and other key nutrients. This ultimately places one at risk for several medical problems such as diabetes (Vartanian). The high glycemic load from the sugar in soda increases the insulin resistance of cells, therefore increasing the risk for diabetes (Brownell).…

    Sugar is a story full of money, work, and lost lives. The story begins in 326 B.C. with Nearchus, a captain in the army of Alexander the Great, that stumbles upon the "sweet reed". Sugar cane originated in New Guinea in 9000-8000 B.C., but Nearchus is recognized as the first person to discover sugar cane. From New Guinea, sugar spread to North India (1000-500 B.C.), China (200 A.D.), Persia- Judi Shapur (500 A.D.), Egypt (700 A.D.), and Hawaii (1100 A.D).

    Around sixty-seven percent of the people across the country believe schools should offer only nutritious drinks, such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice, to students. I strongly agree that adding nutritious beverages to school lunches is a logical and reasonable idea. To begin with, when products are locally sourced, the local economy around the school will also receive a boost. Also, when a parent of a school student sends their child, or children, to school, they should not have the need to worry about the things that their kid may drink.…

    In her article “Is Sugar Really THAT Bad For Us?” Jordanna Levin addresses the negative effects of fructose, including weight gain, a risk of type 2 diabetes, and sugar addiction.

Published on a website called “I Quit Sugar”, the article aims to persuade people to completely eliminate sugar from their diet with the help of their “I Quit Sugar 8-Weeks Program”.
