Reply #86: Sugar is addictive, refined carbohydrates and starches, such as bread and

[pnutchuck]

potatoes, coke, yogurt, ice cream, sugar, etc are essentially sugars. It increases insulin, which increases energy, followed by the crash, then the process starts all over again. Eventually, the insulin receptors become "desensitized" (for lack of wanting to get incredibly technical) and more sugar is needed for the same response. Eventually, insulin becomes dependent on external sugar for it's release and cravings for sugar, chocolate, coke, and other refined sugars take over. If this goes on too long, then diabetes is not far away.

By increasing the size of the cokes, for children and adults, they are almost guaranteeing addicts. And I'm not talking about cokes about as large as 2 or 3 cans of coke, these Super Size things are as large 1 gallon of coke.

I know it sounds like I'm pro law suit, but I'm not. I'm for public awareness starting in our schools, and moving to these political lobbyists that are preventing our public schools from offering good health education and practice. Finally, I would like to limit the age at which advertisers could target. I just think anything under 12 is criminal.
