Not surprisingly, obese children along with many other Americans get most of their energy from soft drinks. Soft drinks are the number one source of calories in the American diet. Is there any connection between this fact and the ballooning rate of childhood and teenage obesity?
It’s well known among researchers that limiting glucose (sugar) in your diet is a key to longevity. Recently, a German study with worms, showed that cutting down on sugar intake (glucose) increased the lifespan of worms the equivalent of 15 human years, which is a major improvement.
Considering that due to the rise in rates of obese children and teenage obesity, children’s life expenctancy is shorter than that of their parents, isn’t eliminating soft drinks and treats a good thing?

It sure is worth the effort. The best man at my wedding died from complications caused by social alcohol consumption. A doctor told me my friend was probably “pre-diabetic” and the social drinking eventually contributed to his demise. He wasn’t much for desserts, but the alcohol acted like dessert in his body.
