Health Department Launches Campaign Showing How Drinking Just One Soda a Day Equals 50 Pounds of Sugar a Year
New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley unveiled a new Health Department education campaign that describes how drinking just one 20 ounce soda a day translates to eating 50 pounds of sugar a year. The 30-second TV spot will air on major broadcast and cable TV stations over the next two months as a stark reminder to New Yorkers about how sugary drinks can lead to obesity, which can cause diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis and some cancers. This latest installment of the Department’s “Pouring on the Pounds” campaign was launched at an event in Times Square on October 24 commemorating the nation’s first Food Day, a day modeled after the popular Earth Day, but focused on healthy food and eating.

just fyi it will only be a click-able link if it points to a http://www.myfitnesspal.com page because they can be reasonably sure that that's a safe link, while the external links we post, you have to copy and paste actively taking part in going to it...
