Outcome of sugar reduction strategies for soft drinks

1. A high intake of sugar, in particular from sugar-sweetened soft drinks, increases the risk for #obesity , type 2 #diabetes mellitus, and dental #caries.

2. Between 2015 & 2021, the mean sugar content of soft drinks sold in Germany decreased by only 2% from 5.3 to 5.2 g/100 mL, falling short of 9% reduction target. The onus of reducing sugar content was left to the manufacturers of soft drinks.

3. In comparison, in the same period in the UK, the sugar content fell from 5.3 g per 100 mL to 3.8 g per 100 mL (29% reduction).
In 2018, the UK introduced an industry levy on soft drinks to encourage the manufacturers to reduce sugar. This approach has proven highly effective.

La salud del bebé está relacionada con su alimentación. La preocupación sobre la alimentación ha aumentado en los últimos años.A partir de los 6 meses de edad se puede empezar con la alimentación complementaria. Las papillas de cereales son uno de los productos de más consumo 2/6
El 58% de las papillas de cereales de venta en España tienen más azúcar en su composición que la recomendada por la OMS. (Vía Garro-Mellado et al).

From the NTP monograph. #FluorideFriday facts. Judge Chen wouldn't let the folks who want to add bioavailable #fluorine to our diet talk about the "benefits" of #fluoridation. Because there are no facts to support such. The NTP knew that.
The biggest problem the #StannoudFoilHats have, is that since organized #Dentistry has been avoiding talking about the research of C. C. Bass, MD, the loud ones must not know that Dr Bass published his first paper on preventing the loss of teeth in 1943.
That paper traveled around the world many times and was adopted by the new field of #PreventiveDentistry everywhere it was read. The formal practice of personal oral hygiene started a couple of years before Grand Rapids decided to add #fluorine to the diet of their citizens.

#Thread about brushing your teeth:

When I came back from the US in late 2018, one of my goals was to create awareness about oral health. I was very surprised to hear how many people don't know its essential to brush multiple times.

#oralhealth #preventivecare #brushyourteeth
So I created this poll and the results confirmed my fear. More than 50% said they brush ONCE a day! So here goes.

Teeth can get two main diseases: Caries/cavities and periodontal/gum disease. Both are multi factorial but start with two main factors: Diet and oral hygiene.
Genes play a role but let's not blame our parents and their parents for our faults.

Basically food left on teeth causes caries and under the gums causes periodontal issues. Plain and simple. Some foods are worse than others but oral hygiene is key. So lets start with brushing.
