SODA BAN
March 12, 2013
Some of the country's leading public health experts called the judicial ruling against New York's limits on the sale of large sugary drinks a predictable setback in what has become a national campaign against obesity, the country's newest health epidemic. This ban is an early attempt to limit the size of portions, which have expanded dramatically over the years and are at the root of the obesity epidemic. Like the ban on trans fats and the requirement that menus display calorie counts, wound up in court before they went into effect.Opponents of the limit say it is an inappropriate use of government power to restrict someting that should be a matter of individual choice. Ok! So if the government pass this ruling, what's to prevent consumers from buying two 16 oz drinks?
Dr. Ludwig drew an analogy to the government's requiring seat belts and imposing speed limits. He said that the individual liberty argument would have more weight if the health effects were't spilling over into society in the form of higher insurance premiums and a greater share of public dollars going to Medicare and Medicaid.
If all of the consequences were paid for by the individual, I could understand an argument that focused just on personal choice. So guess who pays for obesity related health problems?
CARE FOR YOUR LIVER
Here are the proven ways to avoid wrecking your liver:
- Don't drink a lot of alcohol. Alcohol can damage liver cells, leading to the swelling or scarring that becomes cirrhosis, which can be deadly.
According to the federal govermnent's Dietary guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol use is defined as having up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Stay at or under this to keep from harming your liver.
2. Eat a heathy diet and get regular exercise. A condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) also can lead to cirrhosis. It comes from being overweight, having diabetes, or having high levels of fat in your blood. NAFLD affects about 25% of people in the U.S. It can be avoided through weight loss if you're overweight, getting regular exercise, and eating a balanced diet.
3. Stay away from Medicines (or combninations of medicines) that harm the liver. Cholesterol drugs and the painkiller acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be toxic to the liver if too much is taken over time or at once. You may be taking more Tylenol than you realize; it's found in hundreds of drugs like cold medicines and prescription pain medicines. Certain combinations of drugs can be toxic to the liver; so can taking some medicines while drinking alcohol. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what medicines shouldn't be combined with each other or alcohol. And always follow dosage information.
4. Be aware of hepatitis and how it is transmitted. hapatitis is a virus that causes the liver to become inflamed. There are several different types. Hepatitis A is transmitted by water of food that's been contaminated with bacteria fould in feces. It usually gets better on its own. Hapatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and body fluids. If untreated, it cvan lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Hand washing and avoiding places that don't seem clean can prevent hepatitis A. To prevent hepatitis B and C, don't share items like toothbrushes, razors, or needles, limit the number of sex partners you have, and always use latex condoms if you have more than one partner.
