Sugary drinks often provide unnecessary calories, and in the case of sodas, no benefit to health. Instead, they cause dental decay and obesity.
Sugars should be less than 10% of total energy intake per day:
๐ฅ 12 teaspoons for adults
๐ฅ 10 teaspoons children below 8
We shouldn't have needed these studies or data to suddenly realize supplements need to be regulated differently than how it is (not so much) now... #PBH710 https://t.co/KAT3aFJ6VI
@LeonardBWall Interesting! I am a little skeptical though. They claimed strong assoc btwn alcohol & violence but is that enough to suggest a policy restricting type of access? Are there no othet confounding variables?
@Mrs_Ocasio_ No, many patients have no idea what insurance will cover. Patients rely on their drs to tell them if a service is covered and get angry when dr was wrong when stuck with a huge bill. Health literacy regarding coverage needs help.
FEMA administrator Brock Long frustrated that "Unfortunately in this country, we seem to not learn the lesson" about evacuating in the wake of Hurricane Michael's 14 and rising death count. #PBH710 https://t.co/VkFTWxtu0U
Viagra and Cialis found in e-cig vaping liquids, FDA gave company 15 days to comply. People generally trust that products sold in U.S. are safe - companies blatantly ignoring FDA rules are a threat to public health #PBH710 https://t.co/8Nr6tajYjc
My dad just came out of surgery to remove a malignant cancer. He's recovering alone in Korea... Drs said they were able to remove everything, but can't be sure until tests are done. I'm so heartbroken and scared for my dad. Please #pray with me for him.
What a shame to be throwing trash away anywhere other than a trash can. Even if a trash can is not available, it takes just an ounce of care to bag it and throw it away later. https://t.co/zdJs29tqL0 via @usatoday
@QuinnMaKayla12 That's incredible, a grassroots action working to make change in policy spearheaded by the next generation! This is what activism is about.
More than 30 billboards across the country like this one seen in Kansas City has the city's health department on the defense, so frustrating #PBH710 https://t.co/SwHadz31z3 via @KCTV5
@NicoleA987 I think economic inequality will always be a concern because someone somewhere will earn more or less than you. What do you think should be done from a public health perspective?
@monetdugan This quote hits home for me, "what does the school then do with that?" Will the students be mandated to have regular check ups? Will this be treated as any other health information such as allergies that the school will have on hand but do nothing about?
