Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said soft drinks were not to blame for obesity.

Nice try Gavin.


Sugar-sweetened drinks, when taken regularly, have been shown to increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.
A typical sugary drink can contain six to 15 teaspoons of sugar. One teaspoon of sugar is equivalent to 4g of sugar or 16 calories.

    Can you imagine eating six teaspoons of sugar? Unfortunately many do without realising.

    This is not on my menu choice.

    It's a bit like saying that excessive alcohol consumption does not cause liver disease.

    If non diabetics are drinking a couple of sodas a week, no problem, 2 litres = problem.
