Warning Labels on Soft Drinks
Lobby group CSPI are demanding health warnings on soda cans and bottles. The American Beverage Assocation's response is predictable:
"To ask the FDA for warning labels on soft drinks, or any food products that contain caloric sweeteners, patronizes consumers and lacks common sense," said ABA President and CEO Susan Neely.
So what are the suggested warnings?
"The US Government recommends that you drink less (non-diet) soda to help prevent weight gain, tooth decay and other health problems."A second warning could read: "To help protect your waistline and your teeth, consider drinking diet sodas or water."

I think there should be warning labels on any common food product that contains high amounts of glucose-fructose and have it list off the potential health concerns that can arise from over consumption.
ReplyThanks for the information on how to deal with depression.
We recently wrote an article on health related warning labels Brain Blogger. It seems that all kinds of health warnings are becoming a popular trend.Does inactivity as the suspicious cause of certain health conditions warrant inactivity warning labels?
We would like to read your comments on our article. Thank you.
