CVS first major drug store to end tobacco sales

#93

Quote:As you confirmed, I said most.

 

About 8% of Americans are diabetic.

 

About 36% of adults and 17% of children are obese.

 

17% of adults have high cholesterol.

 

About 12% of adults have some form of cardiovascular disease.

 

The bottom line is that "most" is conservative.

 

Most doctors will tell you to avoid over consumption of carbs and sugars, no matter what your health situation, but very few will tell you that a Coke or candy bar on occasion is going to really hurt any but the most extreme cases of patients with the above conditions. The risks to the majority of consumers from junk food pales to that posed by tobacco,.
 

The point is most doctors will tell you to avoid fattening processed sugars, and carbonated sugary drinks if you have the one of the conditions above. If they tell you its ok to have a Coke or candy bar on occasion, then they are contradicting their own plan to get you healthy.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
