I work in one of the hospitals in Philadelphia, and I can honestly say that one
of the biggest problems we see on a daily basis is obesity. It can interfere
with surgeries, physicals, and mobilization; but most of all, it leads to a
great number of serious illnesses. Probably the most common complication of
obesity is diabetes, which can also lead to further problems. I applaud this
effort to educate people about obesity and to provide more healthy alternatives.

Juice vs. Soft Drinks | 12:46 p.m. April 7, 2008
About the only thing you are saving when you substitute juice drinks for soft
drinks is the carbonation. Juice drinks are loaded with sugar and if you
don't check the labels -- high fructose corn syrup -- blech! We need to be
more aware of the calories we drink! Those add up so fast! Eat a piece of
fruit and get the vitamins, fiber, and crunch factor!
