This is why they want to put warning labels on soda. labels do nothing when people put things on their favorite things it makes people want to do them even more. This shows that it would do nothing. Sugar is in everything, so why put labels on just soda it is dumb. Labels do nothing! Psychological studies have shown, for instance,that for cigarette smokers,warning labels that tell them they’re going to die might tempt them to smoke more. This is saying that if people put labels on soda people will probably do exactly what the smokers are doing. Besides, there’s already a warning label on every sugary drink, and on pretty much

    In the "Yes!" Section, the author means to say that making people aware of what they're putting into their bodies will make the least likely to do it, when he wrote "Putting warning labels on sugary drinks would save lives." According to the text "... you deserve to know when you're about to put something in your body that can make you sick or worse." This shows the people should know what they're drinking is bad for them because they are simply unaware. The text gives an example of how warning labels have worked in the past, "Anti-smoking measures, including warning labels, are estimated to have saved about 8 million American lives since 1964." This connects too similar problems and proves that warning labels can effectively discourage…

    They say it's a ridiculous idea and that there is no need, but they just don't see the harm being put into their body. In the text, the author makes a clear statement that the labels won't help, and I can see why he says this, but he also states how obesity is not the best today. Still, he says that “bombarding soda drinkers with warning labels won't help.” He claims that the sugary drinks aren't the only source of obesity and this is true, but the other text states the same thing. He writes about what else we would put warning labels on, because everything has sugar in it! Another good thing that this writer draws a conclusion to, would be how beverage companies have already helped slow down the unhealthy decisions. When the author actually concluded his statement, it was clear that he doesn't want to deal with warning labels, but I still have to disagree.…

Thinking that soda won’t cause the child any immediate harm is unfortunately common.” (Khara) Unfortunately for the United States, it’s one of the first countries to start drinking soft drinks.

    The average American citizen doesn't know of these statistics, which is why we shouldn't be quick to deny the government's restriction of our sugar. Sugar is also said to have long term damages to the liver. Diabetes can be directly linked to the consumption in sugar from HFCS or “High Fructose Corn Syrup” coming from sugary drinks like soda. In and article called the “5 reason HFCS will kill you” the author Dr. Mark Hyman states that “HFCS contrary to what big name companies are telling us, are not a natural sugars. Since HFCS are so cheap and sweet it is the reason that businesses allow their average soda size to go from 8 ounces to 20 ounces.”…

    In the United States, drinking soda is no longer a fad: it is an addiction. Despite the rising medical problems in our country, Americans refuse to reduce their consumption of soda. Whether soda consumers choose to deny links between soda and health risks or ignore them, it is unfortunate that these consumers are oblivious to how serious of a problem drinking soda truly is. Regardless of what companies who produce the drink claim, soda is a dangerous liquid and is harmful to the human body. It is linked to greater weight gain, higher amounts of body fat, and an increased risk of heart disease and Type II diabetes. Health problems in the United States will continue to grow if Americans do not decrease their soda consumption.…

    Most college students would have the same thought process as you. They would immediately say "no way! I love my soda", this is unfortunately how the majority of America is like. If we are to change, we have to really put forth the effort for more than a day. A lot of people actually know of the risks of drinking soda but they don't do anything about it, most people treat it as if it's nothing until they start getting signals. People need to start seeing that other campuses and businesses are removing soda from their buildings as a red flag as you said. If it has been a concern for so long and such a big concern that businesses are starting to remove it, it means it's probably really bad for you. I feel like our best solution is to slowly back…

    It seems like nowadays people are becoming more conscious about their health and eating habits. People are starting to notice what they eat and have started changing their eating habits. They start to choose organic foods, eat foods with less sugar or eat foods with artificial sweeteners, and choose foods that don’t have certain chemicals or hormones. Some people eat and drink diet foods such as diet soda here and there thinking that it will better their health and a contribution to their diet or weight loss. But what people tend to not notice is what kind of chemicals or ingredients that we don’t recognize are harmful. You might rarely see a label on a diet soda warning you about Phenylalanine, and not know what it is so you regard it. Usually when we don’t know what is in our food, we think twice about eating it, but if it seems harmless and see no warning label then we eat it anyway. Any products that are made for human consumption that contain Aspartame, which contains Phenylalanine, should carry a warning label of the ingredient. Most do…
