Results: Daily Debate: Which is more important for weight loss: diet or exercise?
Published on 08/12/2015
Coca-Cola is working hard to blame obesity on anything but a poor diet. The soda company donated heavily to a new nonprofit called the Global Energy Balance Network that has a stated goal of placing emphasis on exercise and shifting it away from food, in conversations about health and obesity. With all the research on the link between added sugar and Type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease, Coca-Cola's sales have been down.
One study found that that with every 150 calorie increase from a sugar source (cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners) there was a 1.1 percent increase in the Type 2 diabetes rate over a 10-year period. Another study published in Public Health Nutrition found that there was a direct correlation between sugar consumption and being overweight, obese and having high blood pressure. Yet another study found that people with the highest sugar intake had a 400 percent increase in their risk of heart attacks compared to those with the lowest intakes.
