  5. If everyone suddenly became healthier what would happen to the Mayo Clinics?

  6. If that's not an argument to side with online influencers, then I don't know what is.

    (Doof.)

    Not sure I follow your post. Mine was referencing a proposed bill in the Texas legislature that would eliminate sugary drinks (and candy) from SNAP eligible items. Meaning that SNAP recipients would no longer be able to use their food stamps to purchase them, similar to how cigarettes and alcohol were removed years ago from being SNAP eligible items.

    And to everyone's shock and surprise the American Heart Association was there lobbying against the bill, in other words they were campaigning to keep sugary drinks and candy as eligible items for poor people to buy with food stamps. Your post, in great multiplicity, appears to confirm the dangers of added sugars so please explain what you meant. o_O

  8. I found it counterintuitive that the AHA would do so given their position on the matter. Could you please provide a link.

    Agree, it does sound bizarre given other statements by the AHA, but I guess no more bizarre than my previous mention of the American Diabetes Association recommending 25% of meals to items that spike blood sugar. Anyway, as to your request ─ from this link:

    Lois Kolkhorst, chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, said that the American Heart Association's opposition to SB 379 was the biggest surprise of the legislative session so far. The hearing took place on March 11. "I often say that I can never be surprised in this building, but for the American Heart Association to be against this bill, that might be the surprise of the session so far," said Kolkhorst, Senator.

    And here's another link describing that peculiar situation:
