Taking the fizz out: Supreme Court directs colas must be of higher standard :-

For anyone over age 40, soft drinks can be especially hazardous because the kidneys are less able to excrete excess phosphorus, causing depletion of vital calcium. Says well-known nutritionist Dr Ishi Khosla:

Each 330 ml of a serving of a cola contains about eight to nine teaspoons of sugar, a primary cause of obesity among children and adults alike, a primary cause of obesity among children and adults. The central problem of obesity leads to other auxiliary issues like heart problems.

While diet sodas might not have any sugar or calories, they are known to increase appetite and just like regular colas, also contain some caffeine.

The caffeine content in colas, though minimal, also makes them addictive."

The going just got tougher for carbonated soft drinks. Expressing serious concern over the harmful effects of such drinks on the health of citizens, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered periodic checks of all facilities manufacturing them.

The FSSAI has been directed to evaluate the harmful effects of soft drinks on human health and to ensure that all beverages have labels detailing their ingredients, including levels of added chemicals.

The essential problem with colas is the high sugar content. Each 330 ml cola bottle contains about 8-9 teaspoons of sugar, a primary cause of obesity among children and adults. The central problem of obesity leads to other auxiliary issues like heart problems.

While diet sodas might not have any sugar or calories, they are known to increase appetite and just like regular colas, also contain some caffeine. Besides, the high sugar and caffeine content, soft drinks have high phosphate content and virtually no calcium. Soft drinks are the single greatest source of caffeine in children's diets.

For anyone over age 40, soft drinks can be especially hazardous because the kidneys are less able to excrete excess phosphorus, causing depletion of vital calcium. Says well-known nutritionist Dr Ishi Khosla: "Colas have a destructive effect on one's health essentially because of the high sugar content. Each 330 ml of a serving of a cola contains about eight to nine teaspoons of sugar, a primary cause of obesity among children and adults alike.

Each additional serving of cola increases the chances of obesity by 60 percent. Besides, the calories in cola are all empty calories and provide no nutrition but only chemicals. The caffeine content in colas, though minimal, also makes them addictive."

Dr Sunita Roychoudhary of Rockland Hospital concurred. "High sugar content in colas, empty calories and the bicarbonate used to make it fizzy affect the natural balance of the stomach and blood.

Artist Jeffro Uitto Self portrait


Using only salvaged materials like driftwood, roots, burls and natural found wood;Jeffro Uittocreates astonishing works of art and furniture. Since high school Jeffro has used wood as his creative outlet. He has since opened his own shop,Knock on Wood, in Tokeland, Washington, where he works on custom orders, commissions, and personal projects.

Every sculpture and furniture item seen below is made from salvaged materials Uitto has personally collected. He tells theDaily Mailthat he finds most of his pieces in the winter when storms move the wood around.
