Every 10 seconds a person dies from diabetes. One can of soda has about 40 grams of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites and high-fructose modified corn syrup. Today boys are getting 15 and girls are getting 10 teaspoons of redefined sugar daily from sweetened beverages – that’s the maximum sugar kids should be getting from all foods, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Drinking one or two sugary drinks each day increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by about 25%. Nearly 1 in 2 children of color born in the year 2000 will get diabetes in their lifetime. A few soda cans contain Bysphenol-A, or BPA, which is linked to breast and prostate cancer, metabolic disorder, impairment of the endocrine system, and premature puberty.
So what is the future of kids who are addicted to sugary drinks? Watch Ivori Holson outline the harmful effects of a sugary drink diet in “Thin Line” written and performed by Ivori for the Bigger Picture project, a collaboration between Youth Speaks and UCSF’s Center for Vulnerable Populations.

Raising awareness for diabetes is retarded, it is just like raising awareness for people cutting in their fingers when trying to do that one knife challenge.
It is the fucking reaction to you living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Nothing to gain awareness for, you are being idiotic and you get sick in return.
But i feel sorry for the children that get brought up by these fat,diabetic and abusive parents, they don’t know any better and get fed unhealthy food 24/7.
