The amount of sugar in food consumed in the Western world is atrocious; people are actually being hospitalized for this very reason, often. The BBC recently wrote a news story regarding rising hospital rates for child diabetes here. This particular version of the disease is know as “ketoacidosis” and it creeps up when the diabetes has gone unregulated in the body of the child in question. The ailment must be treated with insulin promptly, lest it get out of hand.
The officials interviewed in the article essentially say that they are ill equipped and inadequately funded to deal with the scope of the spread of this disease. This is shocking and appalling; people in England eat so much sugar that the hospitals cannot even handle the sheer number of diabetes cases in children.
Sugar is most prominently found in sodas, candy and other junk food. England should adopt some of America’s legislation which is designed to get rid of these unhealthy snacks in schools. It’s time for YoNaturals healthy vending to spread it’s influence.
