Put Down That Soda – Your Kidneys Will Thank You For It

The subject of late night comedian’s derision for several months, Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s New York City-wide ban on large sodas met an untimely end in March of this year, just days before it was to have gone into effect.

The UK is proposing a tax increase of 20 percent on sodas, claiming the move will stem the tide of heaviness in their country by as many as 285,000 of their citizens. Additionally, they believe they will reduce the total number of obese Britons by 180,000. We learned last week that not everyone is convinced the tax will have any effect on Britain’s obesity rate.
