Taxing Sugar-Sweetened Beverages

Porky Kelly Brownell, the advocate for taxing soda and "anti-junk food" activist is taken to the shed by someone other than me. This is a good example of how an IMHO crooked crusader, Kelly, makes an argument. If you can, read the entire original piece. It will take a minute or so.



...They cite a report of a 1-year trial involving students 7 to 11 years of age that showed a lower incidence of obesity in the dietary intervention group, although the difference in body-mass index was not significant. Follow-up 2 years after completion of the trial showed that the difference in the incidence of obesity was not sustained. This dietary intervention apparently only had a transient effect without affecting the long-term propensity for obesity. None of the three other long-term, randomized, controlled trials cited in the article met their primary end points; an analysis of a different subgroup within each trial was made in an attempt to show some benefit...
A good real-life example of why you should not believe what you read about weight loss in the MSM, where Kelly, other Yalies and AdipOprah experts rule the roost.
