basically just means that the more sugar you intake, the greater your resistance to it at the mitochondrial level and the greater your overall level of fatigue
essentially the more sugar you eat the more fatigued you will feel
@Misomania thanks
used to drink way to much coca cola myself, I really regret it
I did so for a couple years, then cut it out
no idea what it did to my body overall
I'll have pop if I go out for dinner or on special occasions
But I try to keep my intake down
they also use phospate based carbonation methods, which in the body leaches out calcium (a lot from your teeth as well) which you excrete in the form of calcium phosphate
weakening bones as well
That's fine, I have probably an excess of calcium in my diet
Here's a question
What do yall think about marketing to kids
What about it?
Highly circumstantial whether it is good or bad
i think that parents should grow a spin and learn to parent.
marketing that is kid friendly is fine, marketing made specifically to benefit from being shown to kids though is predatory
I was reading an article on G-Fuel marketing and a quote was "we are marketing to kids but in the end it's on the parents so we dont care to change it"
it's a bit like marketing hard liquer sales to appeal to alcoholics, and showing the ads in AA meetings
Sorry what is the kid equivalent to that exactly?
or marketing vape pens to kids
Are kids addicted to sugar, able to buy sugar and trying to cure themselves of their addiction?
Nice
What a lovely face
if you don't like how something is marketed to kids, don't buy it for them. Then convince others to not buy it.
@Beemann enablers are still the same, and using a psychcologist to exploit a situation is the same regardless
I'm in agreement with you grenade
What's being exploited?
If your kid is able to buy something without you, you need to get that shit on lock down, or teach them how to spot deceptive practices.
Your target audience who doesn't make purchasing decisions?
to many parents though just buy what their kids want to shut them up because it's easier
That's the parents' fault
^
you should be teaching them how to make choices for themselves by the time they are starting to get financial freedoms, so around 15-16 they should be able to make some of those choices on their own.
I feel the same toward lootboxes as well
Like are you suggesting kids don't want sugary shit regardless?
I was always given the line "we dont have enough money"
who's money goes to lootboxes?
Or "dinner or a toy"
