Pouring on the PoundsFor National Public Health Week, April 2-8, OCCHD and Wellness Now encourage everyone to rethink their drink. We are launching an education campaign describing how drinking just one 20 ounce soda a day translates to eating 50 pounds of sugar a year. Many of us consume too much sugar without realizing it. Sugar in sweetened drinks contains extra calories that can lead to obesity and diabetes.
