"The sugar makes you sick – now we have to put an end"

"the Debaters: A two child family consume 317 kilos of candy, soft drinks, juice and pastries per year."

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. 60 kg of chocolate and sweets, 173 liter soda, 39 gallons of ice cream, 17 kg cake, 19 kg soft buns, 8 kilos of pastries and cakes, around 40 litres of juice and stilldrinks, and about 4 kilos of sweetened cocoa powder and chocolate sauce. So much sweets produced for a Swedish two child family each year."

"today it is world diabetes day and we Kostfonden serve up all of this at Mynttorget in parliament to ensure the visibility of our high sugar consumption. "

"in the Year 2016 crossed a historic threshold: more than half of Sweden's adult population are overweight or obese. About four per cent – about 450 000 people – have type 2 diabetes, and about twice as many are at risk for the disease."

"The sharp increase in lifestyle disease contributes to long waiting lists and a critical situation in health care"

"In the footsteps of obesity and type 2 diabetes follows cancer, heart attacks, stroke, and dementia.nMindre deadly conditions such as mental ill health, difficulties with children, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, is also more common in obesity and type 2 diabetes."

"The sharp increase in lifestyle disease contributes to long waiting lists and a critical situation in the health sector, despite the fact that no one knows for sure what foods that best counteract them. Kostråden to people with type 2 diabetes rests, according to the authorities on a ”fragile” scientific basis."

"We need to change this. In addition to Kostfonden involved in research into the dietary guidelines as the most effective reverse the obesity and type 2 diabetes, we want to highlight the necessity of prevention of ill-health. We must address the elephant in the room: the big sötsakskonsumtionen."

"According to the Nfa study seems while many eat reasonable levels of added sugar, but there is much to suggest that these studies, based on self-reports, they underestimate our sötsakskonsumtion. In the latest study participants reported that, on average, to the corresponding 4,4 kilos of sweets and chocolate per person per year, but figures from the Swedish board of Agriculture, which is based the industry statistics, it shows that it is produced closer to 15 pounds."

"the Same gap between the self-reported intake and output are also reflected in the statistics over the ice cream (5,8 litres, compared with 9.7 litres), sockersötad soft drinks and juice (30,6 litres, compared to around 50 to 60 litres) and other sweets."

"the Owners of grocery stores need to move away candy from kassaköerna. Hungry consumer sweet tooth generates gain, but obesity is the biggest risk factor for cancer after smoking"

"we Want to live healthy and solve the crisis in health care, we need to significantly cut down sötsakskonsumtionen. "

"we All need to take responsibility for our health. Sweets are good in the moment, but in the long run makes vardagsfestandet us seriously ill."
