Texas town adds sugar to water supply to encourage residents to drink more water
[quote]
Talon is small town located in Pecos County, Texas. When town officials realized that drinking-water consumption by residents was well below the national average, they decided take action and three months ago began adding sugar to their water supply to make drinking it more desirable. According to Hester Griggs, the Commissioner of Utilities for Talon, they are adding roughly "4 tablespoons of sugar for every 8 oz. cup of water." Earlier today, Pat Kelly spoke with Mr. Griggs to find out how residents are responding to this initiative.

26 RespuestasEditado por Psycho: 10/29/2013 9:09:40 PMSo you're telling me - >Every tablespoon of sugar is say 12.55 grams right? >Multiply that by four tablespoons - that's 50.2 grams of sugar. >Then multiply that by eight ( the eight by 8 oz rule for drinking water, which is a minimum). You're telling me if someone were to consume around 2 litres of water a day, they'd also be consuming [u][i][b]401.6 grams[/b] of sugar?[/u] [/i] What the actual f*ck 'Murica - YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO CONSUME AROUND 90 - 120 GRAMS OF SUGAR A DAY ACCORDING TO GDA!
