After a lengthy battle between anti-obesity advocates and major beverage distributors, an agreement has finally been reached. In a joint effort with the distributors and The William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association, the distributors have agreed to eliminate regular soda sales in our nations schools.

This agreement shall be implemented by the 2008-2009 school year. It calls for only water, juices, and milk to be sold in elementary and middle schools, and diet sodas, unsweetened teas, fitness water, sports drinks, flavored waters, and seltzers in high schools. This ban on regular sodas applies during the regular or extended school day, and includes during after school activities.

This agreement will effect an estimated 75 percent of our nations schools or 35 million students. Keep in mind that this ban on regular sodas accounts for about 45 percent of beverage sales in schools during the 2005 school year.

While this is certainly a step in the right direction for our public schools and our overweight children, I am still troubled by the fact that diet sodas are considered safe.

Consider this fact, the dangers of aspartame has been a well hidden secret since the 1980's. You will not hear to much about aspartame poisoning because the diet industry is worth trillions of dollars.

People are starting to figure out for themselves that aspartame is at the root of their health problems. Here is just a short list of side effects associated with aspartame consumption, and may not be limited to these few.

*Fibromyalgia Syndrome/ and Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

*Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms

*Dizziness

*Headaches

*Menstrual Problems

*Weight control

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful. Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.

Diet sodas may be worse than regular sodas, although a lot of refined sugar in anyones diet is unhealthy, can quite easily be eliminated by limiting sugar laden beverages. The consumption of to many diet sodas can contribute to obesity, and are quite possibly addictive, despite what consumers have been led to believe.

There is a preventive self-education manual written by F. Batmanghelidj M.D.called “Your Body's Many Cries For Water”. This short but extremely informative book should be required reading for all high school students, and once this knowledge enters your mind, makes you responsible for your own health.

This science based knowledge presented by Dr. Batmanghelidj is so simple to understand and gives you the power of knowledge to choose the no-brainer beverage that your body so desperately needs, and that beverage is WATER!

As parents, teachers, physicians, and health conscious individuals we surely owe our children this precious knowledge. A gift that can reap huge rewards of a healthier body, healthier minds, and attitudes.
