That is correct. So in terms of the a sugar that we are consuming, average americans are consuming about 22 teaspoons a day and recommended that men not have more than 9 teaspoons and women and children 3.

So you will add those calories next to that burger and fries and again it has to do with your if physiological response where a drink may make you feel hungry. And from an environmental perspective when you look at the setting we are living in when mcdonalds introduced its first coke was 7 ounces and now you can go to 7eleven and get 128ounce gulp.

This is when we see nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis, nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and what we used to see as belly is now sugar belly. For people who dont have alcohol have a considerable amount of fatty deposits around the weight with the sugary products. So very complex cascade of events that go on inside the human body. Its not exactly easy to present to the public but there is a very, a growing and important body of evidence that fructose is a toxic substance that harms the liver and causes a very similar set of consequences in the human body and in the liver to alcohol.

Thats nonalcoholic Liver Disease . Nonalcoholic fatty Liver Disease. And then lastly to what weve been speak together issue of over weight and obesity. There are many other health impacts. Guma referred to others. These are ones that we see from tremendous impacts with sugary drinks. I will take questions. That is a really helpful presentation. You mentioned a statistic that we talked about before that a 12 ounce can of soda has 9 teaspoons of sugar and 17 ounces and a 20 ounces bottle. You showed a slide the biggest of the big gulps. So for example the teen gulp at 7eleven, i hadnt
