Sugary-drinks Kill More People in Most Populous Country than Violent Crimes

A recent research conducted by the Scientists (Nutritionist) of Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, Medford, United States of America estimates an  incredible twenty-four thousands (24,000 Mexicans) die each year due to much intake of sugary drinks, medically result to diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

Out of the 20 most populous countries studied, Mexico's death rate from sugary drinks was the highest by a long way, with an estimated 405 deaths per million adults.

Examples of Sugary drinks  are high sugar-consecrated beverage teas,  sugar-consecrated Juices, Coca-Cola, Fanta, Viju-milk,  Gatorade and homemade drinks, kill far more people every year globally.

A statement attributed to Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the Friedman School of
Nutrition Science and Policy and senior author of the research (study), highlighted that
"There are no health benefits from sugar-sweetened beverages, and the potential impact of reducing consumption is saving tens of thousands of deaths each year."

Kris Gunnars, of AuthorityNutrition.com stated that "Added sugar is the single worst ingredient in the modern diet. It provides calories with no added nutrients and can damage your metabolism in the long run."

OXFORD ADDED NEW WORDS TO ENGLISH DICTIONARY

UPDATE: New Words, Phrases, and Senses Have Been Officially Added to English Dictionary.

According to update released by world most used English Dictionary: Oxford, stated that "Around 500 new words, phrases, and senses have entered the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)  in this (June) quarter’s update." the added words are: twerk, carnap, FLOTUS and scores of other new entries, including many introduced from Asia and from online slang, to its latest edition.
OED Editor, Danica Salazar, said in London that the word twerk, a dance popularised by music stars and Internet memes, actually
dated back about 200 years as a combination of twist and jerk first spelled as “twirk.’’

He said the use of "twerk" to describe a type of dance, which emphasises the performer’s posterior, has its roots in the early 1990s in the New Orleans ‘bounce’ music scene. Salazar said the word itself seems to originate from more than 170 years before that.

“Joining twerk in the updated online OED is the acronym FLOTUS, or First Lady of the United State. “A term that the First Lady, Michelle Obama, felt obliged to explain to London schoolgirls last week when she mentioned her FLOTUS Twitter handle,’’ he said.

The editor said Philippine word carnap, meaning to “kidnap,” or steal, a car,
originated in the mid-20th century in the U.S. but was no longer used there.

Here are some of the New dictionary entries:
Cisgender - designating a person whose sense of
personal identity matches their gender at birth

Guerrilla - describing activities carried out in an
irregular and spontaneous way

Gimmick - to mean "a night out with friends".

Twitterati - describing users of the social media
service Twitter

Fo' shizzle - meaning "for sure".

"Meh", an interjection expressing lack of enthusiasm, has also been included in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The word is believed to have been first used in 1992, before being popularised by cult TV
cartoon The Simpsons.

The Oxford English Dictionary records the meaning and development of the English
language. Mind you, For a word to qualify, it must have been in
popular use for at least 10 years in both novels
and newspapers.

“Many additions refer to “specific elements of
Philippine culture, such as greetings and terms
of address. “The boundless optimism of Filipinos
and their unshakeable belief that things will work
out in their favour in the end is reflected in the
phrase bahala na.”
Salazar said several other new entries are from
South Asia and South-east Asia, where several
hundred million people use.
