Throw Out the Pop

Dr. Mehmet Oz did an amazing talk on diabetes recently on The Oprah Show. I was surprised to find how common diabetes is becoming especially among younger individuals. For those of you who are addicted to soda, check out this clip... a huge wake up call.

I know people in the South Asian community who refer to diabetes as "sugar." Its kinda funny if you think about it. People don't realize how serious of a condition it is. As Dr. Oz says in this Huffington Post article, its actually much more than just "a little sugar."
