Artificially Sweetened Beverages

The idea of using 'fat taxes’ to curb obesity rates has been raised by many. In particular, the idea of taxing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has received considerable attention in the United States and has recently been discussed by President Obama. Rather less attention has been given to the alternative of 'thin subsidies’, that is, subsidies for the consumption of foods or beverages likely to be associated with reduced incidence of obesity. This commentary examines the case for a subsidy for artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) or 'diet soft drinks’. In this commentary, we outline the evidence on the relationship between health outcomes, most notably obesity, and the consumption of SSBs and ASBs. In the light of the evidence we consider the economic effects of taxing SSBs, and the way in which those effects would be modified by the adoption of the alternative 'thin subsidy’ based on subsidising ASBs.

A Prospective Study

The present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of significant changes in systemic blood pressure (SBP) during surgical-dental procedures. A prospective study was performed with a sample of 135 randomly selected individuals who underwent surgical procedures at the Bucomaxillofacial Surgery Clinic of the Dentistry School of the ESFA (ES) between the second half of 2017 and April 2018. After consent, sociodemographic, lifestyle data, weight and height were obtained through a questionnaire, weighing and measurement, respectively. BP measurements were performed at three moments: preoperative (BP1), intraoperative (BP2) and postoperative (BP3) using a mercury column sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Values ​​<120/80 mmHg were used as normal values. When BP1 and BP2 were compared, 63.0% remained within normal values ​​and 22.2% reached the stage of hypertension. In the comparison of BP1 and BP3, 66.7% remained normal, and only 7.4% reached the stage of hypertension. When BP2 and BP3 were compared, 53.6% remained within the normality stage and 12.2% reached the stage of hypertension. It was concluded that there were variations in blood pressure, being the largest variation found in BP2, and can be attributed to the stress caused by the surgical act, since no statistically significant connections were found between the changes in blood pressure and the anesthetics used in the research.
