NI people 'top of the fizzy pops'
 
People in Northern Ireland drink an average of 105 litres fizzy drinks every year, the most in the UK.

The statistics were revealed by NIO minister Paul Goggins in reply to a written parliamentary question from Democratic Unionist MP Iris Robinson.

The figures were provided by the NI Food and Drinks Association.

Earlier this year, US researchers suggested that having just one fizzy drink a day could equate to putting on almost a stone in a year.

"The 2005 Child Wellbeing Survey indicates that 38.4% of children aged 8-11 years consume soft drinks at least once per day," Mr Goggins said.

In the UK as a whole, people drink 105 litres a year, while the average was 109 litres in the Irish Republic.

How can it be "the most" if it's the same?


But it's not yor fault.  I think the whole things made up simply because "Paul Goggins" can not be a real name.  Everyone would laugh at him!

Exceptionally ... which came as a bit of a shock to all involved.

i have a feeling billy drinks about 365 litres a year .. but he's an american living in northern ireland.. does he count for the study?

(and they're all diet drinks, so the whole stone weight thing probably doesn't count either)

I take it whomever wrote this isn't very good with numbers?


Let's see, the average is 105/year, and N.I. drinks 105/year, but they're not just average, they're, erm, above average!! Er...

Ho hum...


 


I read somewhere that diet drinks have exactly no nutritional value whatsoever.

yes i believe they are not in any way good for you - but no evidence to date conclusively proves that they are any way bad for you either.

(nate, you second hengle's point well )

Wait till they admit that artificial sweetners make your nads shrivel up and fall off!

Don't think so.  Nads is short for gonads.  Girls have gonads, too.

i suppose by strict dictionary definition yes, but by popular use in today's society, i believe one more commonly uses the word in regard to the male genitalia

i want no such thing, i simply wanted to correct your incorrect correction of my understanding of the word 'nads'

.. i mean, i don't know how anyone's ovaries would fall off anyway?


when some kind of actual study proves that one's nads will fall off with the consumption of artificial sweetners i will desist the purchase of diet drinks for my household
