written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The National Health Service (NHS): Type 2 diabetes, the most common type of disease, is a condition that occurs when the level of glucose in the blood, also called blood sugar, is too high.
Heathline explains: “One observational study looked at the risk of developing diabetes in 2,800 people. Those who consumed more than two servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per day had a 99% increased risk of developing LADA and a 20% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes: “Frequently drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, nonalcoholic liver disease, tooth decay, and gout, a type of arthritis.”
As The Nutrition Source says: “Excess weight is the single most important cause of type 2 diabetes. Being overweight increases your chances of developing type 2 diabetes by nearly sevenfold. Obesity makes you 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than someone of a healthy weight.”
Losing weight can help if your weight is above a healthy weight range.

Some scholars said that the government distributed electronic consumer coupons to the public last year, which helped promote consumption and electronic payment, but he believed that if the government distributed more money to the public, it would be better to send cash. Some merchants said that consumer coupons once increased business by regarding 20 to 30%, and they supported the government to distribute consumer coupons.
Xu Jiajian, an associate professor at the Department of Economics at Clinson University in the United States, said on this program “Millennium Times” that for ordinary people, if you send cash, you can use the money at any time when you have it. No other considerations, it feels better. And if we want to promote electronic payment, it is believed that the effect of sending electronic consumer coupons is not very big. When asked if it would be better to distribute money following the epidemic, he believes that the government will announce the implementation as soon as possible, and when it is actually implemented, the time will be right.
Chen Kam-wing, chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Traders Associations, said in the same program that following people get consumer coupons, shopping is more “relaxed”, such as seafood that is more expensive, and the sales are better. The public will definitely spend it, but if cash is distributed, some people will save it, and some may even spend it on gambling.
Chen Kam-wing also said that according to the figures provided to them by the FEHD, only regarding 40% of street stall vendors have installed electronic toll collection machines, but some older vendors are more reluctant to use the technology.
