My dad grew up in Puerto Rico. He came to the states when he was around 16 years old. Since then he has gone back and forth to visit, taking me with him a few times. As I got older I would go on my own to visit. We still have family out there and for the first time this year, I got to take my now 8-year-old daughter there to meet her family and see the island. It was such a beautiful experience. My father came with us which made it even more special. He was so excited to show his grandaughter around the island. We had her taste all kinds of tropical fruits, pick fresh coconuts from the tree, swim in the Atlantic Ocean, listen to music, and see all the sites Puerto Rico had to offer. We are from the far west side of the island from a small area called Aguadilla. It's quite different from the east side of the island, near San Juan, where tourists tend to visit. I often suggest to people who say they are going to visit PR to check out the west because it is Puerto Rico's best-kept secret. During our visit, Kaliah, my 8-year-old, tasted many foods from all over the island but the food she liked the best was the food cooked right at home from my cousin Yari, and my Aunt Maria. We ate good ol' homemade Arroz Con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas), tostones (fried plantains), and some chicken) pasteles (a traditional food...it's a mash of green banana and root veggies which is turned into a pate then stuffed with chopped chicken, olives, peppers, onions, spices, and other goodies, all wrapped in a banana leaf then cooked - they are similar to a tamale). She gobbled it down so fast I don't think she even breathed between bites! Haha. My Aunt cooks with very fresh ingredients. So fresh, she had picked and shelled the gandules (pigeon peas - Cajanus cajan) that same morning from a tree growing right in her front yard. She mashed the yucca, she created her own spice mix. It was all so so delicious and fresh. We stopped at several markets just to show Kaliah the different types of foods that grow on the island. Our family is blessed with many of these fruit trees so we only purchased a few items from the market since we picked a lot of fresh food from the trees on their properties.

### [Study: While soda taxes reduce consumption, they may not deliver intended results (FoodDive)](https://www.fooddive.com/news/study-while-soda-taxes-reduce-consumption-they-may-not-deliver-intended-r/566005/) http://www.wepostmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/HERO_Worlds_Best_Soda_Bundaberg_shutterstock_679079920.jpg * According to a new study, sweetened beverage purchases fell in Philadelphia and Oakland, California following the adoption of taxes on sugary drinks – **however, some customers apparently travelled outside those cities to shop sugar-tax-free.** * The study gives mixed results on the effectiveness of the sugar taxes in Philadelphia and Oakland, but did show that more than 40% of interviews retailers reported reducing the availability of taxed beverages in their stores. * A full brief of the study can be downloaded [here](https://www.mathematica.org/our-publications-and-findings/publications/multi-city-study-shows-beverage-taxes-raise-prices-reduce-and-shift-purchases). ### Analysis and Comments * Quite a bit of interesting news out this week relating to sugar/diabetes: **Kellogg has agreed to a US$20M settlement of the 2016 'healthy' sugary cereal lawsuit, Cargill has developed a more sugar-like stevia ingredient** * In a way the above article underlines an important point; where there is a will, there is a way (around sugar taxes as much as any other measure intended to promote healthier consumer choices). However, sugar taxes are only part of the picture. A lot is up to the food and beverage industry to change/reformulate their products to include less sugar and fat – thus encouraging a lower overall sugar intake by reducing the available unhealthy options and giving people a broader variety of healthy(/healthier) alternatives. * The main issue remains however: **while these measures will likely result in a peaking of obesity rates globally, diabetes will continue to rise over the next decade**. **This is because research shows that there is a 12-year time lag between obesity incidence and diabetes prevalence, meaning that the level of diabetes for the next decade will be dependent on the obesity evolution over 2006-15.** Originally posted: https://steemit.com/health/@vlemon/study-while-soda-taxes-reduce-consumption-they-may-not-deliver-intended-results
