    Deborah: Atiku’s action shows Nigerian politicians only care about votes – Mr Macaroni

    Mr Macaroni, a comedian, has chastised presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar for deleting Facebook and Twitter posts criticising the assassination of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto.

    A mob in Sokoto State burned Deborah alive for allegedly disrespecting Prophet Mohammed.

    Atiku reportedly deleted his posts because some zealots threatened his presidential campaign in 2023.

    In a tweet, Mr Macaroni added that Atiku’s actions demonstrate that politicians do not care about the people and only play to the gallery to win votes.

    “Politicians are unconcerned about the public. When they want our votes, they only play to the crowd. People must be able to see past these ruses.”

    Sugar seems to have developed a reputation as the big bad wolf in relation to health. We have reported on numerous studies associating sugar intake with increased aging, cardiovascular disease, obesity and even cancer. Such research has led to many health experts around the globe calling for reductions in recommended sugar intake, with some saying we should cut out sugar completely. But is it really that bad for our health?

    There are many different types, including glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose and sucrose. Some of these sugars, such as glucose, fructose and lactose, occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and other foods. But many of the foods we consume contain “added” sugars – sugar that we add to a product ourselves to enhance the flavor or sugar that has been added to a product by a manufacturer.

    The most common sources of added sugars include soft drinks, cakes, pies, chocolate, fruit drinks and desserts. Just a single can of cola can contain up to 7 tsps of added sugar, while an average-sized chocolate bar can contain up to 6 tsps.

    It is added sugars that have been cited as a contributor to many health problems. In December 2014, MNT reported on a study in the journal Open Heart claiming added sugars may increase the risk of high blood pressure, even more so than sodium. And in February 2014, a study led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) associated high added sugar intake with increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD).

    A 2020 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggested that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increases weight gain in both children and adults, while a review paper from the World Health Organization (WHO) notes an increase in the consumption of such beverages correlates with the increase in obesity.
