This month, the New York Times reported that US President Donald Trump consumes a “dozen Diet Cokes” daily – often delivered by “household staff he summons via a button.”Who knows? Maybe overdosing on all-powerful US corporate brands will help the president “Make America Great Again”. In the meantime, a Washington Post article has taken Trump’s Diet Coke habit and run with it, citing a recent study according to which “people who drank diet soda daily were three times more likely to develop stroke and dementia than those who consumed it weekly or less.”Also mentioned in the article is the possibility of weight gain owing to “artificial sweeteners [that] can confuse the brain and the body”. Suggestions of a correlation between soda consumption and deleterious health effects, including diabetes and heart disease, are, of course, nothing new – although Coca-Cola has in the past sought to distract public attention from the bad news by funding more industry-favourable narratives. To be sur

Road crashes in the Upper East Region has, from January to November this year, reduced by 84 as compared to that of last year during the same period. The Region recorded 305 road crashes with 171 persons injured and 51 deaths as against last year which recorded 389 crashes, 260 injured persons and 90 deaths.

He said about 55 per cent of the vehicles involved in the road crashes were motorbikes and 45 persons out of the 51 deaths recorded this year were men. He said if that trend continued in the region, most families would be left without breadwinners and poverty and delinquency could set in especially in the rural communities. “It is a worrying growing trend in the region, where a high number of young people above 18 years and mostly men ar
