The bells are getting ready to ring during this Easter weekend. Young and old will be able to taste the delicious chocolates left behind. But beware of the euphoria of the egg hunt, warned Dr Andrew Kelso, medical director at the NHS, the English public health system. “Many do not realize thatone medium chocolate egg contains approximately the three-quarters of the daily calorie intake recommended for an adult (2500 kcal for a man/approximately 2200 kcal for a woman). In a time like this, when we are seeing a significant increase in cases of obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as tooth decay, I ask people to enjoy their Easter eggs in moderation and to resist the urge to eat a whole egg in one go” he recommended in an article published on the NHS Suffolk and North East Essex websitesince removed.
“Leave people alone”
The former neurologist also pointed out that “In addition to Easter eggs, many will be gathering with family and friends for this special occasion, which leads to eating more cakes and cookies. Combined, this all adds up to lots of sugar and extra calories that don’t do our body any good. Enjoy your sweet treats, but don’t overdo it.” A message perceived by many Internet users as too moralistic and inappropriate from a representative of the State. “This doctor obviously has too much free time to be granted a such a stupid interview, reacted a user on Facebook. We all know that too much chocolate can lead to diabetes, weight gain and tooth decay and maybe if people could see a doctor or dentist there would be half as many problems.”
On the social networkanother said that after listening to Dr. Andrew Kelso’s advice he would eat “more like 3 whole Easter eggs at once”. “Leave people alone”, “You are not my mother” can also be read in the reactions. We will have understood, Internet users do not plan to restrict themselves for Easter. For those who would (still) like to limit the damage, remember that the most caloric chocolates are white, milk, and milk praline chocolates (up to 560 calories in 100 grams only).
