A Cape Breton pharmacist has pulled all sugary drinks off the shelves of his store in a stand against sugar.
Graham MacKenzie, pharmacist and owner of Stone's Pharmasave in Baddeck, said he made the move amidst growing calls for Canadians to drastically cut the amount of sugar they consume.
"It made no sense to me. Just in good conscience, we just couldn't continue selling," he told CBC's Maritime Noon.
MacKenzie removed pop, diet pop, juice and vitamin water from the pharmacy's shelves on Thursday.
