Re: Finally an honest article! Can Drinking Diet Soda Help Me Lose Weight?

[Guest guest]

There is no soda that is actually diet that I can think of. On another note the

coloring in colas such as Pepsi and Coca Cola is said to be carcinogenic. There

was a study that Dr. Mercola's site has mentioned that the coloring is highly

toxic to the human body. You do not hear anything about that in the media.

Buyer beware. I stay away from all sodas and drink green tea instead.

To your health and recovery,

Al

Can Drinking Diet Soda Help Me Lose Weight?

The average 12-ounce can of cola delivers 150 calories, almost all of them from

sugar.....No study to date has ever shown diet soda to be especially useful in

helping people prevent or shed unwanted pounds. In fact, there is a growing body

of research that seems to suggest that high diet soda consumption is associated

with a higher risk of obesity and may surprisingly carry an even greater risk of

obesity than drinking regular, full-calorie and -sugar drinks.

Yeah, we also didn't hear in the media that just one .... ONE ... regular soda

per week can increase chance of pancreatic cancer by as much as 50%!!!!

WHAT???? Yup, I read that not too long ago. Sure glad I couldn't care less

about soda!

The soda industry considers this study flawed:

" .One example, he says, are the small numbers of pancreatic cancer cases. He

points out that of the 140 cases, 110 of those people did not drink sodas,

while 12 had less than two servings a week, and 18 had two or more servings

a week. " [ " two or more " averaging five]

This does not make the study flawed, but I think the risk is overemphasized.

I do think there should be a study comparing the effects of fructose vs

sucrose and of chromium levels vs pancreatic cancer. Fructose-rich corn

syrup that sweetens modern sodas depletes chromium, a mineral commonly used

as a supplement to help bring down sugar levels.

The soda barons have their agenda: they'd love to replace every mother's

teat with a cola fountain. The anti-soda terrorists would love to storm the

palaces of these barons, hold them down and waterboard them with colas.

Now that even diet cola has been shown to be problematic, I'm going to the

lab and develop an imitation diet-cola-like product. I'm just afraid some

crook out there is going to imitate my imitation.
