Diabetes Talking

Question:

There is never a reason to drink soda, whether it is diet or not. It is one of the easiest foods to give up, and you will be so much healthier starting Day 1. Andrew Lin

Response:

Why do you guys drink SODA anyways? Don’t you know it’s such an ignorant habit?

Response:

I still think diet sodas can make you fat. Aspartame is a neurotoxin.

Response:

Think about it. Who drinks a lot of soft drinks? Who drinks diet soft drinks? People who are looking for a sweet, oral stimulation. And people who have trouble maintaining their weight or are already overweight. People who maintan a normal weight without much effort will drink regular sodas. So, people who need a lot of sweet oral stimulation and who have trouble with their weight. That group is going to contain _far_ more people who go on to become more overweight or obese. Pretty darned obvious. It is studies like this that really make you wonder about the researchers – motives, IQ, etc.
