Weight-Loss
What do you think about the posibility to develop cancer because of soft drinks ?

The latest tests revealed levels of benzene ( an aggressive carcinogen and may lead to leukaemia and other cancers of the blood ) up to eight parts per billion in some soft drinks.

ah, glad you posted this! i saw this on the news the other night and had totally forgotten about it. i'm so glad i have eliminated soda from my diet for the most part anyway. now the only time i drink it is diet coke if i'm having an alcoholic beverage.
 
The effects of artificial sweeteners are well known but not well published. Nutrasweet, is converted into formaldehyde by the liver. Would you drink formaldehyde? You could try but wouldn't live to tell about it. I refuse to drink anything that contains nutrasweet (aspartame) or saccarhin. I have however consumed some splenda (sucralose) which is converted into chlorine after digestion. I see it like this, a short term use to try and lose weight shouldn't have any severe permanent effects, or at least be less harmful than being overweight is.
 
First of all I have went cold turkey on my 12 pack (Minimum) a day of diet coke. I thought this much diet soda has to be bad for me. I went cold turkey on 08/15/05. Thats the day I started changing my life.

When there is a study my questions is are -

1. Who did the study.
2. Who is paying for the study.
3. What are the credentials of those who did the study.
4. Are they selling anything pro or con, of the product they did the
study on.
5. How many people was the study on.
6. Possible, may, could & so on; what are the odds above those that
do not partake in that product or activity.
7. How long have the people that did the study been in business. Are
they in good standing. Like a doctor is he still licensed. How long has
he been a doctor. Has he ever had anything to do with the
company/product, the study was done on. Etc.



I think there should be a law requiring these above items be disclosed anytime something is being printed about a study, pro or con.

You would think the news media (TV, RADIO, PRINT, INTERNET ETC...) would find out the facts. Do we find out any of the above things when something is reported. I can't think of anytime I've heard the above items when a news report is done on a study. The news reporter has one objective & that is to destroy someone to make a career for them selfs, and they do it without finding out the facts or if they have the facts they do not disclose them.

ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't seen this newest study. I read studies YEARS ago about soda being strongly linked to cancer. Soda has tons of negetive health effects. :(
