More unadulterated slop from the Center for Socialism in the Public Interest.Well said.
High Fructose Corn Syrup?..............
Empty calories.
H20, CO2, C6H12O6, and a pinch of carcinogens for flavor. Didn’t we all know this?
Barack’s big-big-big time supporter, the Indian babe who runs Pepsi....pleased she will not be.
The good news is that it only causes cancer in California.
“Soda drinkers are much more likely than non-soda drinkers to develop weight gain, obesity, diabetes and other health problems.”
That’s correlation. Prove causation. Maybe fat, lazy people are simply more likely to like soda.
“People who swim in the ocean more than twice a year are more likely to develop cancer than people who don’t.”
Hmmm - what’s the real cause? The ocean or exposure to the sun?
I’m not saying soda feels like the best drink you can imbibe, but this is junk science, all around.
“In a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the consumer watchdog group Center for Science in the Public Interest called on officials to ban the use of caramel coloring in popular soft drinks, citing a possible cancer risk. “
POSSIBLE!?!?!?! It’s possible the moron will get hit by a Chevy Volt on his way to the office tomorrow. Maybe we should stop making them...
Oops.. never mind.
I’m drinking a Diet A&W Root Bear right now. First ingredient listed? Caramel coloring! I done for. Ack! Ack ack!
When a kid, I quaffed Coke, Pepsi, and similar sodas like they were going out of style, and had trouble gaining an ounce. Now they are occasional treats for me, and I am fighting the battle of the bulge. Go figure, there ain’t no justice in this calorie counting world.
Give a small group of hygiene challenged, drug loving Marxists, a fax machine, and you have the media drooling over anything they have to say.
The media have been taking this communist bait for as long as I can remember and talking it up like these stained underwear vermin were actual scientists.
CSPI=Communist, Socialist, Progressive, Idiots.
“POSSIBLE” cancer risk is the money word. It’s kind of like they thought cyclamate would be a likely cancer provoking substance because of the shape of its molecule, yet epidemiological studies showed it to be no riskier than saccharin. You still can’t get cyclamate in the USA, but you can in Canada.
‘That’s correlation. Prove causation.’
I drink diet soda so I can eat donuts. There’s your proof.
I remember a study that showed sugar causing cancer. As does chlorine in water.
The death rate is 100%. (minus 1)
““POSSIBLE” cancer risk is the money word.”
Too late for poor old Doc Bogey! This is his nurse, Gundarena. He’s lying on the office floor, dead as a doornail. He’s turned kinda caramel colored! Just like Obama! :^)
I am awarding you the Nobel Prize in Science.
You’ve done more research than many past prize winners. ;-)
Dammit Kalifornistan... Leave us the hell alone.
Did they do a cola-noscopy?
“Soda drinkers are much more likely than non-soda drinkers to develop weight gain, obesity, diabetes and other health problems”
Not when ya mix whiskey with it!
You don’t seem to recognize sarcasm when you see it.
