“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.

‘That’s correlation. Prove causation.’

I drink diet soda so I can eat donuts. There’s your proof.
