I don't buy this.

I’m apparently long dead.

A convenient study, considering the push against soda from various leftist politicians across the country.

[workerbee]

Diet Coke is my coffee - has been for years.

I’m probably a dead woman walking.

Somewhere in here I smell Bloomberg...

Ooh here we go...

[driftdiver]

Funny how all this stuff is coming out suddenly.

Living causes your cells to age so I think it’s high time we banned living.

[gop4lyf]

I don’t care. You have to die from something, so you might as well die happy. I refuse to give up my Big Red!

if it does shorten telomere length then it is a factor in shortening lifespan.

the longer you can keep telomeres the better.

[Parley Baer]

Did Bloomburg pay for this study?

[tiki]

"and it's known that telomere length MAY be linked to life span" LOL

Sounds like it MAY not really be a very scientific study.

[Vendome]

And that’s why you see so many people walking around, with a hole in their stomach and a tube with a bag attached.

Carbonation kills...

I heard this stoopit thing a couple years back and tbat was my instant response.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I enjoy a soda with my cigarette.

The study didn't actually "find" any such thing.

Researchers also looked at the effects of diet soda and fruit juice on telomeres; while "100 percent fruit juice was marginally associated with longer telomeres," they write in the American Journal of Public Health, diet sodas and non-carbonated "sugar-sweetened beverages" weren't associated with telomere length.

So apparently non-diet soda in the amount of 20 ounces daily may have been associated with shorter telomere lengths, which may or may not be associated with aging. That's a little tenuous to be called "science". Just my $0.02.

Not sure about the cells, but those gulping on soda do have rotten teeth. But you can get em fixed these days.

[relictele]

Fox annoys with their fearmongering articles sourced from - wait for it - the rapidly dying-out Time Magazine.

The study was performed by UC-San Francisco. Think there was any a prior and confirmation bias at work there?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Ha Ha. Not if I exfoliate and moisture each day!

I’m not a soda drinker; I like my Whiskey neat. :)

[Common Sense 101]

Yeah right... sure it does. Oh wait... how long before the demonic nany state libtards suggest a “soda be worse than cigerettes” tax to save the retardation that now passes as the U.S. population? in 3... 2.... 1...
