Lots of salt and sugar in regular drinks and lots of cancerous ingredients and salt in the diet stuff.

The one thing I do that is bad is drink sodas, so I have them with lots of ice and I make sure I have half water that way.

Both types of sodas bloat the stomach and the regular soda does have a ton of sugar.

Other processed foods have also gotten worse for us as well. Starbucks, cake, ice cream, cookies, pizza and so on.

I guess the old saying that is most true is everything in MODERATION.

I smell a connection between global warming and diabetes coming.

So diabetes is really Bush's fault.

The problem can be more easily linked to low fat diets. Low fat diets are high in carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrates cause weight gain and have a negative effect on blood sugar.

I think you are on to something, here. "Low fat". Look back a number of years BEFORE the Tab/Fresca generation, people had much more solid fats in their diets - diabetes? Rare.
