Carbonated drinks have some effect on leaching the
calcium out of the body which is not a good thing.
Also, the fake sugar in the diet drinks keep the sugar
craving up, or the taste for it at least. Then one
tends to binge on other real sweets. Dr. Arnot said on
his radio program that artificial sweetner was okay, but
my chiropractor recommends Splenda rather than aspartame.
200 packs a day sounds like an awful lot of anything.
Moderation in anything is probably wise. Fruits,
vegetables, poultry, fish, eggs in moderation, light on the
red meat, salads light on the dressing. Water. Dr.
Douglass said a huge amount of water isn't necessary. I
don't know. I drink a good bit of water. Read the labels
and if it says "hydrogenated" anything, that's not good.
Margarine & shortening contain trans fats which are really
hard on the arteries. Whole grains are probably better.
I know all the different books and ideas are overwhelming.
One would go nuts trying to follow all of them. And, yeah,
nuts in moderation are good for you, except peanuts which
aren't really nuts.
