I remember watching that pediatrician's lecture on sugar and HFCS about a year ago and everything he says is spot-on. Our benevolent FDA, which bans foods because they lower cholesterol, has not set any limits, warnings or recommendations for sugar, or worse, frankensugar (HFCS). Yet Americans and their children just keep getting fatter and fatter. Meanwhile, the worthless MSM and government tends to blame video games and purported laziness instead of poor quality, industrial-based food. I guess they don't think kids in Japan play video games.


All I drink is Coffee and Coca-cola. I by no means am fat. I actually have 2% body fat.

My wife says I have a tapeworm.

That level is very dangerous. I got down to 4% after being in a coma and even then I had all sorts of problems. Are you sure you measured correctly?

And you can die of water poisoning. LOL Really you can.

Water poisoning - definition of Water poisoning in the Medical dictionary - by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Anything can be life threatening if used wrong. So what is your point poindexter?

Coke definitely is bad for your health, no doubt about that. I stopped drinking insanely sugared water years ago, don't miss it. No need to make it illegal, though.

I don't think it should be illegal, but I think people should be made aware of its negative health effects.

Agreed. What's super scary is how the government is coming at us from every angle owver the past four years to control our freedom of choice. I always get the impression Obama is "playing dad" and lording his self-perceived superiority over average americans.
I think we are truly witnessing a transition to a Marxist society.

Both should be legal, but sugary drinks cause far more harm to society than marijuana.

No you don't, unless you're teetering on the brink of death from systemic organ failure.
