I swear everytime you read something or take something it will cause cancer. When I was little I had to drink milk, now you cant drink lots of milk when you are older. I take calcium pills, now you have to be careful as it can do something to your bones.

You have to watch what you put on your face, on your body, what you eat, drink, etc.

...which is why I bless it and eat everything. Of course I do this in moderation as I have no intention of buying new clothes.

I just read yesterday that if you drink even one diet coke or diet pepsi daily, your risk of heart attack goes up by 50%. I think its a bunch of bolony. Next month someone will say that drinking it is good for you.

I hope that is baloney because I drink diet soda at work. Diet soda has been around for a long time and I have not seen or heard any hard evidence that catastrophic things will happen to me. There are no warning labels on the bottles. I remember very well that "they" used to say that fat will make you fat. But it turns out that is not true - never was.

I don’t read articles like this or pay any attention to the results of the latest studies.

I’ve made it to the brink of 64 years old. I’m going to eat, drink, and live my life as I’ve always done. Every day is a blessing to me, and I’m going to enjoy every minute He allows me to have on this earth. I’m going to eat, drink, and breathe until my time runs out!

When I was little it was polio. One summer I could have popsicles because they caused polio.

That's OK... because everytime you turn on TV they remind you about how to get that Cancer treated!
(That statement not to be taken seriously!)

I do believe that the constant reminders of cancer cause stress and stress causes cancer!

How do you win?

Sorry-forgot the not. No popsicles that summer.

I do remember eating supper w/Mom (Dad was a fireman and working) and hearing on KDKA radio that Salk had developed a vaccine for polio.

I heard the thing about drinking diet soda as well. My take on that is maybe the majority of diet soda drinkers are already overweight and unhealthy.......maybe they drink the soda in an attempt to counteract other poor eating habits.

i just read if you take a vitamin and drink water it flushes the vitamin right out..............?????

What does that mean? Am I just wasteing my money taking a vitamin?

Re: Seriously

2blonde — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 18:30:57 GMT

@MalteseMomma What you heard is basically true. You need to take your vitamins with food in order for them to be well absorbed.

I remember that big Salk announcement. We were happy because mom had been diagnosed with polio in 1952. But no one in my part of PA blamed mom’s diagnosis on popsicles.

I've always gotten a kick out of people who order a diet Pepsi alongside their bacon cheeseburger.

@RedTop

I've got 10 years on you and I've been drinking diet sodas for more years than I remember. And I'm going to continue to drink it.

I’ve heard this heart attack association before. With my being a type 2 diabetic, I am trying not to drink too many diet sodas. It’s the carbonation that I like so I am drinking sparkling waters. I think the sweet diet drinks make me hungry...hard to tell sometimes.

Re: Seriously

Icegoddess — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 19:36:45 GMT

Actually, the article I heard was that people who drank SODAS died earlier due to heart disease although there is no reason given as to why which means no cause/effect. So, they really just don't know. But, it made no difference whether it was diet soda or regular soda.

As far as the bacon cheeseburger with Diet soda goes, once you become accustomed to the diet drinks, the regular drinks taste bad, just like people who are accustomed to the sugar sodas say diet sodas taste bad. For me, a regular soda leaves a sticky sweet taste in my mouth.

I only drink soda now when we go out to eat, but only because I prefer making my own carbonated beverages and my favorite is not a soda flavor. I carbonate a mixture of Sobe Water, Lemonade, and water. So, now that I have been mostly away from sodas, I tire of them very quickly.

It all has to do with making money, everyone has their own angle on things because they want you to buy their product. I think we all know too much of anything is no good for us.
