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.

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