Coke!\nThat is really sad, I'm sorry to offend anyone, but our country was founded on religion (as well as politics) and I'm sure that the Pepsi execs don't scratch off the word "God" from their money when they cash their fat checks from selling their product.\nBut I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a marketing ploy to cause commotion so that they will sell more product.  By making such a statement I'm sure that thousands of people are going to grab a can and look at it in the store, and even more will see it on TV, kinda like having free advertising by changing the can, making them look like their patriotic, then causing a scene and hundreds looking at their product.  \n    Food for thought.

A LONG TRAIL OF EVIDENCE LINKS CIGARETTE SMOKING TO LUNG CANCER\n\nAs someone who’s life has been touched by the tragic effects of cigarette smoking, I was saddened last week when the Supreme Court barred the FDA from regulating cigarettes. About 48 million adult Americans smoked cigarettes last year, according to the CDC. That’s one in four people, a fact that astonishes and alarms me. Why? Because this year an estimated 180,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States, and 90% of them will die within three years -- and 96% of these cancer victims are cigarette smokers.\n\n\nIs there a cause-and-effect connection between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer? Two years ago, I wrote my first columns for the Post Dispatch, explaining the scientific evidence that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, and that cigarette smoking is addictive. If these two points are indeed true, then cigarettes , so much a part of American life, are in fact an addictive deadly drug! In the hope of encouraging readers to urge congress to act, I am reprinting these columns. In today’s column we will follow the trail of evidence that proves clearly that smoking causes cancer. In next week’s column I will examine the evidence that smoking tobacco is addictive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOINTING THE FINGER AT CIGARETTES\n\n\nThe long trail of evidence linking cigarettes to lung cancer has its beginnings right here in St. Louis, at Washington University’s School of Medicine. In 1948 a young first-year medical student, Ernst Wynder, witnessed an autopsy of a man who had died of lung cancer, and noted the lungs were blackened. Curious, he looked into the background of the patient. There was no obvious exposure to air pollution, but the man’s wife revealed he had smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for thirty years! Like a dog with a juicy bone, Wynder had found a puzzle that would occupy him much of his professional life, and despite much controversy, he never let go of it.\n\n\nOver the next two years, Wynder doggedly reviewed records to see if there were other cases linking cigarettes and lung cancer. He found that many lung cancer patients were smokers. Interviewing lung cancer patients and "control" patients with other cancers, far more cancer occurred among the smokers. Early in 1950 he published his results in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Comparing 649 lung cancer patients with 600 controls, he found lung cancer an incredible 40 times higher among smokers, with the risk of cancer increasing with the number of cigarettes smoked.\n\n\nLater that year, Richard Doll, a well known British scientist, reported an even more convincing finding linking smoking to lung cancer. Over a period of years, Doll had interviewed quite a large number of physicians, inquiring of each about their smoking habits -- then waited to see which ones developed lung cancer. Overwhelmingly, they were the smokers. Because it was not "after the fact", Doll’s test of the smoking causes cancer hypothesis was particularly rigorous and powerful. From that day forward, the scientific case linking smoking to lung cancer has been clear-cut.

I saw on the news that Diet Soda is bad for you...worse for you than regular soda because of the ingredient that makes it "diet" or whatever...according to mythbusters, soda can dissolve meat over a few days...if it's ALL you drink, it's very unhealthy...drink a few glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated.

it is bad for just about every part of your body to drink soft drinks. if you are still in your growing years (boys up to 22, girls up to 18) soft drinks can do serious long term damage. they aren't good for anyone but especially not for the young. \n\ni say it but i still drink them. however, i did not drink carbonated beverages until after i became an adult and had my only child. before that, i wouldn't risk the possible effects on myself or my child.

Once the liberals have made smoking illegal,[which in some cities it has been and people are getting arrested in Omaha,Ne for smoking in public now],and they are trying to ban guns,they are now going after the beverage industry ie.coca cola and the fatty food police are working on suing Kraft,Nabisco and other companies for the fat content in their foods.And who wants govt in our private lives?Its not the republicans policing fat foods,but we do have common sense.In other words,once they ban the smoking and fire arms,they will start taxing coca cola and hostess twinkies at 2 dollars a six pack or serving.Just watch in a few years,it will happen.

yes i did know i was watching it on some news clip, its really amazinbg but now its up to the government to stoip fighting for oil, and realize we might have to change for once. And that their gonna have to lose money. Later were gonna fight for water, ALthough who knows cuz the guy who made it said he got 100 miles on 4 oz. of water, thats amazing. which means thats less than what we consume of water a day, now imagine what one cup of water could do? and what will happen to gas stations?

Why would you think a synthetic chemical (it has nothing not created in a lab in it) that you are probably addicted to (otherwise you wouldn't be asking and which was purposely made with addictive chemicals) would not be bad for you?\n\nMy question to you is why you are only worried about your triglyceride levels?  Not about your brain cells or diseases(like cancer) caused by cell mutating ingested "foods"?\n\nThey don't call it "cola wars" because of the battle between Pepsi and Coke.  It is a profiteering war against YOU and your health.\n\nDon't fall for it.
