Diet Soda Problems

It's been documented that those who regularly drink diet soda have problems maintaining weight; the idea is that your sweet detectors in your bowels are turned on by the artificial sweetener, but don't get the calories associated with that, so they keep a person hungry for sweets until they are fed. Now HufPo has an article here that shows older women may have a higher risk for certain cancers. As always more info and research is needed, but really, just stay a bit more natural and drink tea or water, and use honey or sugar for sweetening. If you do have weight concerns, the act of sweetening with sugar will make you more aware of what you put into your body.

I have a few problems with this.

7 Foods Science Proves will help you live longer on HuffPo has some right things and wrong things. First science doesn't prove anything, proofs are for math geeks, science only accumulates data and makes and inference based on the best data they have; and it can change if newer data becomes available, and that is what makes science so powerful. So to to prove say blueberries make you live longer, we'd have to feed you and your identical twin identical diets, but one of you gets blueberries and the other doesn't. So no go on prove.
Second, Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in many things other than salmon. Anchovies, sardines and other benthic organisms all contain them. But so do many grains and plants flax seed and chia seeds being the best for us Vegitarimen/women! So, like all studies and things posted on the web, take it with a grain of salt!
Go forth and Vegitate!

With the passing of one of the inventors of TV comedy, I had to post this. Sometimes we VegitariMan/Women! take ourselves a little too seriously.
