  1. Diet soda is OK on occasion as long as you are not guzzling down 4 litres every day. Filtered water? That stuff tastes awful and disgusting. (especially Aquafina and Dasani). They are just municipal water filtered a few times, Those bottles still have FLUORIDE in them. We buy Bottled Spring water – clean, sweet, cheap and best of all – NO FLUORIDE!!! Sure we eat things like fruit loops and cheerios for breakfast – but what else do you expect us to eat? A slice of buttered toast and a coffee? THAT is not a good breakfast!!! The only soy product consumed occassionally in our house is soya sauce, but I personally cant stand the taste so I stay away from that. All in all, I think we are doing pretty well with what we can afford, especially since food prices are rising so fast.

    1. toast and coffee is better then fruitloops

    Diet sodas are not OK, period. Aspartame is a central nervous system excitant. Like cyanide, a lot is worse than a little. I have heard that the only benign form of soy is organic, fermented soy which puportly is quite healthful. The ancient Chinese obviously knew this. One can buy soybeans and do your own fermentation. It ain’t rocket science. When you take water out of the statistic, honey has almost the exact same saccharide profile as high fructose corn syrup. Maybe Monsanto should design an insect to walk around in their HFCS so certain health food advocates would consider it healthful.

    There is not one of these points that is accurate. Soy is not harmful and there is no evidence whatever that GM crops are any more dangerous than conventional crops. The trace amounts of BPA found in cans is hundreds of thousands of times less than that the amount that could cause concern. MSG is completely safe, as it occurs in many foods everyone eats every day: cheeses, broccoli and tomatoes and soy sauce, for example. Agave is indeed pretty much fructose, but “processed” doesn’t mean anything. It is just a sugar. Sugar sweetened beverages are bad because of the calories. Diet sodas do not have those calories and there is no research to indicate they are harmful. Quite the contrary, there is plenty of research to show they cause no harm.
