[Buck]

Added sugar in particular. Most fruit is okay.

Please watch this.

Diet Soda is a TERRIBLE example! That is simply an example of people who are willfully ignorant and use it as an excuse. There is no shortage of information on how bad that shit is if you spend 2 seconds looking it up in an era where everything is a goddamn google click away. Substitute processed foods, in their entirety, are terrible for you. That includes butter substitutes as well.

I mean I didn't think you were talking about stuff people could easily figure out on their own. Hell man, ignorance isn't an excuse for stupidity. All soda is poison anyway. That's not hard to discover. It should have a warning label on it.

I don't think it's a terrible example. You really, really, really have to pay attention to know what you're eating. If you stop drinking soda, you go to diet soda under the illusion that less calories is better. If you stop drinking that, you drink juice or soda (even Minute Orange Juice) only to learn that it's loaded with sugar. Same with milk. No? What about Vitamin Water. Surely water infused with vitamins can't be bad for you.

If you don't know how to cook, well then you're ****ed. You stop eating fast food, so you go to Panera and don't realize that that lean sandwich is bombarded with bread oozing with greasy butter. Or you go to buy some whole wheat bread and don't realize there are a gazillion additives to make it taste a little better. See where I'm going?

I don't eat like shit. But maybe 5 years ago, I paid attention to my nutrition and even when I was paying attention, I realized I was making a ton of mistakes. It shouldn't be this hard for people who are really trying. And it needs to be to the point where even people casually conscious of their diet know within a quick glance exactly how bad some stuff is for you. And I agree, one way to do that might be to have seals certifying that a certain food meets certain health standards.

Um, it is.

Diet soda won't make you gain weight.

Diet soda is really bad for you. As are low-fat chips.

Time for you to use Google.

I don't really give a rat's ass about what diet soda will or will not cause.

I'm just excited - since eating quality, & I'm not typing this to be funny.
But I've been having 'complete' shit sessions. It's so nice to be operating normally again. Everybody - start eating right and you will poop like it's nobody's business!!

Buck,

Give us your sagely wisdom on what people with hypoglycemia.should be eating.

More like time for everyone to use Pubmed. Diet soda doesn't increase weight. It also doesn't give you cancer.

The question of whether diet soda causes weight gain or not is still unsettled territory, with there being a correlation but no provable/disprovable causation determined, so I'm not sure what you think Pubmed is going to do about it.

Get people to do research for themselves and see that there is no causation link between diet soda and weight gain. It's not "unsettled territory." They can't prove that the link exists. The only reason it's still an issue is because people are trying to blame the diet soda instead of the person drinking it making poor dietary choices.

It is unsettled territory, as even some of those who don't believe there's a link have acknowledged. The reason it's still an issue is because it's still an issue.

Show me a study where the research group and the control group ate the same exact diet at the time the study was done?

It is based solely on the fact that those who originally drink soda (loaded with calories), then switch to diet to "lose weight", are largely making poor decisions with their food choices and nothing more.

Well . . . you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

There's something weird going on with soda. I weigh myself religiously every day, and on days when I have soda my weight shoots up. I'm talking a lot. More than the weight of the soda. I really think soda does something to your system that makes you retain fluids or something.
