Q: I've heard so much about the dangers of drinking soda. Is it really all that bad for you? Or is it just empty calories?

I get that, but soda has NOthing else but that shit in it.
I read ingredients and when I see a brand of peanut butter (for example) that has sugar or corn syrup in it, I DON'T buy it. When I see yogurt that has sugar/syrup: don't buy. repeat, rinse.
However, when i see peanut butter that has ONLY peanuts, I buy because peanuts are good for you.
I have seen vanilla bean with corn syrup!!! can you believe that???
oy vey!
it's not that sugar itself is "bad", it's that they put it in freaking everything. and that's just f'ed up

What a classic ad. Pure 100% awesome. Too bad my suspicion was correct, and it's fake. (sigh) Why do I do this to myself?

look... fact checking" funny" things is something only nerds do... so if you're wondering why you did this to yourself it is because you have a latent humour bone...(all three pounds of my sarcasm bone are being used here)... i know its not a real ad... i saw that when i google imaged it because a whole bunch of disclaimers showed up too... i just thought it was funny... and im sure... somewhere in the real world... some ad rep or lobbyist has prolly actually said this to somebody (thank you for smoking came to mind)...
la·tent
adjective /ˈlātnt/
- (of a quality or state) Existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden; concealed
- - discovering her latent talent for diplomacy
- (of a bud, resting stage, etc.) Lying dormant or hidden until circumstances are suitable for development or manifestation
- (of a disease) In which the usual symptoms are not yet manifest
- (of a microorganism, esp. a virus) Present in the body without causing disease, but capable of doing so at a later stage or when transmitted to another body
Yah... Well, ya didn't throw any hint here that it was fake, and I guess I just don't have that kinda read on your humor, yet. I stand by my statement that the ad was 100% pure unfiltered awesome. And, I guess like the flying wings thing... I was hoping it was real. Twas not to be.

u know... ur right... the wing thing i shouldve looked at first... but i wanted to believe it because otherwise mans achievements seem to focus on the bad things we do to each other... the pop ad i came across on one of those photo sites and when i first saw that i thought... well i do have a bunch of old camel ads that talk about how great drs and pilots and soldiers all prefer camels, things were different then... and then i googled it (nerdhood, takes one to know one) because im a bona fide nerd myself...

This news from Princeton sort of belongs in this thread. It finds (once again) that high fructose corn syrup makes you fat and diabetic. This is territory we covered way back here but this study says that HFC is even worse than white sugar.
