To make a point, I was just posting this because it surprised me about the 7Up. You guys are right, everything on this planet is connected to cancer. They used to call it "consumption" because there was no name for it.

But 7UP??? Shame on them.

I have a reasonably healthy diet...

But I will NEVER(!) and I mean NEVER give up my tall starbucks. I don't care what you tell me. Those green tea frappacinos and strawberry lemonades make my day. I only get starbucks once every week or so and they are goooood.

I had a clue some of those things were very high in calories, but not THAT high!

Some of them are just obscene, right? I never eat at Baskin Robins... They intimidate me with their 4 dozen ingredients in a milk shake.

I am still ticked enough about the 7Up to consider writing them a letter. And shame on ME for believing them and not reading the label.

Well considering that cancer is cell mutation, and that cell mutation is the reason we are here (without scales or feathers) then the comment about even water causing it makes sense. It's just in our cells. Therein lies the problem with finding a cure... how do you stop Nature's "progress".

But as to the ingredients and their calorie count, that is pretty firm. Y'all may have seen the bit in the Health Care Plan that said that any business with 20+ location has to list the calorie count next to the price on every item? Just offering the info via brochure for those who want to pull their heads out of the sand isn't good enough? Well BRs, Starbucks, McD's, etc all have 20+ so shortly we'll be seeing a blatant display of the calorie counts... should be interesting to see what, if any, difference it makes.

Yeah, what is with that? It might even get bigger! That's some of the corn acting as fiber, maybe. Some of the corn soldiers volunteer to not get digested to help you even more.

Atta corn.
