I NEED SOME SODA!!!!!!!!?!


Question: I NEED SOME SODA!!!!!!!!!?
My dad's friend is a pediatrician, and he said that some scientists say that artificial sweeteners like Splenda can cause cancer!. I told him that it's almost always made from corn, so it can't be bad!. But he says that the cancer causing part is the chemicals that they put into the corn to make it sweet!. I don't think that that sounds right, but I can't find much information on it!. Plus, since the sugar in sodas are usually made from artificial sweeteners, my dad doesn't let us have soda anymore! I'm going mad without any soda,so if anybody can shed some light on this dilema, please help!. Do artificial sweeteners actually cause cancer, and do sodas have artificial sweeteners in them!? Please help me!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes, artificial sweeteners have been linked to cancer!. The soda companies downplay it by saying you'd have to drink a case of soda every day for 30 years to be at risk!.!.!. well, doesn't that sound like the Big Tobacco companies talking about the risks of smoking cigarettes in the seventies!? They knew smoking tobacco was bad but they told everyone the risks were minimal!.!.!. same as the soda companies!.

You're better off avoiding all artificial sweeteners!.!.!. if you need to have artificial sweeteners because your body can't handle the sugar!.!.!. then you're up the creek!.!.!. but if you are drinking diet soda because you want to drink more soda!.!.!. that's just plain wrong!.!.!. drink water or juice!.!.!. it will help you live longer :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's too bad that this "cancer" scare is still going around and that people believe it!. Many studies have been done on artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (also known as "Nutrasweet") in sodas and elsewhere and study after study has shown that there is no correlation between artificial sweeteners currently on the market in the US today, and cancer of any type!.

Soda isn't good for you anyway!. You'll live trust me!. I stopped drinking pop about 6 months ago for sports and I'm okay!. I just drink water, milk, and gatorade!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I stopped drinking soda all by myself !! In about a week or two, drinking nothing but water, I felt GREAT !!

Soda is poison!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

there so much crap out there that causes cancer

and yes soda will cause cancer, if you drink it everyday till your about 150 years oldWww@FoodAQ@Com

why would you want sugar water in the first placeWww@FoodAQ@Com

sweetener like splenda contains many chemicals alot of people have said may lead to cancer
SUGAR OF ANY KIND FEEDS CANCER

if you ask me almost everything there is causes cancer even
deodorent causes cancer inless it is alumina free
but im not saying drink soda if you can avoid drinking it you are alot better off if you drink one can of soda a day for 365 days you will have gained at least 35 pounds only in that one year because sugar turns into fat !
if you are going to drink any type of soda it should be clear like sprite ,7up, or sierra mist and ONLY once in a while like special occasions because other soda contains dye


-the diet coke is worse for you also because the chemicals they put in it to sweeten it
i know its hard not drinking soda but juice is better for you anyway and it tastes better like juicy juice ,dole fruit juice etc
I add my juice with a little bit of filtered water because its to strong for me

just remember
1!. SUGAR FEEDS CANCER
2!. one can of soda a day for 365 DAYS =35 pounds or more
3!. sugar = fatWww@FoodAQ@Com
