diet sodas

Following Australias lead only diet sodas will be allowed in schools. When I was in school there were no soda pop machines, to allow them at all show a lack of concern for the health of the children. The only thing worse than soda in schools is diet soda containing "aspartame".

Aspartame causes serious helth problems and anyone drinking it should find an replacement. Aspartame containing artifitial sweetners faid FDA approval year in and out untill Donald Rumsfeild(Death) pushed it through by replaceing personnel.

Don't believe me check it for yourself. Brain scaring is one of the problems with aspartame products, it does not need to be in schools!

    quote:For 16 years, the FDA resisted pressure to approve aspartame due to safety studies linking the artificial sweetener to numerous adverse reactions, including the development of brain tumors in animal studies. In 1977, FDA investigator Jerome Bressler released a report describing how, in clinical studies submitted to the FDA, Searle removed aspartame-induced brain tumors that developed in lab rats and placed them back into the study. If the rats died, Bressler reported, Searle would resurrect them on paper.

    In a personal conversation with Martini and prominent aspartame experts, Doctors H. J. Roberts and Russell Blaylock he admitted the studies were so bad FDA removed 20% of the most damaging data of his report.

    Three years after Donald Rumsfeld became CEO of Searle, aspartame was approved for use in dry goods. To find out how he accomplished this feat, click into the new movie, "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World" and hear the words of renowned Washington Consumer Attorney James Turner as he speaks about President Reagan's Executive

    I was watching "Dr. Stangelove" the other night on TBS. I like the part where Col. Ripper starts ranting about flouridated water being a communist plot. I cant believe they used to think such things back in the '50s and '60s, but listening to RJ makes it easier to understand.

    the fluoride being dumped into the water is an industrial chemical and was used by the nazies and stalin in the gulag, it does nothing for teeth. The main ingredient in prozac is fluoride. I use a distiller even though my town claims they are not drugging the water.

    Do not believe a word I say check for yourself.

    You mean fluoridated water wasn't a communist plot?

    I have always been a firm believer in purity of essence. That is why I drink only distilled water and do not inhale in Toyota dealerships. Aspartame is also found naturally in borscht and certain feminine hygiene products. Coincidence?

    Hmmmmm...................as I recall it wasn't until I was in High school (76-80) that there was a soda machine on school grounds and the only machine was way out by the gym ( no time to get there between classes and most of the time frozen because of a lack of sales). I seriously doubt that were any sugar free drinks available then other "TAB" and that was terrible tasting stuff drank mostly by diabetics and filled with (gasp) saccharin and who knows what.
    I don't believe todays generation will suffer without a few hours of soft drinks. After viewing the average stature of the children at my daughters elementary school, they could do to go without a lot of other things also.[V][:(]

    Jim, I agree that World Wrestling Federation is a bad thing , or even the World Wildlife Fund for that matter.

    ...well, I think sometimes some of the "moral" police should keep their nose out of our lives...this is one of those times.
    ...Give me a break, soda's...whats next? If these jerks that decided to stop the sell of evil soda's would spend the time and money ON figuring out how to better educate these kids...we would be better off...[;)]

    I hate diet anything.... im on the skinny side... i need my calories, damn communists are trying to take them away from me cause shanequa and billy bob stuff too many curly fries down their throat.

    Yea... rather than give you sugar, lets give you something your body cant digest, but tricks your taste receptors into thinking its getting a sugar.... thats alot healthier for you than 100 measly calories.

    A high school male kid that gets enough excercize and weighs say 170 lbs is gonna need around 3,000- 3,500 calories, you tell me its those sodas that are making them fat?

    its not like sodas have enough calories in them you can drink them all day and not get hungry (unless you drank 30 of them).
    Diet drinks are the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.

    Jim, you might want to ask your distiller to slip a little extra water in his product.

    This is PROZAC. . .persons who have the Chemistry skills of seventh graders (or higher) should be able to tell the difference between this and fluoride (which is a halide ion):

    And this is a partial list of the groups that think that putting fluoride in drinking water is the cheapest, and safest way to help reduce dental caries in the public:

    Diet sodas contain benzene. They found out there is a chemical reaction between the citric acids and other chemicals in diet soda that are creating benzene in diet sodas.

    Yummy.

    Paxil is a fluorinated drug called "paroxetine" (also called Seroxat, Aropax). These drugs are designed to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (serotonin reuptake inhibitors - SSRIs) and hence interfere with the biological actions of serotonin, a neurotransmitter.

    Both drugs contain fluorine and chloride. Fluoride is present as a '4-fluorophenyl' compound, part of the 'active' ingredient.

    I'm not just making things up off the top of my head. It looks like once again Col. Plinko, and a few others, are the ones out there. Trust your government. Alot of things are made out of fluoride including pesticides and fertilizers.

    Chemically speaking "made out of" is somewhat overstating the case. Sodium Floride is included in those things, but they are not made out of it.

    I hate to admit agreeing w/Revjim, but as a father with young kids in school, I'm in favor of removing the soda machine. Replace the pop with natural juices, milk or even bottled water.
