[link\|http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29434-2004Aug24.html\|Washington Post]: Women who drink non-diet soda or fruit punch every day gain weight quickly and face a sharply elevated risk of diabetes, according to a major study released yesterday. The study of more than 50,000 U.S. nurses found that those who drank just one serving of soda or fruit punch a day tended to gain much more weight than those who drank less than one a month, and had more than an 80 percent increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease. The risk pertained to drinks sweetened with either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. [...] "The message is: Anyone who cares about their health or the health of their family would not consume these beverages," said Walter C. Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health, who helped conduct the study. "Parents who care about their children's health should not keep them at home." Neither diet soda nor unsweetened fruit juices appear to carry the same risks, the researchers found. Although the study involved only women, the researchers believed that the risks also hold for men. FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Besides, isn't Tropicana 100% orange juice? That's what it says anyway. Not every human being who is female and drinks soda gets diabetes. No one truly has nailed down exactly what causes diabetes, and my husband didn't like their study, (as described on our local news) because it didn't even have a scientific basis as in test subjects drank this, that, and others this, that. He also commented that women who drank diet sodas were also probably less likely to eat OTHER sugary items, because maybe they were dieting, so it really didn't prove anything. I've decided that I'm not gonna worry myself to death about every little thing I eat or drink. I try to eat and drink things in moderation, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I have been trying to eat healthier foods lately and more of a balance of protein and carbs, so I figure that's good enough. But thanks for sharing it anyway, Scott. :) Nightowl >8# (Still remembers the year they decided that all women who ate chocolate would gain weight faster.... well I ate some chocolate, not lots, cause I'm not big on it, but I gained almost nothing... and still don't.) (Oh and get this, I also don't gain weight from soda. I still weigh barely 100 pounds or a little over.)
