This is quite possibly the biggest instance of 'Doi!!' in recent memory:
Report says sugary drinks pile on poundsWhat next - a report that says that dirt has absolutely zero nutritional value if eaten?Americans have sipped and slurped their way to fatness by drinking far more soda and other sugary drinks over the last four decades, a new scientific review concludes.
An extra can of soda a day can pile on 15 pounds in a single year, and the "weight of evidence" strongly suggests that this sort of increased consumption is a key reason that more people have gained weight, the researchers say.
"We tried to look at the big picture rather than individual studies," and it clearly justifies public health efforts to limit sugar-sweetened beverages, said Dr. Frank Hu, who led the report published Tuesday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

|| Posted by Gracie, August 9, 2006 01:22 PM ||Careful, Mikey, the Fat Police are sucking you in (those that want to tell us what and how to eat "for our own good"). Here's how they came up with their numbers.
A can of Pepsi has about 150 calories. Times 365 days equals 54,750 calories. A pound of fat has about 3,500 calories. 54,750 divided by 3,500 is about 15.
It's a scare tactic. If you're a totally sedentary slob, you'll put on 15 lbs a year.
However, Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital in Boston and a longtime advocate of curbs on soda, said blaming other factors misses the point.
Who the hell is he to tell me what I can or cannot consume? He wants me to "curb" my intake of soda? Kiss my ass.
These Fat Police have to have a target. Instead of saying, "if you eat as few as 150 calories more a day than you burn off - each and every day for a year - you will gain 15 lbs", they come up with the evil "soda-a-day".
Cigarettes. Super-size. Sodas in schools. Now, sodas ANYWHERE.

I'm totally behind your reasoning and your argument, but from personal experience; I cut the can of Mt Dew a day out of my diet and lost the 15 lbs I had gained after I quit smoking.
I agree with you though, this guy has an agenda.

I too have lost signifigant weight by taking soda out of my diet. (Ive also gained it back by adding soda back into my diet :) )
Its not just the calories that work agaisnt you with soda, its the content.
There is a huge amount of suger in that stuff. Ive forgotten the details, but adding all that suger into your system really screws up the way that your body processes the suger it already has.
|| Posted by I_love_slurm, August 10, 2006 08:35 AM ||I switched from drinking soft drinks to cranberry juice cocktail (Hey! The stuff is supposed to be good for ya, Right!?) and started piling on the pounds. When I looked at the ingredients it had even more sugar than soda! Now I drink green tea with 1 tbs of honey per coffeepot full. I'd still like to lose a few but I'm back into a 34" waist instead of 36".
