So... as I sit here with my bottle of Diet Pepsi, comes word that this bottle is really bad for me. It doesn't matter what's inside, exactly... since it's a carbonated soft drink... pop... soda.. whatever you call it...
It doesn't matter that I drink the diet version because the lack of carbs is good for my Type 2 Diabetes...
... but then there's this report of a study...
Apparently, if I drink one or more soft drinks a day (which I certainly do) I would have a more than 50 percent higher risk of developing the heart disease precursor metabolic syndrome than people who drink less than one soda a day - diet soda or not, it doesn't matter.
The study, in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, looked at more than 6,000 healthy people, who showed no signs of metabolic syndrome, and then followed up. After four years, 53 percent of people who drank an average of one or more soft drinks per day developed metabolic syndrome. Those who drank one or more diet soft drinks a day were at a 44 percent higher risk.
So... nobody knows the "why" behind this. Not the carbs, not the calories... so... what is it?
OK... so...
...is it wrong to think that somewhere... someone... has started a Dead Pool... for Lindsay Lohan?
I mean, in my opinion, she's gone through all of this "alleged" rehab... and she has no one ... and I mean NO ONE... that is stepping-up to help this girl...
so...it's just a MATTER OF TIME... when she is going to KILL someone with her vehicle... perhaps even HERSELF...
No rehab will help her if she has no support in her life (yeah, like her own family are good role models)... it's obvious that she doesn't get "it"...
... and I don't believe I was actually compelled to even blog about this...
