I don't drink regular soda for two reasons, one, it tastes like shit. Two, every time I have regular soda, I feel like my teeth are disintegrating in my mouth and if I don't brush my teeth within 3 minutes they will be gone.

Diet Soda tastes better and doesn't instill that instant tooth decay feeling.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say diet soda tastes better. But diabetes runs in my family, so I try to be responsible with my sugar intake.

Also Spanish, too much spinach is insanely bad for you. It is high in iron, and high iron intake is known to cause gout. So have fun limping around!

What idea is that? To take this shit to the food forum, or to get your own damn site if you want to post articles?

Owoops. I meant The_Excel. Sorry. Embarrassed

It'd be an interesting idea for us all to pitch in and write an article collaboratively. Or we could do commentary on another list like Top 100 NES games or something.

In order for that to work, every candidate would have to undergo rigorous auditioning that I will undoubtedly fail.


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

If there was ever something cartoons taught me, it is that spinach is dangerous. I mean look at Popeye, sure it made him super strong, but it also appears to have given him a stroke at some point. Look at his arms too, he has no muscle on his upper arms, but there appears to be muscle on his lower arms. Really those are cancerous growths caused by eating way too much canned spinach. Who knows what kind of crap farmers put on that shit? At least with diet soda you know what you are getting into.

That wasn't a joke, Mr. Meatloaf, that's actual conclusive, proven science. Spinach has iron, too much iron is bad for you, and leads to gout. There is no conclusive evidence that artificial sweetners are bad for you. Everyone seems to agree that they probably are. But that's zeitgeist, not fact.

Syd, you should have been in that movie "Thank you for Smoking" ... because you are just in total denial of your health.

I don't think it matters much. Who really wants to get so old they crap their pants all the time anyway? I say do whatever the hell pleases you and if it kills you at least you lived life.

How can water be good for you? Check the label. No nutritional value.

The higher than normal iron content in spinach is a myth.

I actually do try to drink some water in the shower, because tap water contains fluoride, which is good for your teeth.

It's on auto-renew, and it's paid out of my bank account. The site can
stay open near-indefinitely.

Also, to address two main points from our recent discussion.

First off, spinach is a legitimate source of iron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinach#Iron

As for water fluoridation, most legitimate scientists consider it perfectly safe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation

Most opponents of fluoridation are either irrational conspiracy nuts or panicky little hypochondriacs who read pseudo-scientific studies overstating the dangers of fluoride. At the accepted dilution levels, it is both beneficial and perfectly safe. The United States Center For Disease Control considers water fluoridation one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.
