COMPARING COKE AND CARROTS ????

[Guest guest]

Now here is some real high quality health and nutrition science for us.

 

Comparing Coke And Carrots? With great science like this, I bet Coke

wins. They will also probably find out that all of those sweeteners

are almost miracle foods in themselves.

At a conference on sugar and other sweeteners, medicine and

epidemiology professor Adam Drewnowski challenged the World Health

Organization's characterization of soft drinks as " energy-dense

foods. " He said that soft drinks' " high water content gives them

the energy density of fresh carrots. " Oldways Preservation &

Exchange Trust, a think tank on food issues, organized the

conference, which was sponsored by Coca-Cola's Beverage Institute

for Health and Wellness and co-sponsored by four sweetener

manufacturers. Oldways' president explained, " If you want to deal

with a serious problem, you have to try to get as much information

as you can. Who knows more about this than Coca-Cola? "
