welby Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 oh so lets outlaw it regulate it or tax it. sensationalist reporting.. not surprised coming from the bbc.. I remember reading an article where diet cola was blamed for making people fatter. The logic being, since it has 0 calories, people thought it was OK to eat even more. OK, in what way is that diet pops fault that people are idiots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 agreed. people do what they want to do.. plain and simple. You cant just outlaw stupidity. I suppose its still good to know this kind of thing but it almost seems like a no brainer to me. its like "not exercising can lead to decreased muscle mass."

ehsnils Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Too much water is also lethal! The big issue that actually was the problem is depletion of potassium salt which disturbs the heart rate. A tad of salt containing potassium salt added to the drink will help. That's usually the case with low sodium salts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
