Incinerator i read something today that said beer has now been found to be good for your bones........
and if saying," I wanna coke" them asking "what kind" I respond with " DIet Dr Pepper" is illegal then Guilty as Charged!!! I live in Oklahoma !!!
however I do know that in Calgary when I order I just say" ummm and a Large Diet Pepsi." I got burned by the coke thing along with dirty stares and comments when I asked them to change to what I wanted plenty of times.

In Singapore, do they use real sugar in their soft drinks? (I'm not going to say pop or soda!)
Or is it like the US where sugar tariffs mean that soft drinks all use high-fructose corn syrup (said by many to have negative health effects)?
Do you really say: "I want a coke" and then you specify: "Sprite" or something in the south? That seems crazy. Can't you just say "I want a Sprite"?

Yes but more often than not it usually goes
Waitress : What would you like to drink? Coke?
me: Yes that sounds great
Waitress: What kind?
Me: OH! ummmm Diet Dr Pepper!

A sample size of 60,000 would theoretically even out all of those factors.

There was no random assignment.
This was quasi-experimental; they just followed people.
Who do you think lives a healthier lifestyle: people who drink 2+ pops a day, or people who do not?
This is a correlation study; it's correlated that if you drink 2+ pops a day, you have a higher chance of pancreatic cancer, it cannot be said that drinking 2 pops a day is what leads to the cancer.

may as well just say drinking sugar, eating high amounts of sugar will prob have the same effect...not to mention people who drink that much pop for that long, prob are overweight and with diabetes too...
file this under another useless scientific study

I think its a case of A->B->C, instead of A->C.
Diabetes increases your risk of pancreatic cancer 2 fold, and the number one cause of Diabetes is........soft drinks.

Technically maybe true, but they did control for things like smoking and diabetes in the analysis, and there is a plausible mechanism for the high sugar intake from pop affecting insulin and the pancreas, leading to pancreatic cancer. This is pretty much as good as evidence for this sort of effect can get really - it's not something you can really do a randomized control trial for. I believe it's still not as big a risk factor for pancreatic cancer as smoking though.

Two soft drinks A WEEK!? I have averaged probably 1.5 drinks of pop (usually Coke) a day my entire life since the age I started drinking it (5 maybe? definitely before I started school).
If this study has any truth to it at all, I should have been diagnosed with diabetes by my 7th birthday.

I can't believe that Kim Mitchell lied to us!
I am starting to doubt whether these "patio lanterns" were in fact "stars in the sky"... I hope he enjoys all of his millions on his throne of lies!
