Soda is the worst thing.
Fake fat, fake colours, fake flavours, fake sweeteners: this is poison.
I can't remember last time I had a soda. It tastes like acid to me now.
If it's not 100 per cent pure maple syrup, it can't be called 'pure maple syrup.'
We have too many poisons in our diets now, like sugar and caffeine.
We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.
Sugar was an issue in the '80s, so you would see low-sugar products; fat was an issue in the '90s, so you'd see low-fat products.
Artificial sweeteners may trigger cravings for other sweet foods. When your body is not fed nutrients, it asks again and again for more food, triggering heavy-duty cravings for fattening, sugary foods. Artificial sweeteners also mess with your metabolism.
I try to not eat as much sugar, but it's so hard in our American diet to do that... It's hard to completely avoid.
I don't drink soda.
But with the Industrial Revolution and introduction of various industrial techniques for purifying sugar, we have a situation in which what we are consuming is not good nutritionally or ecologically.
Drinks-wise, I stick to water, sometimes a Diet Coke.
My advice is to give up stevia, aspartame, sucralose, sugar alcohols like xylitol and malitol, and all of the other heavily-used and marketed sweeteners unless you want to slow down your metabolism, gain weight, and become an addict.
For the most part, I try to stay away from high fructose corn syrup and citric acid.
Tricking your brain into thinking you are getting something sweet plays dirty tricks on your metabolism.
There is really no room in any healthy diet for trans fat, artificial sweeteners, and artificial colors in food.
I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.
A bee rose up from a sun-filled paper cup, off to make slum honey from some diet root beer it had found inside.
In the U.S., too many yogurts are filled with corn syrup, preservatives, artificial this and that. To me, this is poison.
Sweeteners, which can be up to 300 times sweeter than natural sugar, are known to increase appetite and result in overeating. Be on the lookout for artificial sweeteners, and when possible, steer clear of them.
I love cola.
Junk food was never allowed at home, and personally too, there is no love for aerated drinks.
Honey isn't really that good for you.
I don't drink soft drinks. I remember someone saying to me that having a soft drink with a meal is like having two meals.
Processed sugar - there's nothing good about it. It's a huge, huge industry, and it's poison.
