- Just when you thought you knew his story, there is so much more.
- Stallone’s story is also a prime example of the power of “NO.”
- Non-sugar sweeteners. (27:00)
- A recent study states that there’s no statistical difference between water and sugar-free beverages (such as Diet Coke).
- Coincidentally, or not, the study was sponsored by the American Beverage Association, which includes soda companies.
- Unfortunately, people may believe this and think they can drink cola drinks without harming their health. (29:15)
- Other sodas market themselves as healthy or “functional” drinks.
- One mixes its own “natural flavors,” but uses things like cassava. The amount of processing even needed to make cassava sweet is suspect.
- The “Dirty Keto” documentary addresses these kinds of products.
- The marketing of these products is shady. Instead of even saying they are simply an alternative, companies market them as “healthy”, which is misleading.
