Its interesting how America is the ONLY country i have been to that prevalently sells “fat free” and “low fat” foods.
In japan, korea, china, romania, turkey, france… everything is basic. there is of course SOME low fat products… i mean they are existent… they are just not common.
If you go to convenience store in Japan, their Diet Coke is maybe.. 1 rack totalling 5 bottles. that’s it! in america… you can find MORE diet coke than regular coke! ANY processed food product there is usually AT LEAST 50% penetration as a diet version. YET… somehow… the people are still overwhelmingly fat! WHY!!! maybe cause they eat too much…..
or maybe… its cause all the crap they do eat… while not so high in calories… is packed with chemicals and junk that the body cannot process…. you ever LOOK at what’s inside diet soda? what gives it that “special good good feeling”?
* carbonated water – carbonation can cause sterility in men.
* caramel color – color? as in not natural? as in might-as-well-drink-paint off a wall?
* aspartame – linked with cancer, depression, and addictive habits … verified in rats.
* phosphoric acid – used to remove rust!
* potassium benzoate – used to stop growth of bacteria… as in helps keep food fresh! its also not recommended to be taken by children. nice.
* natural flavors – such as?
* citric acid – no harm here… just stings in your eye….
* caffeine – a little a day can help you! so can crack-cocaine according to SOME users…
don’t get me wrong… i love diet coke! drink it every day. i also am struggling to stop gaining weight… the problem is NOT diet coke. the problem is the lifestyle here. hell, regular coke adds all that, PLUS the friggin 400 calories of sugar per 1 can! drink up!
