Awwwww, dang. Why do we always have to give up the good stuff? Why can't okra and turnips be found to be bad for us?

Even the quickest crudest search produces reports like this ...

Quote:
They calculated that one serving daily of a sugar-sweetened beverage was
linked to a 19 percent increase in the relative risk of cardiovascular disease.
The study was published online in the journal Circulation last week.

Sugar-sweetened drinks were linked with adverse changes in levels of HDL,
triglycerides and C-reactive protein. Dr. Frank B. Hu, senior author of the
analysis and a professor of medicine at Harvard, said that a study a little over
two years ago found similar results in women.

ps ... Yes it is so unfair , anybody who eats turnips should be put out
of their misery .
