Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 30, 2018 3:32 pm

Italy is a country profoundly committed to good food and drinks. In 1993, Parma Ham producers were well ahead of the curve when they collectively moved to ban the widely used carcinogen nitrate from being used in their products.

Microplastics…reason no. 312 not to drink soda!

America’s long love affair with soda is finally over.

Water Ionizers vs Soda? It’s a NO BRAINER!

Too much sugar. The weird aftertaste and mounting concern over artificial sweeteners used. The rising fears about some of the chemicals used to produce soda’s addicting taste.

We’re not surprised to hear about soda’s much-anticipated decline. However, soda hasn’t quite disappeared from the shelves just yet.

The sales numbers for soda are still alarming – but there’s reason for optimism.

Americans drank 12.3 billion gallons of soda in 2017 – down a significant 1 billion gallons from 2012.

Some people are turning to carbonated water to get their “fizzy fix,” but are these people being ripped off, and can they trust what’s in …

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 12, 2016 9:00 am

 
For most of us, it’s true to say that you’re never very far from a can of diet soda.  The soda can is so ubiquitous in our lives that we hardly notice it sitting on a co-worker’s desk, and we barely flinch when they’re thrust into our children’s hands at parties.  We have a vague idea that they’re not exactly great for our health, but they’re sugar-free, right?  So how bad can it be, exactly?  Let’s look the other way again.

It’s what they don’t list on the can that’s the problem.
It’s what they don’t list on the can that’s the problem.
