.... there has to be something to this. Taste buds, gut flora, craving for sweets? Or simply that people that choose water have a healthier life attitude? It could take decades to find out.
Maybe they choose water to nourish their body and that thinking leads to a healthier body.
* Those that drink water have always been normal body weight.
Science will tell us iun a few decades.... WHY? Could it be that those that cannot handle drinking even one glass of water have a tastebud issue?
so by this line of reasoning if everyone at the party who wore a red shirt was fat, red shirts makes people fat?
OMG you didn't know that about red shirts?! (<-humor warning, just in case).
They're also an acute health hazard.9 -

Aspartame has been on the market for about 35 years (maybe more, but I remember first seeing Equal as the hot new 0 calorie sweetener about that long ago). Science has been studying for longer than that. If there were a clear link, especially a causality, between aspartame and weight gain, cancer, or any other doomsayer's calamity of choice, I think that it would have shown up by now.10 -
