Reminds me a bit of the "put a tooth in coke for a month" experiments. I'm not sure these sorts of things mean all that much.

  A friend saw me drinking coke and said he never drank soft drinks after the "tooth dissolves in coke" thing he did in school. So he was probably healthier even though it was based on scare tactics.

    Yup. I quit drinking soda based on a swallowing study I did where I had a pH meter in my esophagus. It freaked me out that I was swallowing something more acidic than my stomach so I stopped drinking it. That was back when fat was still considered worse for you than sugar. Thank goodness for slightly unsound science.

      >"That was back when fat was still considered worse for you than sugar." Just a small addition/correction: Back when all fat was considered worse for you. We've since started distinguishing between trans fats, and saturated/unsaturated fats, and various subtypes of those. Trans fats and saturated fats are still bad, despite what some types would have you believe. As is sugar.
