I have hauled loads to Coca Cola and one on the ingredients in soft drinks is phosphoric and citric acid. That stuff is so potent the trailer is a placarded Haz-Mat load. Now there's some food for thought. I'd have to get some conformation on that, haha! I worked for Coca-Cola almost 6 years as a driver, hauled EVERYTHING they sell/distribute, and never seen 1 HAZMAT load in or out!!! Only HAZMAT vehicle anywhere near a Coke facility was the CO2 trucks that refilled the Carbon Dioxide chambers.

However its very rare for these to be shipped from a Coca Cola facility. Usually these come from the third party or warehouse direct.

It's funny this thread popped up now, cause I'm getting started on the South Beach diet soon. I need to get some of the foods that it calls for. I've already started somewhat you could say. I just finished the book yesterday, looks pretty sensible to me.Basically, lay off the white breads, other bad carbs, and sugars. The hardest part.........................no beer :shock: which isn't a problem now that it's cool, when it's hot is when it's tough to beat the temptation. I'd like to drop 40 lbs, we'll see how it goes.

I'm 57, and as a kid we played in dirt lots, got dirty, had "dirt clod" fights, played sand lot sports, got scrapes, cuts, broken bones, and all the rest. We didn't park on our butts in front of the TV or a video game. We were outside whenever we could get away with it...otherwise you ended up doing "chores" :x I see small kids now who are well on their way to being sumo wrestlers. Fat little buggers...and their parents haven't the spine to say no to the little buggers. I do believe that there are chemicals being added to foods nowadays that never were before. My Grandfather lived to be 97, my Grandmother 83. I never had to worry about my weight....until much later. When I joined the Army in 67' I weighed 155 lbs.... dropped to 145 in Vietnam...but got it all back and then some after I got home finally. But, like some of you...I was drinking a 6 pack or more of soda a day... and I was gaining weight. I quit drinking the regular sodas, and lost the weight....but have since cut out regular sodas almost completely.... I have noticed a difference in how I feel. GH... I know what you mean about the studies.... and many are probably government funded indirectly if not directly....and one year or three they say that this or that will kill you, then the next study reverses it.... for instance all the studies on "eggs". I think however, that in many ways...regarding what is or is not healthy, the truth may never be known....because as a paper regarding Agents Orange, Blue and White said...."inert ingredients" in products do not have to be disclosed...and are covered under patent laws as secret. So, I have a tendency to think that many chemicals introduced to the food chain are effectively hidden as "trade secrets"... :shock:
