POPSWhich one is the real thing-Water,or Coke There is a bigger list of the points in favor of each on the page, but I thought some of the water ones involving dehydration, and thirst were important. For more testing on the actual behavior of coke, The TV show MythBusters, investigated coke myths, some were true others not so true. I have done a clip on them 'MythBusters central.' I thought they deserved their own clip.

POPSA Call to Boycott USA and Israel The last source clipped provides a huge list of Israeli and American goods and services to avoid. Governments around the world don't seem to be able to stop the carnage and murder, so I guess it is up to the people of the world to do something.. Do NOT continue to feed the US and Israeli death machines. Let your money do the talking. As of today, I am dumping all the US dollars I have. At least MY money will not go to support the killing.

POPSYour Doughnut Addiction Explained More: When sugar water was substituted for the saccharin solution, the results were the same, researchers said. "Intense sweetness is more rewarding to the rats than cocaine," said coauthor Magalie Lenoir of the University of Bordeaux in France. Lenoir said mammalian taste receptors evolved in an environment that lacked sugar and so were not adapted to the high concentrations of sweets found in the modern diet. Excess sugar could increase levels of the brain chemical dopamine, she said, leading to a craving for sweets.

POPSPOLAR BEARS AND PENGUINS Some people are still under the misconception that polar bears and penguins live together. Not true, polar bears are found only in the Arctic, penguins are only found in the Antarctic. We can thank Coca Cola for this popular myth. But then, you never can tell, penguins can be sneaky.

POPSThe real "Real Thing" On a trip to Mexico I wondered why the Coke tasted so much better. Someone told me it was because they still used cane sugar. Luckily Mexican Coke (as we call it) is sold at my local grocery. It costs around $1.30 per little glass bottle. Ouch! I gladly pay it though, because it tastes so much better and it keeps me from drinking very many. I drink it once a week or so as a treat. If you can find it, give it a try. I do wish it was made in the US. Maybe the trend will give Coca-Cola pause, and they will start making it here. If people will pay more for it, and it seems they will, what's the problem? My biggest problem with HFCS is that they put it in everything. EVERY. THING.

POPS"No Free Lunch" With The President at WH “I’m sure they have their political reasons for doing that, but I think it’s not what quote, hospitality, unquote is all about,” said Letitia Baldrige, who headed Jacqueline Kennedy’s White House staff in the early 1960s. “We’ve got to relax about this. To have people to the White House and worry about the price of things is laughable.” http://www.politico.com/singletitlevideo.html?bcpid=1155201977&bctid=31267189001
