POPSThe great orange juice scam I witnessed not once how kid's behavior changing after drinking "Sunnydale" - yellow punch with unimaginable mixture of poisonous chemicals, disguising orange juice flavor. No any Ritalin will be able to repair all that damage to young body and mind. And in fact even famous Tropicana juice is useless, if not also damaging... And what we can tell now about countless beverages around? My rule: if it is even slightly doubtful - don't consume it. Our healing ability is not endless and even minor damages, accumulating, result in something really threatening. Is it worth to try? That's how all diseases starting...

POPS7 Things That Could Leave You Extra Vulnerable to Colds and Flu 
1.) Eating too much sugar doesn't just pack on pounds … A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating 100 g of sugar (think three cans of soda) significantly hampered the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria for up to 5 hours afterward. 2.) There's a reason moms and doctors always push fluids on you when you're sick. Your body needs plenty of water to flush out toxins"and yes, coffee and tea are acceptable sources. How much fluid you should drink daily varies from person to person. You're drinking the right amount if your urine is pale yellow. Drink this immune-boosting beverage instead 3.) You know excess weight is unhealthy for your heart, brain and other organs. But it's also bad for your immune system. In fact, those who become most seriously ill with swine flu tend to share the same characteristic: a body mass index over 40, meaning they are morbidly obese. Excess weight can cause hormonal imbalances and inflammation ...

POPSFt. Hood Shooting, 'This is a Domestic Terrorist Attack' Gen. Barry McCafferty (CNN) -- An owner of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Fort Hood, Texas, said Maj.

POPSTito's vs. Grey Goose The clear winner here is Tito's Handmade Vodka. I implore anyone who is biased towards spirits and their perceived quality because of high price or brand recognition alone to please do yourself a favor and try Tito's. It ranks up there with any of the highest priced vodkas on the market and sells for a fraction of their price. On top of that, it is a genuine Texas-made beverage. Good stuff.

POPSMichael Vick To Face More Jail Time As Sentence is Converted to Dog Years during his probationary period will immediately trigger the conversion of his sentence to dog years. For the purposes of the conversion, Defendant’s sentence will be multiplied by the commonly accepted factor of seven.” Vick completed the 23-month term earlier this year. After receiving high-profile endorsements from perennially naïve nice guy and former Colts coach Tony Dungy, he convinced the Eagles to sign him as a backup quarterback in Philadelphia, where he hopes to reignite his stalled career. What qualifies as boorish behavior was not explicitly laid out by Judge Hudson, but according to federal prosecutors, the serious nature of Vick’s earlier transgressions “really lowers the bar” in terms of applying that definition.

POPSThe school lunch scam Reform in food industry is no less important than reform in healthcare. That's where most diseases grow. Culture of sickness, craziness, violence and apathy has to be replaced by culture of good taste, healthy and delicious natural food. We, and children especially, do damaging ourselves consuming synthetic dishes with countless, meaningless at least, and in fact poisonous, artificial ingredients in mercilessly processed products.

POPSContinental Kidnaps Flyers keeps overnight! By the time the 47 passengers were allowed off the plane early the next morning, more than 10 hours after they'd left Houston, some of them hadn't eaten for as long as 18 hours, Christin said, only to be placated with a coupon for one free beverage. They should all sue Continental - what lousy treatment of their customers. I most likely would have been arrested and removed from the plane, just to get off.

POPSIn case you can't get enough of the NFL Draft... Sure, the NFL and ESPN are going to take a hit here by some who believe they are just being gluttonous. Maybe, but I'll put a more virtuous spin on it. With this new format, the NFL is in fact, going to help the economy and in particular, small business. Every bar owner from South Boston to San Diego has got to be cheering this move as they will surely see greater receipts for the entire weekend. To be sure, they can use the boost right now to help cover their monthly nut. Plus, Anheuser-Busch and the other beverage and spirits makers as well as everyone in between get extra business. That means people keep jobs - even for just a bit longer. How about that, maybe the 3 day draft can actually save a job of an NFL fan. Okay, I'm a dreamer, but for that idea alone I'll support it this change...even though I don't like the idea one bit.

POPSRunning the Numbers – An American Self-Portrait There’s more on the site. The first three photos show 2 million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes. The second three photos depicts 32,000 Barbies, equal to the number of elective breast augmentation surgeries performed monthly in the US in 2006. The visualization of our consumption is much more impactful than numbers that many of us simply cannot comprehend. We are extracting raw materials from the earth at an increasing rate every day and returning it back to the earth, via landfills and the side of the road, in a form that cannot be re-used by the planet. We can re-use it if it would only re-cycle it properly. But how many of us actually follow through on re-cycling? Again, mere numbers don’t have the impact to get people to do it. Maybe these images will be helpful.
