Re: soda causes obesity

Stephen;   re: soda vs pop vs soft drink terminology   Do you remember the "Pop Shoppes" (http://thepopshoppe.com/flash_site/main.html) that opened up in Quebec (and perhaps elsewhere) in the 70's? Many-flavoured cheap no-name "pop" in red plastic 6-bottle carry-cases. Or did your family refer to these as "Ginger Ale Shoppes"?  ;-) They went out of business, but have been recently revived.   Growing up in Toronto and Montreal, my family spoke of pop (although not as much in the later years) and soft drinks, but never "soda" (which brings to my mind that yucky soda water stuff).   BTW, the original link to the pop-obesity article worked fine for me.   -Max   Maxwell Gwynn, PhD Undergraduate Advisor Department of Psychology Wilfrid Laurier University 75 University Avenue West Waterloo, ON N2L 3C5 Canada   (519) 884-0710 ext 3854 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/7/2006 5:38 PM >>> On 7 Mar 2006 at 12:15, Annette Taylor, Ph.

But is this the same article, as reprinted in the Las Vegas Sun? http://tinyurl.com/fveqz And the article doesn't work for me either. Do you think they can say "randomized control study"? But around these parts up here,  we don't say soda. I think you must be referring to what we call "soft drinks" or, for some reason I don't understand, my own family idiosyncratically taught me to call  "ginger ale", although it isn't. "Pop" isn't in my vocabulary either. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
