I think I've already cited plenty of things to convince reasonable and active minds. I'm fairly sure I'd be wasting my breath and giving you another round to make specious argument. That said, if you're such a believer in science, why don't you go ahead show us the peer-reviewed research that concludes soda is safe and does not impact public health and safety as it is formulated, widely marketed, and sold today. Surely, it would never have been approved by Federal regulators in its present form without such a study to greenlight it as rational and safe.... right?
