Thanks for the links.

I'm not all that offended in general. I'm just saying that you can target the title because it's part and parcel of the article in question.

Well, maybe her article should have a better title, then. But Jezebel trolls for page clicks, and I have to admit, I clicked because the title was so offensive.

Okay. So I used to do HIV research, but it's been a while. I looked up the website you listed, and a few things:

Yes. Me, sometimes. I find that seltzer or my soda stream makes it more palatable.

That poster questioned whether the baby was HIV positive at all, and tests showed that yes, HIV positive. Even if those cells had been maternal, those cells could have established infection if not otherwise treated.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this backlash is necessary. The original article seemed pretty straightforward: The baby had circulating HIV cells, whether maternal or not, and the high dose cocktail prevented HIV from maintaining a reservoir, something that hadn't been attempted in an infant before. This isn't a "HIV has…

100% of all models are skinnier and taller than you and I. At least there's some runway models that are WOC. There's absolutely none that are 5'1. Someone bring me justice!

Quality over quantity!

Yeah, I read that rat-sugar "study". It's published in a terrible journal for a good reason. The experiment has a lot of problems, and its statistical analysis is poorly done.

Yeah. You're quoting from a really crappy journal with terrible peer reviews. Just reading through the rat-behavioral experiment, I can come up with three separate and distinct flaws in the construction that would skew results. Plus, their statistical calculations are off. Wake me up when someone with actual…

WORD. And my body's metabolism is messed up now, too. And why does my back ache?!

EXACTLY. 34 here, too, and all of a sudden I've got some wrinkles and a gray hair and my skin looks different and my body didn't really handle pregnancy so well, and I'm depressed because my career isn't making me nearly the amount of money I thought it would.

I really don't agree with you here. I know you keep repeating these statements over and over again, but there's no real proof that soda is "addicting" in the way alcohol and nicotine are.

You deliberately missed the point. Vegetables are cheap in cans and in the frozen variety.

So make it expensive.

Yeah, I don't agree with the arguments here. When soda bottles went up from 99 cents to about $1.60 a bottle, I certainly changed my spending habits. I encouraged my husband to drink more water, and kept the soda for weekend use. My kids never got it, because why would I spend the money on them when (a) they don't…

First of all, your conspiracy theory claims are a bit specious. There's no evidence to any of these drastic statements you make, like, "Soda is as addictive than nicotine".

It's a lot higher than 1%. A friend of mine recently tried to have a VBAC, and her doctor was one of the few that was very encouraging about it. Baby got stuck on the scar, and if the doctor hadn't decided to do a C-section in the middle, based on very little evidence that the baby wasn't going to make it through a…

Can everyone please stop being so holier-than-thou about soda? I've effectively cut soda out of my life, but even I can't stand the righteousness in here.
