 Dear Reader,
Here's the latest madness from health officials in the US. The state of New York, like Arkansas and West Virginia before it, is trying to break the fizzy drink habit (and pick up some extra cash for the state). Governor David A. Paterson is working on getting a fizzy drink tax passed.
Of course, the fizzy drink industry isn't thrilled with the idea. So he's come up with a plan – label diet fizzy drinks as a healthy choice and make them exempt from the tax. In fact, he's so supportive of diet fizzy drinks that he's even willing to eliminate the usual sales tax on them to appease the soft drink industry.
He says it's all part of the effort to reduce obesity and improve health. Yes, encouraging people to cut out sugary soft drinks might help with that. But if that's the real goal, then letting diet fizzy drinks slip through and characterizing them as part of a healthy lifestyle is a huge misstep.
A spokesman for the Alliance for a Healthier New York is also on board. He points to the money paid out to treat diabetes every year, and says in a news article that this is a "win-win for New York."
You MUST be joking! They're really trying to paint this as a healthy move, with all the evidence screaming that artificial sweeteners are nothing but bad news?
Of course, if all you're concerned with is counting calories, diet fizzy drinks look healthy. New York officials are talking about reducing obesity, getting people to eat and drink fewer calories, and equating this with an actual healthy lifestyle.
Regular Nutrition & Healing and e-Tips readers know this is an absolute joke. For years, we've been covering the many health risks that come along with the bubbly stuff.
For one thing, there's aspartame. I could write a list a mile long about the problems with this one. Let's stick with one particularly scary one. Aspartame appears to cause both direct and indirect changes in brain chemistry. Research has shown that it can interfere with functioning of neurons and could be involved in development of learning disabilities as well as mental disorders. And of course, none of the other artificial sweeteners are off the hook, either!
For another thing, diet fizzy drinks (and fizzy drinks in general), often contain a preservative called sodium benzoate. This nasty stuff has been linked to numerous health problems. A couple of years back, Coca-Cola actually removed it from Diet Coke – but only in the UK.
Or how about the problems with carbonated beverages in general? Fizzy drink is known to exacerbate gastro- oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is linked to oesophageal cancer. The many acids that make up fizzy drink are the culprits here.
It's pretty clear that these health moguls are making a political move, trying to keep industry bigwigs happy. (In fact, an anonymous administration official said the industry should "embrace this idea" because they want to sell products, and this proposal would increase the sale of diet products.) But it's also pretty clear they're willing to put their residents' health on the line to do that.

The surprising way to avoid strep throat
Q: This past winter, my son had four back-to-back cases of strep throat. I really don't want to have the same thing happen next winter. What can I do?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Recurrent strep throat can be significantly reduced or even stopped altogether by eliminating – not just reducing, but eliminating – all milk and other dairy products. It sounds too simple to be true, but it works!
I learned this technique from the book Don't Drink Your Milk! by Dr. Frank Oski, former director of the department of paediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in the US, and have found it to be effective hundreds of times in my own practice over the years.
