“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save & preserve it.”

Plato 427-347 BC







“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”

Vince Lombardi

The Dark Side Of Vitamin Water

Alistair Ramsay - Tuesday, August 10, 2010
I stumbled across a great article this morning written by John Robbins which follows on extremely well from yesterdays blog post on energy drinks!

Check out the opening paragraphs......

Now here's something you wouldn't expect. Coca-Cola is being sued by a non-profit public interest group, on the grounds that the company's vitaminwater products make unwarranted health claims. No surprise there. But how do you think the company is defending itself?

In a staggering feat of twisted logic, lawyers for Coca-Cola are defending the lawsuit by asserting that "no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage."

Click here to check out the full article!

As with many other energy drink manufacturers, Coca-Cola just uses the power of massive marketing budgets to mislead people into buying what is in fact a really low-grade product. Don't fall for the same trap.........
