Do You Like Diet Soft Drinks?

Yet another study confirms what people have been saying for ages: 

Stop drinking diet soda. Like, right now. 

Drinking just one 12-ounce can of an artificially sweetened fizzy drink per week can increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes by 33 percent, French researchers found. And given that most people don't stop at a single weekly serving, your real risk for diabetes could actually be much higher.

Though it's well-known that people who consume a lot of sugar are more likely to develop diabetes, the researchers found that participants who drank "light" or "diet" soft drinks had a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who drank regular, sugar-filled sodas.

 Those who drank 100 percent natural squeezed fruit juices instead 
had no additional risk.

There's more and more information out there about the negative effects of diet soft drinks. Search the Web or check our OPPL databases for magazine or newspaper articles and find reliable sources...
then you can decide for yourself!

Be Informed!

Update on the new Monopoly piece...

An earlier blog posted here gave you information on how to vote one of the iconic Monopoly pieces into history.You also had the opportunity to vote for a replacement piece.

Well, here are the results...READY

Say goodbye to the old fashioned iron

Following a month-long nationwide vote from fans, Hasbro took to the Today show to announce that it will retire the iron from the game’s iconic pieces, replacing it with a cat.
Some fans were worried about the fate of beloved tokens like the pooch or the race car, neither was ever in danger of being eliminated. (The Scottie dog, in fact, was the most popular token, with 29 percent of the vote to save it.) Hasbro says the boot, iron and wheelbarrow  were always in the red zone with players.
In fact, all three tokens were virtually tied for last place until late Tuesday night, when iron haters pushed the appliance over the edge.
 In the end, just 8 percent of voters wanted to save the iron.
Fans were presented with five replacement token options, including a helicopter, a diamond ring, a robot, a guitar, and a cat.
 But this is was an Internet vote and voters can't seem to get enough of our feline friends.
