I've gone from sugar sodas to diet sodas, back to sugar, and about four decades ago, essentially NO soft drinks of any kind.

Dare I point out I am the healthiest person I know? I never get sick. Last cold was over a decade ago, last influenza (and brace yourself here) was in something like 1974. Maybe 1975.

And I absolutely mean it that I haven't had flu in well over 40 years.

Were everyone as healthy as I am, some 90% of doctors would have no patients. OBGYNs would still have work to do, but most medical personnel, not so much.
