I don't have any of that stuff on the list. I drink coffee about 3 times a year and it's not decaff... I have orangeade and coke in the house, but probably one glass every other week.. ..I eat French fries, probably twice a year... and then only a few... I only buy butter or top quality butter alternative.. no protein powders, and definitely no Cannabis infused foods...

Although it says to layoff of things like decaf and sodas, it doesn't connect to any research articles or data to substantiate their views. That means we, the readers, need to do our own homework. Also, how do we know how much is bad for us? I drink one cup of decaf daily because I like it, and cannot drink coffee (keeps me up at night). I don't drink sodas. I used to eat ff but my low carb diet these past 7 months have kept me from touching any. So it is all relative. Like someone earlier said,
everything in moderation. Also, our bodies are different, with different genes and metabolisms. What might work for someone might not work for someone else.
 
I recently got a box of decaf Keurig pods. The regular coffee for the Keurig machines doesn't taste wonderful, but at least it does taste like coffee sort of. If you're not too fussy. The decaf stuff tasted like poison. It had a horrible chemical aftertaste. After that one cup, I threw out the rest of the pods.

I am not a tea lover, but I'd rather drink tea any time than that horrible stuff.

I did a short search for more info but couldn't find anything of interest to report.
I drink coffee for the caffein effect and there is no way I am going to stop eating french fries. At this stage in my life I really don't care and tend to eat whatever takes my fancy at the time. The old brain is set in its ways by now😉

I'm very particular about my cup o' coffee, I buy my K-pods on Amazon... my choices are: Green Mountain Dark Magic and Copper Moon Dark Roast, Sumatra Blend.
I also use Don Francisco's Espresso in my reusable K-cups.

I've always been "anti" decaf, but I did buy some decaf espresso(imagine that!) that isn't too bad, for when I get a craving for a cup in the evening.

Have you ever wondered why decaf coffee tastes lousy? There's a very good reason.

"Methylene Chloride is an active ingredient in paint stripper that was recently banned by the EPA. The FDA currently allows methylene chloride to be used in some coffee decaffeination processes and brands are not required to disclose the decaffeination process on their label.

There is an alternative water-based process that doesn’t require chemicals, but many major brands continue to use the chemical process anyway.

What is troubling is that many vulnerable populations like pregnant women, the elderly, and people with heart disease are regular decaf consumers.

Consumers deserve to know how their decaf is made and if they are getting chemicals in their coffee.

Clean Label Project investigated to see if methylene chloride was showing up in the decaf coffee products that people purchase."

Check out the rest of the article for a list of solvent-free, chemical-free, Swiss-water, or certified organic labeled decaf coffee. > https://cleanlabelproject.org/are-there-chemicals-in-your-decaffeinated-coffee/

Thank you so much, @Bella!
 
The article said "sugar causes brain inflammation."
What's wrong with that? A bigger brain is why I'm so damn smart.
 
The problem with fries/chips is the fat they are cooked in. After being heated to a high temperature, it becomes toxic and the toxins increase each time the fat is used. I make chips/fries with olive oil, which is much healthier.
 
We can be programmed for unhealthy eating. My parents were hardly models of a healthy diet. If it tasted good, they ate or drank it. I was served soda with lunch and dinner rather than water, and my parents loved their beer. My mother was a terrible cook and a lazy one as well, and junk foods were scarfed down at night to compensate for a lousy dinner. Salads were never seen in my household growing up. I had no dietary choices then; it was either take it, or leave it. “Think of all those poor starving children in China and Africa,” my mother would say.

Eating healthier is a choice that for me largely began when I left home for college, and had healthier alternatIves available in the school cafeteria. I‘m far from being a dietary purist, but simply limit indulgences in foods that I know to be unhealthy...
