I notice that Jan is once again engaged in flagrant violation of

Well, if they're getting their calories from pop instead of food,
I'd be amazed if they didn't have degraded health. Nothing new
there.
Add the caffeine load from that much soda and you're looking at
some potentially severe sleep disturbances as well. Considering
how important the sleep cycle is in the teens, that could get
quite ugly.
Jan apparently missed the last sentence in the above paragraph.

Apparently, Lien's team has their own definition of "linear relationship."
From the preceding paragraph, the symptoms *decrease* with small amounts
of soda, increasing only with *large* amounts.

Adams appears to be in so much of a rush to grind his own ax that he
didn't bother to find out if Norwegian soda *has* corn syrup. It
doesn't. Since Europe doesn't have the USA's sugar price supports,
they use sugar instead. Coca-Cola in Europe is the Real Thing.
I've been traveling to Europe on business for the last six years,
and clean forgot to take advantage of that detail until my last
trip. Obviously, I'm _not_ one of the soda-addicted.

Massive amounts of caffeine and sugar are a wonderful way to screw
up your health in general.

I think it's interesting that everyone is ignoring this part:
