I'm continually amazed when people make obviously horrible assumptions:

- "Weed is good because it's 'natural'" "Yeah, but so are ricin, hemlock and nightshade."

- "Juice is made from fruit, fruit is good, therefore juice must be good." "Although it's not HFCS, juice has more carbs than soda."

I'm also disgusted by the "it's natural" platitude some persons spout.

But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to drink the latest clinically unproven science experiment like, for example, Coke Zero. Nobody has a clue what those small molecules actually do besides the obvious.
