Hey Mohala, thanks for posting this, I've seen it before and remember thinking if Coke is so corrosive, how do you get Coke and a smile? :-)) Regardless, if you ever get to Altanta, go through the Coke museum. It's great!

As to water. I will be writing a water article in the future, but for now, remember that the ratio for water intake is drink HALF your BODY WEIGHT in OUNCES. If you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated!

Also, about popcorn. Yum! And a note or two. It's the outer shell and sloughed off bits from popping that get stuck and can perforate, so don't eat that! Corn gives most people gas because it becomes gluteneous in the system and is hard to break down, what doesn't break down builds up and is contracted out. Maybe the sugar coatings make it stick more :-)) Magnesium relaxes the muscles. So if you eat a lot of popcorn...

Hi Scarlet
No the article did not say if any of the tastier popcorns was ok or not. But if you click on the different colored words in the post above it will take you to more info on this subject. I thought this was interesting also, I always thought that popcorn had no health benefits at all even though it is popped corn. (Get it)

I just like to eat it because it tastes good. (lol) I like the carmel and cheese flavors too.

Ooohh that is interesting. I had no idea that popcorn had health benefits. Did the article mention whether to eat regular popcorn or would butter, caramel kinds be ok as well? I tend to prefer butter popcorn. XD

Fortify Your GI Tract with This Midnight Munchie

It's long been a favorite of midnight moviegoers, and research now shows that it could give your gastrointestinal (GI) tract the red-carpet treatment, too. It's popcorn.
An 18-year study suggests that eating a couple of servings of the stuff each week could do nice things for your colon, like reduce the risk of diverticulitis by 28 percent.
Popcorn Not a Problem?
For years, doctors have warned patients with diverticulitis to avoid popcorn, thinking that the undigestible bits could cause serious complications. This new study has many wondering if that thinking could be a little off track. But don’t make any changes to your diet without talking to your doctor first. For people who do not have diverticular disease, a couple of servings of popcorn a week could be just the ticket to avoiding the painful condition down the road. Nuts also seemed to lower diverticulitis risk in the study. (Have unexplained GI problems? Find out what might be causing them with this quiz.)
More Popcorn Pros
Some of popcorn's good GI deeds may come from the inflammation-fighting lutein in the kernels, as well as the magnesium content. And eating popcorn is a great way to bump up your fiber and whole-grain intake -- two more things your GI tract loves. So go ahead, pop away!
Find out how much popcorn you can munch for the calorie equivalent of seven or eight potato chips.
