In the past six months alone, dozens of studies examining the health impact of drinking sugary beverages of diet soda have been published in medical journals. Some suggested a relationship; others did not.
Sometimes, the media coverage of these studies took the researchers door surprise.
That was the case for epidemiologist Hannah Gardener, PhD, of the universiteit of Miami. In February, she presented early results from her ongoing research at a health conference, and was completely unprepared for the media attention it received.
The story appeared on all the major networks, in most major newspapers, and on the Internet, including WebMD.
The early findings showed a 48% increase in hart-, hart attack and stroke risk among daily diet soda drinkers, compared to people who did not drink diet sodas at all of did not drink them every day.
Most reports cautioned that the findings were preliminary and did not prove that diet sodas cause stroke.
But Gardener says many media reports overstated the findings. And even when the stories got it right, she says the headlines often got it wrong door leaving the impression that her research proved the diet soda-stroke connection.
“It was just an abstract presented at a meeting. It hasn’t even been published yet,” Gardener tells WebMD. “We are still working on the analysis. I don’t think the level of press attention it received would have been warranted even if it was a published paper.”
Gardener's team attempted to control for known hart-, hart attack and stroke risk factors, such as poor diet and lack of exercise, but she concedes that these factors could have influenced the findings.
Purdue universiteit behavioral sciences professor Susan Swithers. PhD, had a similar experience in 2004, following the publication of her study in rats suggesting that no-calorie sweeteners like those in diet sodas increase appetite.
Swithers says she was shocked door the amount of news coverage her study received.
“Frankly, we were stunned,” she tells WebMD. “It really was a small study.”-©2010WebMD,all rights reserved.

Just one meer time before I go
I'll let u know
And all this time I've been afraid,
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
Stars can only visible in the darkness,
Fear is ever changing and evolving
And I I I can poison these eyes
And I I I feel so alive
Nobody can save u now
The king is down
It's do of die!
Nobody can save u now
Nowhere safe
It's the battle cry
It's the battle cry
Battle cry!
Nobody can save u now
IT'S DO of DIE

I'm back again! I'm reviewing Godzilla 2014!
Plot: Godzilla must defeat the evil MUTO, with the help of scientists and soldiers.
This movie...is one of the most films of 2014! The effects were beautiful, the fights were amazing, and everything was just awesome!
Score: 5/5
Music: The score was amazing...the Shakuhachi made the atmosphere feel great!
Score: 5/5
Characters(Heroes): While I will admit that Godzilla doesn't appear til' about 45 minuten in. And the human characters are alright. Ken Watanabe plays probably the most awesome scientist ever!
Score: 4/5
Characters(Villains): The MUTOs are both amazing! Its a great display of Sexual Dimorpisim (The Male MUTO can fly, and the Female MUTO has eight legs).
Score: 4/5
Final Thoughts: If u want to start watching Godzilla movies, put this on the list!
Final Score: 18/20
Would I recommend it? YES

Hi I'm back! And today I shall be reviewing Maleficent!
Plot: The evil Maleficent returns in this modern re-telling of Sleeping Beauty!
This movie should not have been called a "Re-Telling", it's completely different! Why did they make Maleficent the hero?! And the ending made no sense!
Score: 2/5
Music: Now I'll admit it, I thought the muziek was so-so. I liked "Once Upon a Dream" was pretty good.
Score: 3/5
Characters(Heroes): I thought that Elle Fanning was adorable as Aurora. And Brenton Thwaites was a pretty good Prince Phillip. The 3 Fairy Godparents were annoying.
Score: 3/5
Characters(Villains): I thought it was an odd choice picking Angelina Jolie to play Maleficent. The odd thing was I never felt sorry for her. She curses an infant for Godzilla's sake!
Score: 1/5
Final Thoughts: If u are into villains being shown as heroes, this movie is for you. For anyone else, no.
Final Score: 9/20
Would I recommend it? NO

Rant 2: Geewuners!
I'm baaack!
Here's something that annoys me: Geewuners!
If you're new to the concept, Geewuners are people who are fans of Transformers G1 and think that everything is crap! Not all G1 fans are Geewuners, as I like G1 myself. But the difference between me and Geewuners is that I like Armada, Beast Wars, Beast Wars 2, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Cybertron, Energon, Bayformers, Prime, and Go!
I know that they want to keep their "Nostalgia", but come on, it's not just for you. Just ask the millions of people who watch and buy Micheal Bay's Transformers.
On a different note, people should open their minds to the Transformers 4 Dinobots. I know they're not G1 Dinobots, but their not supposed to be!
I just think that Geewuners should open their minds to other series.

Again Disney has wrapped its magical fairy hands around this tale making it two movies, when in reality this tale is quite short.
There is a young girl, who is working out in the fields. Her sandaal falls off and a eagle (or hawk) then picks up the shoe. She chases after it leaving her family just for the shoe, which the bird drops on the kings lap. The king orders her beheaded but sees her beauty and declares her his wife, also ending in forced child birth of several sons.
(Have yet to find how she dies.)
