As to liquid, my rule to is drink no liquid that is not at least a thousand years old – so its fitness has been tested. I drink just wine, water, and coffee. No soft drinks. Perhaps the most possibly deceitfully noxious drink is the orange juice we make poor innocent people imbibe at the breakfast table while, thanks to marketing, we convince them it is “healthy”. (Aside from the point that the citrus our ancestors ingested was not sweet, they never ingested carbohydrates without large, very large quantities of fiber. Eating an orange or an apple is not biologically equivalent to drinking orange or apple juice.) from such examples, I derived the rule that what is called “healthy’ is generally unhealthy, just as “social” networks are antisocial, and the “knowledge” – based economy is typically ignorant. ~ Page 362 [Excerpt from Antifragile by Nassim Taleb]
