According to the "nutritionist" the Cowboy Cheerleaders use...

the fact that the cheerleaders believed her is funny because I watched a piece on the Dallas cheerleaders a few weeks ago and they said they are all really smart women.  They have to take a written test and get a certian score to become a cheerleader.  Now I wonder what is on that test.

Umm... I dunno about carbonation, but the sweeteners in diet soda cause brain damage and they also induce cravings so... Diet products promote weight gain, it is an universal truth. You shouldn't underestimate it.

Sorry, but there is no such "universal" truth!  There are many people who drink diet sodas and manage to maintain a healthy weight.  Many people drink diet soda instead of eating something and the diet soda therefore helps them keep their weight down!

Also, those same sweeteners -- which, if there was any real evidence that they caused "brain damage" would be prohibited -- are in all sorts of other products including MOST protein drinks... yet no one ever warns people away from protein drinks because of a fear of "brain damage".

After some quality time with Google, I found that Jenny Williams is a "fitness expert"...  a two-time Women's Tri-Fitness World  Champion among other fitness championships.  Her degree from the University of North Texas is in Sports Nutrition and Fitness.

I just saw a repeat of this show and found it ludicrous. The so called nutritionist was not so lean herself and she supposedly is practicing what she preaches. I found this very strange for her to go to the girls'  homes and critique any unhealthy foods she found. Ido believe it is all about balance, not about never eating any unhealthy food for the rest of your life. A little can stave off a major falling off the wagon that a teatotaler (foodwise) may experience. Jenny Williams needs to chill out and be real.
