We folk who are peddling a healthy lifestyle love to hate ... high fructose corn syrup, McDonald's (all fast food), processed food, soda, and more. However, before you buy into any type of claim, please use critical thinking.

Exhibit A:  The scientists behind the blog Obesity Panacea were startled and astonished by this soda ad. One problem: It's a fake.

Living a healthy lifestyle can and should be easy. But before you "buy" into anything, use your critical thinking skills.

As an aside, I laughed when I read this "ad". Read the fine print: It's very comical.
