This AOL infographic is interesting, but misleading. Of course, plain black coffee is wicked healthy for you, as is Green, Black, and Oolong tea. <\/span>

<\/span>But soda? With its phosphoric acid that can contribute to brittle bones? They list this as “even better”. Weird. I’m guessing that this should NOT be on any list that that has the word Healthy in it, unless it is immediately preceded by the word NOT.<\/span>

<\/span>Follow @willclower<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The energy drinks at the bottom are also not recommended, making me wonder just who put this list together. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Finally, a note about the caffeine content in chocolate. This is a persistent confusion between caffeine itself and theobromine, which is a very similar alkaloid. The pharmacological effects of theobromine are about 100x weaker by comparison (see http:\/\/1.usa.gov\/12NU0KT<\/span>). <\/span><\/div>\n
