SE 5: Observations

I was surprised to find a lot of information that connected with my essay in my classmates research. In Quinn's paper "Soda the Healthy Choice?" he reported that people consume less milk which is probably due to the increase of soda intake. Similarly the study I found reported people who had cereal breakfasts tended to have more milk and therefore calcium than non-cereal breakfasters who had a higher percentage of soda intake. Aaron's essay about the benefits of eggs also connected to my paper. He found that the main benefit of eggs is the amount of protein contained in them. This also came up in the study I analyzed. Something I found interesting was in Sarah's essay on dried fruit. I never realized dried fruit wasn't healthy. Like she said, with all the healthy hype surrounding the product you would never expect it, but dried fruit actually has as much sugar and added chemicals as candy.
