I can't imagine having a can of pop (or more) every single day - that's the problem, not the fact that one can of pop has a lot of calories. I'd rather be a few pounds overweight than get a tumour from what I'm drinking. Grab a glass of water, juice, lemonade, iced tea...it's not like there aren't options.
As to your second point, it doesn't make sense: I have a milk intolerance, but I KNOW that I have it, and the dairy farmers don't try to disprove that some people can't digest milk products.
This is just like tobacco, and in 20 years we'll look back and realize how naive we were to trust the pimps selling their poison...mark my words.
