I heard somewhere that citric acid helps burn fat or somethin... and I also heard that drinkin ginger ale will help cuz it has citric acid... but so do almost ALL soft drinks... is there a reason to drink ginger ale at all?

i think where that citric acid thing is coming from is the negative calorie diet and all citric fruit burns more calories digesting then the amount of calories in them. however, this will not happen with ginger ale. the amount of useless calories and sodium in gingerale will not be used up in just its digesting...
