sodas

[phish]

I know it's everyones fav soft drink right. well a coke has 40 grams of sugar in it thats a lot. Well many of you say I will have a diet well aspartame ain't so great ether in many places sweeden for one it is illegal. And is a weak neurotoxin. In fact aspartame is worse for you then sugar by a long shot. So you want to stop drinking sodas it is tuff they are addictive here are some tips. When you go out to eat most people order a soda when they ask what you want to drink push yourself to order a water and just talk don't think about it. Any time you want one do something you like. Have a bowl of ice cream that is much better for you then a soda and you will forget about it in no time. Don't do things like watch tv you will sit there thinking about it. Many of you are laughing about this right as you are reading it but they are causing a diabetes epidemic in the united states.

PM me if you need help alot of people say it is harder then stopping smoking.

Aspratame gives me a really bad headache, and unforutnatly it's in most gum too.

But, is there a point to this thread?

I hate coke. Ick. Worst soda ever.

Not everybody is addicted to coke. In fact, really not as many as you may think. I know being addicted to sodas is actually relatively rare in my town... so yea...

I don't really have a problem with it as it IS their body, and it doesn't harm anyone else, like cigarettes or drugs do.

Lol f*****g coca cola company!

Well in the US they are a damn epidemic you see half of the kids are 300 pounds. They are really bad for your health.

I drink iced tea, screw soft drinks

Yeah. Every time I eat out, I ask for a lemonade. Or if they don't have it. I use my water with lemon preference.

Thats better but lemonade is PACKED with sugar.

Eh I've heard diet is worse than regular.
But it all depends on how you define your own worse.
If you had diabetes and were 50+ lbs overweight, I think diet sodas would be better.
If you had one or two a day, and you were fit and healthy, regular would be better (probably).

Shattered is right. I don't drink soda pop often. But it's out of preference. And by the way, don't be dissin' my lemonade. :)

It's to damn sour.

Drinking soda is a habit, it's a choice. it's not a necessity, nor is it 'addictive'. Just b/c you want to do something doesn't mean you really have to.

Try club soda/seltzer, they're flavored, they fizz, they're cold, they taste good, and they're completely safe and natural. And with a little time to get used to them, might hit the spot.

I prefer diet coke, I think it tastes so much better than ordinary coke.

But I always use artificial sweetner in tea and coffee, which contains aspartame.

Apparently aspartame carries a lot of health risks, well then, I'm screwed :eek:.

[Aηdy]

I can't drink full fat coke, it's way too sweet. I don't drink as much coke as I used to though.

[AutumnDae]

I don't drink all that much soda, but I can't stand diet sodas. I can taste the aspartame in them. Nasty!

[Bougainvillea]

Diet soda is pretty flippin' nasty. And lemonade is not too sour. It sure does taste a hell of a lot better than coke. And not as corrosive. :)

[Stevo 69]

I don't know if it is true but Coke Zero is supposed to have hardly any sugar.

I think it tastes so much better than regular and diet, also it says per bottle it has 1% of your GDA of sugar.

Did you know that if you put a nail in coke it will completely dissolve within a week? Gross. :P

Mm yeah, my teacher worked at McDonald's once, and there was the coke syrup thingy... And it dripped.
After a while of dripping on to the metal table, there was a hole in it. Lol.

[Perseus]

Oh wow thats pretty strong acid they put in Coke. Is that why it wears down enamel?

[phish]

It is a myth that sodas do that they are alkaline.
