dropping soda was pretty easy

diet soda isn't really all that better for you

how so

diet soda is like

a carcinogen

totally not any better for you

and soda in general is just the most pointless **** ever. there are almost infinite varieties of juices and teas that are so much better tasting than any soda and don't have assloads of sugar or corn syrup

Basically it's just different unhealthy [B]s[/B]hit to disguise it as being healthy.

Also yah juice and tea are where it's at, healthy sugar.

aspartame is horrible for yo

that article is horrible

[QUOTE]“How can something with zero calories that’s 99 percent water with a little flavoring in it ... cause weight gain?” she said.

Without a more definitive explanation, Vasan offers only this advice to diet soda drinkers: “consume in moderation and stayed tuned for more research.”

so dumb

I eat reckless amounts of aspartame as the result of an instant juice fixation.

i drink soda no need to stop

i drink like 2L of soda a day and im 140

i only drink soda at work.

im a sprite kinda guy

[QUOTE=TimJim;17833577]i drink like 2L of soda a day and im 140[/QUOTE]

doesn't mean it's not really bad for you

weight gain isn't the only health risk that comes from shitloads of sugar and corn syrup

I bought those bottled chocolate 'milkshakes' on a daily basis last semester at school

:(

[QUOTE=adb;17833574]that article is horrible



so dumb[/QUOTE]


There is a ton of research that says diet isn't any better for than you that isn't just limited to that one article do you think they're lying or.....?

well yeah but i figure sputnik doesnt wanna wait a long time to dance on my grave

dont you smoke cigarettes

and have a prescription drug addiction

but soda is on your list of unhealthy things

lol

Me or TimJim?

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;17833584]dont you smoke cigarettes

and have a prescription drug addiction

but soda is on your list of unhealthy things

lol[/QUOTE]

yeah but

there are so many better tasting drinks than soda

if they made healthy cigarettes would i smoke em? probably not. if they made healthy cigarettes that tasted way better than normal ones would i smoke em? hell yeah.

such is the logic behind drinking juice

[QUOTE]there are so many better tasting drinks than soda[/QUOTE]

wow people enjoy something that you dont omg

[quote=angmar;17833587]me or timjim?[/quote]
123

also, i challenge you to find conclusive evidence that prescription painkillers are actually worse for your health in the long run than soda

[QUOTE=Angmar;17833582]There is a ton of research that says diet isn't any better for than you that isn't just limited to that one article do you think they're lying or.....?[/QUOTE]

there is zero concrete evidence that diet soda is a carcinogen, I've read articles and it's just silly to blame any one food or beverage on increasing the chances of cancer unless its like the only thing you consume

[quote=Moon Flavor;17833592]also, i challenge you to find conclusive evidence that prescription painkillers are actually worse for your health in the long run than soda[/quote]
physical and mental addictions should be like obvious since you dont need ****ing METHADONE or SUBOXONE to stop drinking soda

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;17833590]wow people enjoy something that you dont omg[/QUOTE]

nigga i'm sayin you gotta branch out. have you ever actually given apple juice a fair chance? have you given iced green tea a fair chance?

soda people never do, they just grow up and die with their precious soda

[QUOTE=TimJim;17833595]physical and mental addictions should be like obvious since you dont need ****ing METHADONE or SUBOXONE to stop drinking soda[/QUOTE]

i'm talking strictly physiologically

also, mad people are addicted to soda

[quote=Moon Flavor;17833597]i'm talking strictly physiologically[/quote]
again METHADONE and SUBOXONE

Soda is probably way better for you than something like apple juice or grape juice

Apple juice is boring (cider rules though) I'm all about stuff like cran-raspberry juice and grape juice and those kind of things.

Tea is a must as well.

also lol Jaundice

[quote=Jaundice;17833599]Soda is probably way better for you than something like apple juice or grape juice[/quote]
there are no vitamins in soda son

[QUOTE=TimJim;17833598]again METHADONE and SUBOXONE[/QUOTE]

you're totally missing my point

let's assume i have all the money in the world. my addiction is no longer an issue.

now in terms of which is actually worse for your vital organs and body functions, what is it...soda or painkillers? nobody knows they're probably about equal maybe soda is a little worse i'd guess

Juice isn't some miracle worker anyway, it's just as bad for teeth as most sodas are. And idk, I'm pretty ****ing healthy and never drink anything other than soda or water.

painkillers tend to increase your liver enzymes thereby making your liver work too hard and then have to filter the analgesic out of your system ON TOP OF THAT, while your kidneys and your bloodsugar take a little bit of flack filtering out the junk/ taking the energy to where it needs to go

so you tell me

So brush them.

You're not going to get fat by drinking lots of juice it's part of your diet that you need soda is not.

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;17833604]Juice isn't some miracle worker anyway, it's just as bad for teeth as most sodas are.[/QUOTE]

well

teeth

brush your ****in teeth got damn

your body man

[I]your body[/I]

most juices have the same amount of sugar as soda per serving

Yeah but it's naturally occurring healthy sugar that your body needs.

the body doesn't need sugar

[quote=Moon Flavor;17833618]well idk hundreds of thousands of people die from being obesed pricks...[/quote]
