my dentist told me that pop also softens your enamel for up to 45 minutes after you've drank, so important NOT to brush as you will be more prone to damaging your teeth.
Personally a sip of pop, especially Coke, makes my eyes water up like crazy and it feel like bubbles are in my nose. I am not a huge fan of that, so I have pop on an extreme rare basis (maybe one every couple months at best)0 -

There are lots of foods and drinks that will do this. It's good advice in general to not brush your teeth within half an hour of eating.

on this topic... I've been having a lot of teeth issues lately, and my dentist said that they're seeing a trend with fit people having this problem... because every time you eat / drink, your enamel softens. As part of the fitness "trend" many people are snacking all day - so enamel is weaker throughout the day. And particularly, fruits are really bad for this because of the natural sugars.
So while many small healthy snacks can work great for managing your waistline... it can be a bugger on your teeth. Go figure.

Do you have a info showing this is BS?

First, I feel betrayed that my liver even HAS HANDS!!!
Second, while exaggerated, the chart is mostly legit. I hate when MFP'ers tend to over simplify things. While weight loss can mostly work with CICO, our bodies are much more complicated and our overall health depends on much more than how many calories we are eating.
Third, I love Coke and Dr. Pepper but, like anything else, moderation is key.

After interns were hired, the level of science, particularly concerning dietary matters, decreased for IFLS. But, the infographic is misleading and the article is actually saying that the infographic is full of it due to lack of numbers and specifics.
It's ok. I made the same mistake based on many of their recent nutrition posts and it does end with some fearmongerining of its own.0 -
"moderation is key"
^^ THIS ^^
Simple and profound. A can of pop may not be the BEST thing for your body... but it's not going to kill you. Five cans a day is likely bound to bugger up your insides.
Just like I love going to the amusement park... once or twice a year. If I went daily... I'm sure my insides would be a mess and I'd be walking around with a perma-concussion. (Hell, by the end of the evening I feel like I have a concussion).0 -

Oh trust me... I'm not advocating this graphic as fact. Or even science. But there is enough there to give some pause... and possibly trigger further research and discussion.
Not to mention popcorn.0 -

Agree with this completely. Also, a CAN of pop/soda is moderation. Not the gigantic bottles that have 2 - 3 servings per container that have now become the norm.0 -
If you have a corroded car battery, pour some coke on it. Cleans it right up!0

Would the FDA even permit the selling of Coke if half of the 'facts' were factual?0

coke + rum = good
coke + tequila = better
Coke + vanilla vodka = best
Cherry Coke + Vanilla Vodka = bettererer

If I drank either, that would sound so good!Pure orange juice will do this too, and much better. It's about the acid.
I tried the coke thing yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago but I'm not sure I'd do it again. Because then you have to worry about cleaning it up.
