Hint: coke vs Coke.
Deviated septum? I have that...but most people have it. Very common...something that usually happens from birth. Never heard of coke causing that though...I know someone who had a deviated septum due to coke.
I can see the coke rotting a persons teeth...mainly because of all the sugar. Too much sugar has that effect... And I think in one can of coke a lone there are like 12 tbsp of suger...yikes!0 -
Every day tbh
No reason not to, unless you like believing all the scaremonger stuff out there.
It is not scare mongering stuff. These chemicals, preservatives and crap are obviously not good for the body. Too bad people don't care enough about themselves or their loved ones to stay away from this crap.
Not everything we eat HAS to be GOOD for us. Pretty much anything in moderation our bodies can cope with. The issues start when we overdo the non-good stuff. If i only ate things there were GOOD for me, id probably have died of starvation by now, or certainly fallen off this wagon and regained the weight. And i think that would be rather unhealthy, no?Researchers asked participants to drink either regular soda, milk containing the same amount of calories as regular soda, diet cola, or water every day for six months.
And they didn't say anything else about what to stick to in the diet? Talk about flawed...
I suppose if you not concerned for you health and your future, then what you are saying is true. The human body is not designed to handle chemicals, excess sugar and other toxins. It is stored in the fat cells and eventually will try to be metabolized unless tumor growth happens first.
I don't eat for pleasure any longer. I eat for the fuel that it provides me and that is it. I do savor and enjoy the food I do eat, but non of it is or will ever be again junk food of any kind.
Neither milk nor soda are good for us. I don't consume either. Raw dairy in small amounts in the form of grass fed butter or cream is all I will consume.0 -
Water is a flame retardant too, isn't it?
I tire of these soda-vilifying threads.
If people look hard enough, they will find something bad with everything people eat or drink
And you know what? We're all going to die of something! Life causes death!0 -

...Really refraining from not going into a lecture full of rage and profanity on why everyone who shouts "GIVE UP COKE! ITS BAD! IT CAUSES THIS AND THIS AND THAT AND THIS" are complete idiots.
Seriously. Just..just...how does drinking coke mean you don't love you family?

Think what you want. I know people that truly care for their family and themselves will have their family eat, drink and care for themselves in the most healthful manner possible.
I feel so sad for so many people on this website that don't even care what is in the food they eat, the evil corporations they are supporting and you all are only making them richer while you will eventually degrade your bodies.

Whoa. Lack of knowledge/awareness or even difference of opinion DOES NOT mean people care less about themselves or their loved ones than non-soda drinkers. Come on, now.
If you cared, wouldn't you educate yourself?
I put this in the same boat as people that are too lazy to make sure their kids eat healthy whether at home or at school.
Lack of understanding and education is downright lazy. Being lazy shows signs of a lack of caring.0 -

in all fairness my sister lost her front teeth due to coke, you seen what it does to a coin and we use it to clean the loo, better than any bleach
or maybe she had dental issues? My mom drinks like 5 cans of diet coke a day and she has perfect teeth. She brushes them.0 -

Yeah. I hate my family so I'm giving them processed foods to kill them in the slowest way possible. I want them to suffer for about 75 years before the hammer drops.0 -

I respect everyone has a right to do eat/drink what they want for themselves. I don't force my opinion on others, they can do what they want. I don't care.
But for me, I gave up sodas years ago as I personally think they are unnecessary as they do not provide any positive nutritional value.
Now I will only have the occasional gingerale if I'm really sick. But I recognize that's an ingrained comfort item from childhood more than having any health benefit.
I used to love Diet Coke and would drink 1 every day. I used to think that was good when I looked around me and saw so many people drinking 5 or more a day. But at the request of my naturalpath, I cut it out as well. I know have maybe 3 a year tops. And I don't miss it very often.
I mostly drink water and decaf herbal tea. Its what I like, and I don't feel deprived. Its what's working for me.0 -
I would LOVE to drink a little Coke everyday but I just can't. Instead I just wait for my treat day and enjoy it then. Diet does not seem to agree with me and I just don't see the weight loss.0

"and will have their family eat, drink and care for themselves in the most healthful manner possible." Wow, talk about a dictator! How about educating them to actually ENJOY their food and drink in moderation? I'm sure they would prefer that over having everything they do/eat/drink dictated to them!
You almost sound like those people feeling sad for those of us that dont believe in God! :O0 -

Please do not feel bad afor me because I DO care, but in all honesty shopping organically at a grocery store is WAY too expensive, farmers markets here only last until about November (If we are lucky) and growing my own food can only take place during the summer and I do not have time to do canning and *kitten*... so I shop where economically fesible which means no orgaincally grown foods... and OMG chemically abused animals... and even better sometimes it is MECHANICALLY SEPERATED because I do not have time to cook so I eat FROZEN meals... and you know what?? I am 100% healthy - other than my weight my blood tests are perfect...
So think what you will about me but do not feel sorry for me.0 -
Thanks OP for the hot topic!! Reading this thread was entirely entertaining!0
