7 Side effects of Sodas

Why is it so hard for people to see that moderation is the most important factor. Soda..........dairy...........what the heck ever. If you pig out on anything it can start to do harm.........anything.

Use common sense and don't be a drama queen. (this comment is not directed toward any one in particular)

Don't tell that to a vegan, paleo, primal, low carb, organic only eating person......................they'll say you're full of ****.

I was going to say, you probably think dairy is good for you, too. A bodly fluid produced by cows for their newborn offspring...yet YOU think that human adults somehow need this for their own nutrition.

I would love to debate this more, but I am tired and going to head to bed. Besides, you want to believe a sugary, artifical, lab-produced, acidic beverage isn't harmful to you, I am probably not going to change your mind.

You DON'T need milk to be healthy, but to tout that it has no benefits from consumption is false. Calcium is important and provided by milk.
And you'd lose the debate. You claim to research information, but don't use actual peer reviewed clinical science. But thanks for playing anyway.

You need to go back to google, ninerbuff. Milk has been proven over and over to actually aggravate osteoporosis. You see, milk is slightly acidic and in order to neutralize the acid, your body pulls calcium straight from your bones. That is why populations that have very low dairy consumption have much lower rates of bone fractures and osteoporosis.

But, you know, you can just keep on believing what the dairy industry tells you, if that's what you want to do.

Again - please back up your source with studies that show a causation. I have yet to see one and I keep asking people who make this claim.

I've done that so many times already. Funny, I don't see the soda and dairy advocates posting their peer-reviewed studies. Honestly, like I said before, I think if people are honestly curious about a subject and willing to have an open mind, they need to do their own research. If I posted a bunch of studies, I would imagine (and frankly, expect) people to go on and look things up even more. I just don't have the energy right now to find all these acceptable sources for you, when you could easily do it yourself. Make sense?

If you have done it so many times, surely you have all this research to hand. How about sharing so that you can try to get some credibility for all these claims you are making.

And no, it does not make sense as I have looked into studies re soda and milk and have found no such studies that show a causation effect on bone density. So, I cannot easily find them - I tend to suspect that they do not exist but would be very happy if you could show me studies proving me wrong.

Ok. No problem. Lets meet back here tomorrow, as it is 2 am where I live and I need to get to sleep. I will definitely post studies tomorrow. We must be using a different world wide Internet if you are unable to find studies showing the correlation between dairy consumption and osteoporosis. I will help you.

Everyone always has to defend the worst stuff, for whatever reason. Soda is digusting sweet chemicals, that is all it is. If people want to try to compare it to plain water...well, let them. Anyone with a brain can reason that soda is not, CAN not, and never will be good for you. Look at the list of ingredients and try to say all that isn't doing something negative to your body.

Like what?

You can't be serious.

This by a person who believes DAIRY has no benefits for the body.

once I saw my uncle use Coke to clean the battery acid off of a car battery. It changed my thoughts about soda for a long time. Then I started drinking Pepsi. It's my pick me up I can't stand the smell of coffee and the caffeine is what gets me going. I'm trying to drop down to soda just on the weekends so I started drinking Green tea with ginseng kinda gives off the same effects of soda. Wakes me up and keeps me alert.

Well, human breast milk is not yet produced on a commercial scale, so . . .

Fruit is also acidic and sugary.

A lot of healthy stuff is artificial and lab-produced. Medications, for example. Dietary supplements. Not to mention that all of this stuff is tested to make sure that it is safe for human consumption.

Oh....YEAH!! Medications are SO healthy for you. Um, have you ever looked at the list of side effects?? Usually it takes up an entire page in a magazine, small print. And how many things have passed FDA inspection only to be revealed later how incredibly dangerous and harmful they actually are? Seriously, where are you people saying these things coming from??

Key bit for me is the rots teeth, last year I had 2 removed, 3 fillings and 1 root canal ...
my dentist asked if i knew why ...
I said not looking after my teeth well enough
"no not at all, it will be poor diet, too many sweets and fizzy drinks"
So now I've given them up, I never want to be in that much pain ever again!

Location.... England.

Almost everything we eat is slightly acidic. Sometimes very acidic. Milk has a pH of 6.7, which is almost neutral! Foods that are more acidic than milk include fish, beans, and cabbage, not to mention probably every single fruit in existence. The claim that milk contributes to osteoporosis because it is slightly acidic is patently ridiculous.

For anyone who wants to know the pH of different foods: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/food-ph-d_403.html

Thank you so much...I look forward to seeing peer reviewed studies showing a causation of dairy consumption on osteoporosis. I have a few studies myself waiting...they do not show that however
