Pepsi tastes like crap. At least drink Coke. I just had heavy cream in my coffee though, so I am sure to die from well, you know, fats and bad stuff.0

I understand why the question is there - there's an assumption that all fat is bad. That comes from miseducation but it's something we've all been guilty of.
Sugar is the culprit and reason for rising obesity levels.
Now, anyone for a glass of wholesome high fructose corn syrup? Comes from plants so should count as one of your five a day.
*highfives Tigersword*
Seriously, please don't condemn a particular food group. The obesity epidemic is due to failing to eat a moderate, balanced diet while becoming increasingly inactive as a society.
Sugar (HFCS) consumption is on the increase.
Children are moving just as much as they were 50 years ago.
You provide no sources. So I don't either. :bigsmile:0 -
the presense of fat does not determine how healthy something is.
would a bag of fat-free sweets be healthier than an avocado?
no.
This!
There is room in your diet for both Im sure. You can't do a direct comparison on coke and milk its mad0 -

Go on a pure milk diet for a month, then go on a pure pepsi diet for a month, and tell us which one made you feel healthier.
... if you're still alive after the pepsi month.
A diet of just one single thing for an entire month is probably not a good idea
Except pizza.
New diet born. Swoon.
That's kinda what milk was designed to do though. To be the sole source of subsistence for several months.0 -

The hell you say! Have you heard of "No Child Left Behind"? Time spent for reccess and physical education was drastically cut. And on top of that, video games!!!
I believe my point has been made.0 -
Fat does't make you fat. Dietary fat is a nutrient your body needs. So are protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Milk has all of these, Pepsi does not. Pepsi is pure sugar. Yes, milk has some sugar also, but if you are determining the health benefits of food or drinks solely by fat content you may want to do some research or talk to your doctor about why that is not a good idea.0

Only if you drink it with ice and a straw to help balance out the toxins. Consuming too much milk makes you bulky, so pepsi is def better.0

yeah. pepsi's healthier. coke even healthier still.0

Sugar and soda will not make you an obese child if you are active. I grew up on skittles, tiny tarts, sweet tarts, and big league chew consumed daily. I was also on the football and track team, and rode bmx at least 5 miles daily. However if you sit on your *kitten* all day playing video games and never go outside to burn off calories you will become obese on that diet. And I prefer Coke over Pepsi.0

Can't remember the BBC documentary. Might be The Men Who Made Us Thin. It mentions what I suggest.
Anyway, what about HFCS? Is it not an issue?
Google "lustig sugar" and see what articles come up.0 -
Both are rank.
Water is the way to go.
(closely followed by wine of course!)
Reverse that.. and i'll agree.. wine then water.. oh and coffee.. can't forget coffee..

i'd argue that no one particular food item is intrinsically unhealthy.
food is really only healthy or unhealthy when looked at in the context of an overal diet.
If your diet already consists of a lot of carbs, pepsi would be the more unhelathy choice.
if your diet already consists of a lot of fats, milk would esstenailly less healthy.
thats purely based on nutritional value alone and ignoring things like food additvies.0 -

Lustig is a blasphemous liar!
But go ahead and blame sugar. I've lost 90+ lbs and have it daily... and yes, HCFS-type of sugar too!0 -
The stupidity in this thread is overwhelming my brain.0

Well I don't buy into that. No sense in debating... I don't have the energy to go look up a bunch of studies. I just, in general, do not believe in the demonization of food. I am fat because of my own choices, not because of some secret conspiracy by some industry or another. I'm a business student, and therefore, a capitalist. If people didn't eat the food, then companies wouldn't produce it.
But I appreciate that you are being open-minded about it.0 -

Fair enough. Funnily, on other forums, I'm shouted at for saying you can eat anything and lose weight. :laugh:0 -
They're both bad because chemicals.0

I wish the world was chemical free.0 -
WTH? I hope you are kidding.
OP said no questions.
I think WTH was more of an exclamation with an inappropriately placed question mark- and "I hope you are kidding." is clearly a statement not a question.
Nothing to see here... nothing to see.
And I'm seriously not adding pepsi to my coffee in the morning- come on now- lets' be real.0 -
They're both bad because chemicals.
I buy organic bio-dynamic unhomoginised local milk... no chemicals in my milk.0 -

Interesting study on the effects of a high calcium diet on fat excretion ... the doco is on YouTube, quite interesting.
