    I've read the article and have a question!

    What happens if I drink a coke post exercise while glycogen depleted?

    This is a trick question BTW, I know the answer.

    The amount of pseudoscience and scaremongering on that site:

    I especially like the video at the bottom.
    Because it has nothing to do with the fact it's cola. You could do the same thing with plain fizzy water. Because it's the acids that attack the calcium of the egg shell. Put an egg in a cup of vinegar and the same thing happens overnight instead of one year.

    Okay slightly more serious answer

    there's a huge amount of pseudoscience and scaremongering making people afraid to eat foods that are actually not harmful to them, and won't make them fat either, provided they're consumed with adequate portion control and as part of a healthy, balanced diet.

    There's no need to be afraid of coke. Just be aware of how many calories there are in it, log them accurately, stay within your calorie goal and make sure you're getting all the nutrition you need. If you're that worried about sugar spikes, then consume it as part of a meal as the presence of other food in the meal slows down the rate at which sugar gets into the blood.

    People with genuine medical issues regarding sugar, e.g. diabetes, should follow their doctor's advice about how much and what kinds of sugars to eat.

    Thanks mate. Yeah that article only even comes close to what happens if you get out of bed, to the kitchen and chug half a liter of coke first thing in the morning and don't eat anything for a few hours.

    My brother said to me the other day, "I can't believe you still drink diet pepsi." In that judgemental tone of voice that said he knew all. Ya know what bro, you take care of your fatty liver problem (which he is doing, and he's developing that annoying 'clean foods only!' persona), and I'll drink my one diet pepsi a day. I didn't bother trying to be rational with him, he needs to learn it himself.

    I think what he's doing is projecting his own health issues on me. Fatty liver is scary and painful, I get that, but I don't have that problem, so don't need to eat as restricted as he does. Its not jealousy, he's not the jealous type, he just thinks that he now knows more than me...

    So disappointed...

    I thought maybe this post might contain some really valuable information. Like eat at a moderate caloric deficit and get out and move a little bit and pick up some heavy stuff on occasion.

    ETA: But instead I got "COKE IS THE DEVIL".

    Read the list. I was very distracted by all the ads circling the page about the 23 foods that can kill body fat, how having an acidic body can cause your belly fat, and the 4 hormone killing foods to never eat (BEWARE!)

    Okay. Rant read, digested, and eliminated.

    45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production, stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

    This was my favorite. "Yeah, let's compare dopamine release to heroin, to illustrate how dangerous it is!"

    Of course your brain also releases dopamine any time you have a good workout, eat something tasty, have sex, etc. But they went right for heroin...wonder why?
    The author has obviously also given up tasty food and sex 'cause heroin...

    This is an insult to bros.

    Seriously, OP, even if Coke is not the best thing in the world for you, taking an argument to an absurd extreme generally makes people want to dismiss the argument entirely.

    After this crazy stomach virus, Coke is probably the reason why I'm no longer puking up gallons. I don't drink it much anymore, but Coke will always hold a special place in my heart! <333

    Some pharmacies still carry coke syrup behind the counter. Although it is far less effective as a "cureall" now that there is no cocaine in it...

    I was a bit sad to see that the yoghurt I drank which is 32cal is higher than a Coke zero which is only 1cal. How did that happened?

    > 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism

    So you're saying I need to drink more coke?
