Thoughts on Soda.
Replies
-
Well..I've lived in 2 different states..Massachusetts, we called it Soda.
Now. I live in Michigan. Got used to calling it "Pop" After a while.
I still have both regular & diet..occasionally, I'll take a sip or 2 from Pepsi, whenever offered..and have a full glass/can..maybe every couple of weeks. I cut back on it drastically but have replaced it with coffee..which is just as bad..concidering I'll fill my 15oz mug 3-4 times daily with cream/sweetner. It's not too bad..though.0 -
I love soda, but it's worthless calories. I hate drinking my calories.0
-
I break down and drink regular soda once in a while. Sometimes I just need that to quench my thirst. I am trying to break the habit but it hasn't happened so far.0
-
I'd rather eat my calories than drink them, unless we're talking about beer. I just don't really care for cokes that much, although occasionally a Dr. Pepper hits the spot...and by occasionally I mean maybe once a year.0
-
I usually drink water.....sometimes I have soda.....when I do I log it.0
-
I only drink water.0
-
i don't drink reg soda because its empty calories. i mostly drink water, and one or two cups of coffee per day. about once every two weeks i might have a diet soda.0
-
I do, one coke per day, but I am finding that I want less and less, but I also drink about 12 glasses of water per day0

It's not soda, it's pop. Y'all must be from the south.
I first started losing weight when I dropped cokes, so I don't drink them anymore except on rare occasions. I have been enjoying the occasional frufru soda's made from sparkling water/juice/sugar. But not too many, once every week or two.0 -
The pop/soda thing is too funny. I'm in Canada so everyone calls its pop, except my 5 year old, who calls it soda.0

Giving up the need to have flavor in my beverages is a huge part of why I lost 40lbs. I drink water and occasionally seltzer pretty exclusively.0
-
i drink reg soda! never diet! diet may be better in cals but NOT on weight loss! diet is even worst. i drink reg in moderation0
-
I drank diet coke for years, and ate anything I wanted. I craved sugary junk.....and when I stopped I have alot less sugar cravings!!0
-
I only drink diet pop, I don't like to drink my calories, I prefer to eat them, plus I have diabetes so regular is off limits, but either way gotta watch the sodium. And pop/soda all the same thing who cares what it's called.0
-
I've been off soda since I was in high school. I worked at a gas station and got free pop whenever I wanted.. Then I heard they yellow your teeth. So I quit them for good LOL0

Search Youtube for - Sugar: The bitter truth.
Watch it.
Then research what the acids do to your digestive system.
Then never drink a soda again.
Definition of a poison in the body- anything that must be passed through the liver for metabolization.
100% of High Fructose Corn must be processed by the liver. 100% of HFCS after metabolized becomes fat cells. HFCS is the main ingredient in soda.
So...Soda = Poison. Pretty much as bad for your liver as alcohol, and even worse for other functions of the body.
I have no idea where you got that definition from as your liver is probably one of the most active organs in your body in respect to oxidizing triglyceride, synthesizing lipoproteins, synthesizing cholesterol and phospholipids and a great many other metabolic functions.
Personally I don't drink soft drinks and try to avoid products containing high fructose corn syrup but your assertion is based on a faulty premise.0 -
In eastern PA I grew up on pop. Now that I live in western PA I drink some diet soda, but try to limit my intake tomostly water with lemon. No reg soda pop or even fruit juice for that matter. I once was borderline diabetic and now keep a close watch on those sugar calories0
-
I have regular pop (usually some kind of cola) about once a week or less. I like it, but I think it's a waste of money and calories, so mainly stick with water and coffee. I will not drink diet... that's some nasty stuff!0
-
I wish I didn't want to drink Pepsi regular lol0
-
Very occasionally I will drink a reg ginger ale or Mountain Dew. Otherwise I totally avoid soda altogether0
