I dunno. Usually whenever I've had coffee I get the visit from Mr. Turtle not too soon afterwards, but then again I only drink coffee once in a blue moon. Either that or a slight tummy ache. I'm definitely pushing my luck though, as I've just had a second cup...

Weird beard. I get the tummy ache if I drink soda. We're opposites!
However unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just on opposite ends.

sugar is not the enemy to end all enemies. a balanced nutrition is what is needed. a glass or two or three of orange juice a day (my simply orange jug says 8oz contains 22g of sugar, so 12oz has 33g.) is not going to make a kid fat. It's the ho-hos, the fruit snacks, etc etc.
same goes for stuff like powerade and gatorade. you NEED that sugar, it's part of a balanced package of salts and sugars that help keep you hydrated and provide a small burst of extra energy. and if you are drinking powerade, likely you are using that sugar, or are merely regaining if you are like me and drink sports drinks AFTER I'm finished working out (due to not being able to drink things while doing PT in the morning, besides water from a water fountain inbetween things).

Depends how much sugar you put in your coffee, but most likely cola is worse.
I feel your pain, though. Trying to cut down myself after being berated repeatedly by my dentist...
Yeah, about the sugar I just found this info:
Coca-Cola owns both Coke® and Minute Maid®
juices, so they are happy to sell either of these
beverages in schools. Kids don't care whether
they drink a pop or juice because they both taste
good. That is, juice has the same and often
more sugar than soft drinks. A 12-ounce can or
bottle of Coke® contains 9 teaspoons of sugar
(equal to 39 grams of carbohydrate). The same
amount of unsweetened apple juice has at least 10
teaspoons of sugar (equal to up to 46 grams of
carbohydrate). Unsweetened orange juice
contains the same amount of sugar as a cola. A
?sports drink? such as Gatorade® Thirst
Quencher has 5 teaspoons of sugar and
Powerade® Regular has 7 teaspoons, but
Gatorade® Energy Drink has about 19 teaspoons
of sugar, and a whopping 310 calories, in that 12-
ounce bottle. Water from the water fountain has
no sugar and zero calories.

Coffee has a laxative effect on some people? I only get an annoyed gut if I end up consuming too much dairy (lactose) with it.
Coffee (or tea) is much better for you than cola. I lost a lot of weight by quitting soda, cutting back on juice, and switching to tea and coffee as beverages of choice. I prefer tea to soda anyway on basis of flavor and thirst quenching.

it might, the laxitive/diuretic stuff only really affects coffee n00bs. regular drinkers are highly resistant to such effects.

Cola is truly hazardous to your health.

I remember in school as a kid, the teacher put a tooth in a glass of coke to make a point, and the coke ate the tooth away after a few days.
I have always believed sugared pop and drinks that everyone consumes now a days, especially children, is the main cause in the dramatic rise of diabetes.
