Your thought on soda?

[Azraele]

I drink juice

Grape soda on occasion cause it tastes good.

I like anything that God forbid and what is bad for me.

I can of regular soda has around 35 grams of sugar. In fact, they dissolve as much sugar into the soda as possible. Do you all realize that a single sugar packet contains ONE gram (some actually have less, like .8). Can you imagine putting 35 or even 40 of those packets into a drink? Caffeine is an addictive drug - much like nicotine, minus the health risks of the smoke. It is a diuretic which can cause dehydration. The acids in soda leach calcium off your bones and can cause ulcers. I have a friend who was hospitalized for having dozens of ulcers caused solely by Mountain Dew and OTC pain killers. But hey, i love the stuff - but everything in moderation, eh?

Once in awhile I'll drink juice - but for the most part I restrict my liquid intake to good old H20.

Pop/Soda/Coke is suck~! Lowers your resitence to disease and sickness. :frown:

I'm an orange juice (the REAL stuf, not that fake Sunny Delight bullcrap) or water kind of guy. I'll pass on the pop. Used to drink tons as a kid, but now can't stand it. Although, I must say, if pop is what's available, then it better be Barq's w/ no ice. NO ice. Watered down Root Beer just ain't right.

As for the soda/ pop thing, I'm in Washington, so it's not an East-West thing. Can't remember the last time I've heard anyone mention the word soda other then when referring to the white soda you stick in your fridge.

Soda..... don't think I'll be drinking any of THAT anytime soon Too fizzy. That's what I use to clean my battery terminals with....baking soda and water. Think I'd rather have a pop.

i try to limit as much soda as possible and drink as much water as i can (and juice.. love REAL OJ and apple/cranberry).

Diet soda tastes like crap to me, and regular soda is just a bunch of sugar that's bad for me.. i'm *trying* to get into shape here... emphasis on trying..

I don't like to drink soda because it's bad for your teeth, if it has Phosphoric Acid it depletes the calcium in your bones, and Nutrasweet has been shown to be worse than Saccarine. It does taste good though
