TweetSoda is the devil...
TweetMan, this is scary. Something as simple as a soda can wreak havoc!!!!! We're talking millions and millions of people here. Its a serious addiction
What happens to your body after you drink a soda every day, for a long time
Sugar rushes and caffeine highs followed by a depressing energy crash are what happens to your body if you drink a soda right now, but plenty of Blisstree readers actually seem to be okay with that. Some of you think it’s alarmist to compare a caffeine and sugar rush to doing drugs, and some just don’t really care about the slump they’ll find themselves in after drinking 39 grams of sugar, but what makes us really worried about a soda-slurping habit is what happens over the long term.
Here’s a quick snapshot of you, in a few years, after drinking soda on a regular basis:
You’ll Be Fatter: According to research in the Nurse’s Health Study, which monitored the health of 90,000 women for eight years, drinking a single soda every day of the week added 10 pounds over a four-year period.
You’ll Probably Have Diabetes: In the Nurses’ Health Study, women who said they drank one or more servings a day of a sugar-sweetened soft drink or fruit punch were twice as likely to have developed type 2 diabetes during the study than those who rarely consumed these beverages.
You’re Much More Likely to Develop Heart Disease: According to a study published in 2007 in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, subjects who drank a soda every day over a four-year period had a 25% chance of developing high blood sugar levels and a 32% greater chance of developing lower “good” cholesterol levels. The Nurses’ Health Study found that women who drank more than two sugary beverages per day had a 40% higher risk of heart attacks or death from heart disease than women who rarely drank sugary beverages.
You’re Probably Also Less Healthy In Other Ways: Several studies, including the 2007 study published in Circulation, suggest that diet sodas have some of the same effects on health as regular sodas, despite having none or very little of the sugar. Why? Drinking soda is typically part of an overall lifestyle that’s not very healthy: We know you don’t like us to compare drinking caffeine and sugar to substance abuse, but when it comes to your lifestyle, some think that soda is just like a gateway drug.
Tweetno the devil is the devil and soda is one of his minions..................
TweetNot to mention the acidity destroys the enamel on your teeth.
TweetI'm the exception here.
Because I rarely drink coffee, I drink about 4 to 8 Diet sodas a day.
They push me through work and working out after work. My teeth are white and healthly (I only have one cavity, from fifteen years ago) and I feel great.
I've been drinking Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi for as long as I can remember, but I don't drink the "regular" sodas because of the calories and the fact they are too sweet for me.
Just my own opinions and observations.
But, like with anything, people can react differently, therefore what is okay for me may not be okay for someone else.
Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated..
TweetSYMBOLIC!!!! always great to see you around brother!!!

Wow, that's scary! So when I used to hear that coke would dissolve a rusty nail, that was true? Glad I don't drink pop!

TweetI am extremely addicted to Co-Cola. I;ve always smahed my share of coffee everyday. I didn't drink carbonated drinks for well over a decade. I stopped shortly after high-school. Now, I've been killin the cases of Coke. I love it! I had no idea. Thought I hated it. Then, it was just too hot for coffee a few months ago, & I've been on Cokes ever since. Highly addictive! Love 'em! gotta have 'em
TweetI drink Zero Coke, so i guess im fine..I have great teeth..never had a cavity, so i guess im an exception..I know they are filled with chemicals, but you have to die of something dont u?
