Diet Drinks

[rado]

This.....don't like soda or coffee sometimes I make acai tea. I drink 8 bottles of water ED. Which is 1.5gallons.

everyone has it in their mind to say "fuck diet soda" but explain why? why do you think its bad?

I think most of the bad rap comes from how they sweeten these drinks. If I'm going to have one its going to be a regular non diet Coca Cola..ice cold!

Absolutely. The controversy is the sweetener, but carbonation in itself isn't good for your teeth or bones, either.

Fb I thought it was the combo of carbonation and high fructose corn syrup that wast good for teeth

It is. Corn syrup isn't good for anything.


Have you seen places that sell real Mexican Coke now? Sugar, not high fructose corn syrup crap.

I hear ya. It's a completely different taste. Some people swear up and down that those artificial sweeteners are the cause of negative medical issues. Also, many people believe that your body treats artificial sweetener the same as it does sugar - so there would basically be no point in doing "diet". It's not "natural", so you are ingesting a "chemical" /something manufactured of some type/sort. I guess it's personal preference whether you "chance" it or not. :dunno: Hell, TAB has been around forever, so it's not like it's new to us.

i can understand people thinking the diet chemicals being not healthy for your body. they may very well be correct. BUT your body does not treat artificial sweetner the same way it treats sugar. anyone can easily test this by drinking a regular soda and testing there blood sugar and the next day testing there blood sugar after a diet soda. no response from diet while you will get a huge spike from regular.

You know you drink a couple miller lights every night. Actually I think you may drink some good beer from time to time.

I am a huge fan of Coca Cola. One of my favorite cheat items I consume.
I had no idea the mex brand was still sugar. I may have to import me a few cases of those.

I don't think you can buy it just anywhere, but they do sell it at the wholesale clubs - Sam's Club, Costco, and probably BJ's (I haven't checked)

I really like Coke as well. I try not to drink it, but I do prefer it over Diet. I haven't tried the Mexican, but I like that it comes in glass bottles. Those are the best! :thumup:

Coke zero idiots. Taste just like coke without shit sugar.

Tastes almost like coke but not quite. I don't care for it. On the rare occassion I drink a soda it has to be a real coke fountain soda.
