Is there really no consensus on whether or not this stuff is bad for you?
>>22109875yo mama soooooo fatwhen she went to the super bowlSHE BROUGHT A SPOON!!!
>>22109875there is consensus, it’s bad mkay
>>22109875Pour a lot of cheap whiskey into it to kill the bad stuff
What do you mean no consensus? Are you only talking to your middle school friends about this?
>>22109875If you work out, a moderate amount of it isn't going to hurt you.
>>22109900What if one is a fatass such as myself?
>>22109910Unless you're drinking it like water, the amount of harm it does is less than the rest of your lifestyle.
>>22109875Depends on what you mean by "bad for you," OP. It's carbonated sugar water, basically pure calories with no other nutritional value. So, whether or not it's bad for you depends on whether your caloric budget can absorb the amount of those empty calories you consume. A single soda per day probably isn't going to do much of anything to you, but if you drink it as your primary beverage while living a sedentary lifestyle, you're going to become an obese diabetic.
>>22109975
>>22109875It's sugar (not speaking of the yank corn tripe), which is good for active lifestyles (i.e. mine, not you fat shits).Also has some acids or some shit you don't get much where else which are apparently also good.
>>22110001Ah, the essential phosphoric acid
>>22110001it doesn't just have sugar it has a bunch of artificial shit to give it that taste and colour and it has coca leaf extract in it too, and a bunch of studies found that coca cola contains fluorescent microscopic particles that no other soda has and they have been proven to cross the blood brain barrier. if you're going to drink soda at least choose something safer and more artisanal, coca cola isn't just obesity juice it's the devil's cum
>>22110014>coca cola contains fluorescent microscopic particles that no other soda hasawesome
>>22109875It's obviously bad for you you stupid idiot
>>22109875It has been used historically to settle the stomach, so essentially it's medicine. You shouldn't chug several of them a day though.
>>22110001>not you fat shits
>>22110058Which one would you recommend?
As long as it's not diet, you're fine.
>>22110058bodied that pedo
>>22110114Oh hi there definitely not >>22110058
>>22110118nope.stop being a pedo.
>>22109875Liquid calories are the fucking worst. It's a shame too because soda is fucking delicious. Literal liquid crack. When I came home yesterday I wanted to stop and pick up a 2 L of Coke or Root Beer but I fought off the urge and just went upstairs and had water. Just got back from grocery shopping so I can at least make some smoothies now so I won't be tempted.
>>22110103Because soda without sugar and calories is POISON. Just like that girl from the Bell Biv DeVoe song.
>>22109875Its bad for you
>>22110001>Also has some acids or some shit you don't get much where else which are apparently also good.yeah good for de-calcifying your teeth
>>22109875As much as it sucked as a kid, my parents would hardly ever buy pop, and if they ever did it would be like...some sort of off brand black cherry for some reason, even though they could afford the good shit!I''m glad they didnt keep it stocked though, now as a adult I view having a soda as a treat. NOTHING beats a ice fucking cold Coca Cola.Oh also, i do find it disgusting that people just drink soda all day long.....its fucking liquid candy dip shits. They had it at like old timey candy stores back in the day
>>22109875It doesn't matter 99.9% of your health risks are genetic, just don't ingest anything that has been shown to 100% cause cancer and you'll be fine, or at least as fine as your genetics allow you to be.
>>22109883Oh, you kids and your dozens!
really good for you, specially your teethyour bones need citric acid and corn syrup to function
>>22110174Or best girl from Final Fight.
>>22109875It really is alltogether too much sugar but eh
>>22109875what the fuck are you talking about OP its really bad for you. It has an insane amount of sugar.
>>22110601Did you see how well it removes rust? Just think, your teeth will literally never be rusty again.
>>22110001>Also has some acids or some shit you don't get much where else which are apparently also good.that doesn't sound right
rots ur teeth
>>22110524my parents were the same. they only allowed me to have one can of store brand cola per week. one time i found their stash and went crazy with it, hiding the empty cans around the house so they wouldn't know. don't let your kids have unrestricted soda access
>>22109875coke zero has no negative health side effects other than what carbonated drinks do to your teeth if you consume them a lot and also making you feel fucking awesomeits crazy how we came up with the best tasting beverage in the world and you can just drink it and be fine
>>22111521>other than what carbonated drinks do to your teethcarbonated drinks don't broadly hurt your teeth, it's only if they have a low pH since that temporarily softens the surface of your teeth. the problem with colas specifically is that they use phosphoric acid. if your diet doesn't have a balanced calcium and phosphorus intake, then your body starts removing calcium from your bones and teeth to metabolize the excess phosphorus. i would stay away from any soda that uses phosphoric acid
>>22109875It's fine if you actually exercise.
>>22111517nice lol. Yeah I remember one of my friends had one of those fridges in the garage just completely stocked with soda, I couldnt fucking believe it the first time i saw it...it was like...in a movie when they open up a box and just gold light emits from it, we def went crazy on the sodas whenever i went over, no way in hell i let my parents know though
>>22109875Its acid that disintegrates bone. Goyslop that kills you
>>22109875having 2/3 cokes a week is fine. but most soda drinkers I know barely touch water and consume soda 24/7. there is no universe where that is healthy, even if its zero calorie.
my parents kept coke stocked in the fridge 24/7 and did not give a single damn that me and my brother drank it day and night and never touched water. They were doing the same thing. I have tried quitting many many times, but I just cant. It has a powerful grip on my psyche. I mostly drink zero brands now, but the damage is done, and it doesnt make a difference because Im a fatass. I am fat, I still almost never drink water, soda is still my primary beverage.I am way too ugly and brain damaged for anyone to ever love me, but if I did have a kid, there would never be soda in the house.
>>22109875buy an ad.
15 months of no soda. Best part? Those liquid calories can go towards actual food.
>>22113982Ack muh bones bros
