Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

And fyi...Gatorade is bad for you to drink with a meal or drink casually. Unless you're doing a serious workout where you're sweating a lot, you're basically drinking sugar water.

Yea for some reason folks this Gatorade is good for them

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

Yeah, I only drink a Gatorade after I get home from work (construction) for the day if I've been sweating a lot.

1. THey are as bad as people make them out to be. Most people don't understand moderation when it comes to sodas. So again, they ARE as bad as they are made out to be.

2. I don't eat fast food, so you would have lost that bet :wink:

3. I don't believe in the "eat anything you want; just work it off" logic. Externally you MIGHT can cover it up, but there are two parts to a body. THe inside and the outside. I am sure you know where I am getting.

4. LOL @ A Coke or TWO every day won't hurt you? Ok. Believe that if you want

1. You're agreeing with me then. When in moderation, they aren't that bad.

2. I call BS on that.

3. Believe what you wish, but cokes drank in moderation aren't hurting you as bad as you want to believe.

4. I will. I've never seen someone have problems from drinking LESS than a 12-pack of cokes in a week.


You're missing the point here. I practice moderation.

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

I drink maybe 1 diet soda a day at the most. Probablly a regular Coke or Mountain Dew every 2 weeks. My big problem was the energy drinks with one a day everyday for 7 months. I am suprised I'm not dead after that.

Isn't it bad to drink a lot of Gatorade? Like...almost 24/7?

Yeah. I think a lot of people mistakenly believe that just because it's not soda means that it's OK to drink a lot of it. Sugar is sugar, whether it's from soda or a sports drink. Gatorade is best during or after a workout or when you're sweating a lot and need to put electrolytes and some sodium back into your body.

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

Am I missing something?? Is soda horrible for your body??

I drink a 24 pack of Dr. Pepper in 2 weeks. Nobody has told me that's bad for me.

Well it's high fructose corn syrup and water to the tune of about 200 nutritionally-void calories and 40+ grams of sugar. If you drink them fairly often, you're taking in a ton of calories, sugar, and carbohydrates that you're likely not expending before it turns to fat. 3500 calories generally equals about a pound of fat, so if you drink a soda per day, you're adding approximately 1400 calories to your diet each week. Most people drink more than that...

So yeah, not great, unless you really like diabetes. High fructose corn syrup is evil enough to have its own lobby and commercials saying "it's not that bad, really guys!"... There's absolutely no reason that high fructose corn syrup should be in things like ketchup, but it's always there in spades as the 5th ingredient or higher on the labels. It's garbage with zero nutritional value aside from the calories it provides.

Once again Wikipedia has a pretty thorough examination of the various health effects (from both sides): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fr...Health_effects

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

Once I read that drinking soda was proven to cause you to eat more foods and inhibit your weight loss efforts I cut down to about 1 or 2 diet cokes a month. I drink water with lemon or juice using sucralose as my main drinks.

It can't be bad....it's got electrolytes! (hopefully someone gets this)

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

I dominate soda like a champ. Need to break the habit though. I have 2 cans of Dr Pepper a night and maybe 3 or 4 glasses of it a day.

I don't drink soda at work though which is pretty weird. I prefer Fruit Punch there.

Re: How Much Soda Do You Drink A Week

Maybe 3 or 4 during the week. Usually only get them when I go out. Other than that its water, iced tea, and green tea.
