>not sure if b8 or not

I drink the occasional can. at most 2 a week.

its not the worst thing. ~160 kcal a can. but its all sugar and acid. it'll do more damage to your teeth than anything else.

>>134925

nah this was a serious question. I guess i just have strong teeth genetically or something I brush my teeth 1x a day and dont really get cavities.

You won't see the effects until it's too late.

Since roughly 10 years, I've been drinking up to a gallon of diet coke every day. I've lost 120lbs during the course of one year and my teeth are fine, too.

>>134927

Shut the fuck up you third world nigger, ok? Just shut the fuck up.

>>134930

Hey fuck you Mohammed I'll fuck you up

Worst part about soda is the empty calories. Literally the emptiest calorie thing you can consume with no nutritional value. Other than that, bad for your teeth.

>>134930

You don't want to be like this guy, op. Don't drink soda.

>>134926

Check your gumline. It's probably already receeding and your teeth roots are being exposed.

All aluminum should be carefully avoided. Aluminum displaces iron and accumulates in the brain or CNS where it causes degenerative brain diseases or Parkinson's.

I destroyed my teeth and became hideously obese due entirely to drinking soda daily. My diet otherwise was fine. If you think it doesn't affect your teeth because you have good genetics or some bullshit, you are probably a fucking teenager and haven't been drinking it long enough to see the effects yet. When it begins, it'll be too late to correct your behavior, they're already dead.

Soda and Juice are okay once in a while. Just make sure you drink them through a straw so you don't ruin your teeth.

Aspartame:

It never passed proper safety tests, but good 'ol Donald Rumsfeld didn't let that stop him getting it approved.

>>134924

You need to cut it out. Soda is liquid death. I speak no hyperbole when I say you'd be better off drinking that much alcohol.

>>135675

I'm pretty sure only diet colas use aspartame anymore. The other drinks (no-cal energy stuff, diet dew, diet orange/grape/etc) use sucralose.

>>135690

Do only beaner sodas use actual sugar?

>>134924

You're literally living the most unhealthy lifestyle possible.

Actually I don't even care if you die. I'm just going to post this comment incase someone who actually matters reads it:

Stop scarfing down the carbs.

Never drink soda or high fructose corn syrup (it's in food too).

Stop playing video games. You are falling for game theory and you are not accomplishing anything meaningful with your life.

Pornography and masturbation are bad for your brain. You won't be able to concentrate on anything meaningful.

Your cardiovascular system will go to shit in your 20s if you don't stop.

Keep drinking goyim.

Fuck OP, who alse /sodaless/ here ?

Soda is similar to the word sodomy, which indicates what sort of degenerates partake in it. Teeth aren't even the worst problem here, the amount of sugar ,acid and caffeine those contain is subhuman. Part why I despise the gamer culture, they are all soda slurping doughboys

>>134985

Does this apply to milk as well?

>>137372

Everything this guy said is right. However, he said it in the most reddit way possible, which is worthy of ridicule.

>>137372

>Never drink soda or high fructose corn syrup (it's in food too).

Are you saying I shouldn't be drinking a glass of sugary drink when taking creatine either?

I usually have some Pepsi after lunch to help digestion and increase glycemia for the before-mentioned creatine.

>>137377

Checked. Soda is fucking poison. I hate seeing parents give that nasty shit to their children, like it's normal for a kid to have a large Coke or Mt Dew with their meal.

>>134985

Got any sources on that?Or just more info I could look into. Writing an article on aluminum and other metalloestrogens right now.

I have a friend who drinks soda everyday. He thinks my high-quality green tea tastes like plain water. So it would seem that, in addition to everything else mentioned in this thread, soda also kills your tastebuds.

>>137465

But green tea does taste like water.

So long as it's raw+unfiltered honey, organic milk/yogurt, or some other rare simple-carb that's NOT empty calories.

If you have a coffee bean grinder, here's a post-workout suggestion: for grind about 1/4 cup oats (rolled or steel whether you are or aren't on a cut, respectively) or even flax if you need more healthy fats than complex carbs, then about 1/2 to 1 tbsp raw honey, grind some more so the honey and oats are mixed thoroughly. Add jewdust too IIFYM but real food's always better.

how are malt-based drinks compared to soda?

>>137465

People who drink soda all the time always bitch and moan when they have to drink water. "It's so tasteless!" or "How does anyone drink this shit?"

They carry shitty little mixers to pour into the water bottle to make it tea or gatorade or something. Disgusting people.

>>137465

>He thinks my high-quality green tea tastes like plain water.

He's wrong - green tea tastes like slightly tainted water.

>>137587

Then make green tea, and then brew coffee with it to get the best of both worlds.

Bruh sugar is so addictive that people brought slavery back to be able to meet the demand. It's basically pure calories that goes right to your fat deposits after fucking up your insulin. Food companies put it in fucking everything now because it makes people more likely to want to eat more of it. It's legit hard to find sugar free food for a lot of items in the US now, outside specialty stores. Sugar like you get in sodas is also paired with caffeine which will help dehydrate you and make you thirstier. And when you get the sugar/caffeine crash you're subconsciously wanting more soda to make up for that and because you're thirsty (even though it'll just make you thirstier).

>>no "you have to run 5 miles to burn off the calories from that soda" meme

That's just a fact. If you actually examine how many calories are in your food then it's amazing how dense junk food is. If your diet and metabolism are enough to handle 1-3 cokes a day then you could replace those calories with something more nutritious and be a lot healthier for it.

>>137465

>soda also kills your tastebuds.

sugar fucks up your ability to enjoy normal food

My dad grew up eating wonderbread and he can't stand normal bread even though it still has sugar, just less of it.

>>137631

Fucking everything at the store has added sugar, corn syrup, soybean oil, and all kinds of other bullshit. You can minimize the damage but goddamn if the only way to really avoid the nutritional jew isn't just moving out into the woods somewhere and growing/killing everything you eat.

>>135675

Aspartame has been studied plenty. Saccharin is safer, but like Saccharin, the molecule is too big for rat kidneys but passes through human kidneys just fine. The only thing with Aspartame is you shouldn't let your sodas get too hot.

>>137465

That's the sugar desensitizing at work. My little brother is the same way- he throws so much fucking garlic, salt, and sugar on his food that his tastebuds are desensitized so he can't taste subtle flavours any more.

Go without eating/drinking sugary shit for a week or two and then eat a banana or ripe peach. The sweetness of it is almost nauseating. After I stopped drinking soda, I can only drink the occasional Tab without getting sick from how sweet it is. I still enjoy fizzy water and sparkling mineral water without any sweeteners added- at most I like "club soda" which is basically sparkling water with salt.

>>137518

>Malt-based drinks

God-tier, but they tend to have 30-60grams of sugar in a single bottle, so at that point you'd be better off drinking makgeolli or beer.

>>137522

Kek. I have a co worker who is exactly like that. Dude used to drink at least 4 Mountain Dews a day. He then switched to Arizona tea which is just as bad because there is three servings in that tall can. Just yesterday I heard him say, "bleh! Nasty!" just from drinking plain water. He used those sweeter packets for a while too.

I'll tell you a story from when I was 18. I was in the military; I'd just graduated boot camp and was in apprenticeship training for my technical specialty. Coming into apprenticeship school, I was 6'4" and 205 lbs thanks to being fresh out of boot camp. Being in the military, I did physical training 3 times a week and not having a car I walked to everywhere I needed to go; I wasn't living like a lazy fatass.

Due to limited space in the school house, my specialty went to school at night, from about 6PM to midnight. And of course since the working hours for things the military required me to do were typically ended by 6, I was usually obliged to be awake no later than 10 AM. The end result? I was fucking tired all the time. I was on the brink of falling asleep in class every night. I didn't like coffee, I didn't like energy drinks, and 5 hour energy seemed overpriced. What did I do? I knocked back a couple of mountain dews every night to stay awake. It worked, it kept me alert, before long I held the highest score in my class. I was pretty pleased with myself for pulling this off without having to suffer the taste of nasty navy coffee.

After about a month of this, it was time for a bi-annual physical fitness test. The first step was a weigh-in. I was 230 lbs. Ten pounds over what the navy considered my maximum weight. No matter though, I just sucked in my gut when they measured my waist me to see if I was over 20% bf, in which case I would have failed right then and there. No problem. Next came the actual physical test: sit-ups, push-ups, and a run. I did good on this test in boot camp, so I wasn't worried about it. I should have been. I failed the push-up portion.

The result? I had to spend six months in a humiliating fitness enhancement program with a bunch of fatties. The moral? Don't drink soda every day.

>>137845

>The moral?

The moral is you should have kept better track of the calories you were consuming.

It's hard to believe that you gained 30 pounds without even noticing. And such weight gain isn't attributable to the sole Mountain Dew.

>>137848

Calories in/calories out is a good rule of thumb, but there's definitely more to fat storage than just that.

Orange soda is always the absolute worst.

Usually the highest sugar content on any of them excluding maybe mountain dew.

>>137853

>the shill meme

Not an argument.

Drink coffee like a man next time, fatty.
