Why You Should Never Drink Soda Again

[Fidei Defensor]

My monthly dose of pseudoscience in one thread.

There are plenty of valid studies that show poor health outcomes associated with higher consumption of soft drinks.

 

My kidney stones can't be proven to be caused by soda, but phosphoric acid in the soda can increase your phosphate levels which can also lead to a higher risk of stones in the long run.

If you stop drinking soda you will turn into a pony, this is also a fact

Mortify just showed us how to freebase coke. Me thinks someone has a problem which goes deeper than soda consumption.

Is there something you want to tell us Morty McFly?

Since you have such a good grasp of real science, could you please back up your position with some evidence.  Snide comments are not actually science.

However too little leads to death by dehydration.

Its 100% true. Too much dihydrogen monoxide can disrupt the concentration of ions in your cells. What happens is DHMO starts to rush into your cells to make up for the concentration differnce thus causing your cells to swell. Bad news for your brain because your brain can only swell so much till you die cause your skull is in the way.

Added sugars make up at least 10% of the calories the average American eats in a day. But about one in 10 people get a whopping one-quarter or more of their calories from added sugar.

Over the course of the 15-year study, participants who took in 25% or more of their daily calories as sugar were more than twice as likely to die from heart disease as those whose diets included less than 10% added sugar. Overall, the odds of dying from heart disease rose in tandem with the percentage of sugar in the diet—and that was true regardless of a person’s age, sex, physical activity level, and body-mass index (a measure of weight).

Sugar-sweetened beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks are by far the biggest sources of added sugar in the average American’s diet. They account for more than one-third of the added sugar we consume as a nation.

 

 

She supports the American Heart Association’s recommendation that women consume less than 100 calories of added sugar per day (about 6 teaspoons) and men consume less than 150 per day (about 9 teaspoons).

To put that in perspective, a 12-ounce can of regular soda contains about 9 teaspoons of sugar, so quaffing even one a day would put all women and most men over the daily limit.
