Wake up, Fatties! Study: Drinking diet soda actually causes weight gain, blood sugar spikes...

"Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC) at San Antonio gathered ten years worth of data on 474 participants from a larger, ongoing study called the San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging. Among these participants, those that consumed two or more diet sodas a day experienced waist size increases that were a shocking six times greater than those who did not drink diet soda."

Pop is like ...barf in general,

make your own seltzer,
try flavours like cucumber.

We evolved drinking water not soda.

Cucumber seltzer doesn't sound good to me.

I do like a soda with lunch for some reason. I try to find that throwback Pepsi or Dew made with real sugar, not HFCS. Or a stevia soda, or la croix at least.

I will not drink diet soda and have been telling people not to drink it because it is horrible health-wise, plus it actually causes weight gain. Which is the exact opposite of why they are drinking it. And it tastes bad!

I am just astounded you can tell somebody this, and they will not listen. They are really thinking that if what I said were true, someone would have told them on TV or facebook by now, or the government would have banned it by now... This country is driving me mad.

Try it,

Most people drink shit. Everything is saturated with an intense flavour so that the taste buds are overwhelmed and confused by the chemical cocktail, gentle flavours such as cucumber, mint & a bit of honey, do not even register.

Think about it chips, salad dressings, sauces, vegetables are there for texture not flavour. A ripe real tomato is a beautiful thing) seasoned or un.

I find that I can no longer drink coke with rum, or dr pepper but can enjoy a rum with seltzer water and fresh mint, or a slight bit of cola flavour with natural sugar.

But prefer just sparkling water, with a mashed fresh cherry, or two.
A slice of peach or apricot, a hint of flavour.

Now, I am really enticed and tempted to try it. I think I'll give the seltzer with mashed cherries and peach a shot. Ya sold me! (No cucumber water, though. Eww)

Fatten them up before the harvest.

All good)

Taste is personal, millions of flavs and way healthier for you.
I pay about 40 cents per litre of seltzer including carbonation & flavour & the amount of water I drink has increased considerably) at first I bought sparkling water and mixed with flavours at home, but the carbonator and several bottles was a really good investment. Sodastream brand. Drinking almost two or three litres a day and don't spend money at the gas station + don't consume the crazy poisons put in beverages in these times.
If I sometimes pick up a fast food burger will just drink soda water from the machine with a quick squirt of flavour if I feel like it, but prefer the fizzy bubbly (as we call it) straight up or with ice.

If you wear the immortality rings by alex chiu you don't have to worry about sugar level at all. [link to asthmachurch.com]

The best way to lose 15 lbs is to stop drinking pop.

so that's how the anorexics lived for so long.

how many calories in aspartame?

drink ten pounds of liquid, gain ten pounds. every liter of water has 273 baseline rate calories, if one absolute zero water has 0 calories. increase the celsius temperature more it has 274 calories.

Science, why did you lie to the anorexics and the fatties?

So you need 2 liters of water a day, that's 546 calories, baseline rate. but water calories go faster than others. That 2000 calorie thing is a myth for world war 2 rations for lumberjacks and wrestlers.

We evolved drinking methgelin and cider, not soda. Not water either, the germs and amoebas and the other diseases in that shit from the river or the well....dammit, brew something to kill the germs.

So how do I get this diet Dr Pepper monkey off my back?

Anything marketed as "diet" is a food or beverage that allows someone to cheat on the plan of healthy dietary changes to lose weight.

The absolute most overt scam in the history of the FDA in my opinion.

Soda doesn't belong in the diet, especially if one is trying to lose weight or someone who has diabetes or some other illness.

Soda isn't part of a health driven diet. Period.

So "diet" soda is fucking laughable...all the way to the bank of the CFO and below.

An oxymoran for the ultra morans of America and beyond.
