    Default soda.. how bad is it for you?

    i stopped drinking soda a while ago but i honestly don't think it makes any difference. i usually drink diet coke, not because it's diet but just because i like it. all i drink is 1% milk and water, but then when i drink alcohol i figure it's mixed with juice anyway, so why shouldn't i drink other stuff?

    I have read that diet soda causes cravings while regular soda is strongly linked to obesity because of it's high fructose corn syrup content.

    well....there is nothing good in soda, diet or regular. There are so many better choices and it's not like you have to sacrifice much.

    I gave up high fructose corn syrup and I drink Pepsi 1 when I need the a soda really bad.

    If you look at the ingredients of a lot of foods... almost EVERYTHING good has high fructose corn syrup. It sucks.

    I rarely drink any soda(and even then usually only as a mixer..lol). I just get a bit weirded out at the thought of drinking something that can strip the rust off a car battery....yikes!

    I'm a recovering soda addict (day 13 soda-less!) and I have to tell you, even though I still crave it, I now know just how bad it is.

    It less than 2 weeks, my teeth are whiter, my skin is better (clearer complexion, smoother texture), my stomach is flattened, and while my weight hasn't drastically changed, I have so much less cellulite, because I'm consuming so much less sugar and all that other junk.

    And diet soda typically has aspartame, which is pretty much the devil.

    Go to a high school science fair. It's pretty standard that some kid will do the soda/teeth experiment, where they put a tooth in soda, and show it's progression as it falls apart and turns ugly colors. That will help convince you.

    I quit drinking sodas when I moved to a region where cold drinks were nowhere as appealing as hot drinks (Rocky Mountain region!)

    I feel a lot better & if I want something fizzy I have seltzer water & fruit juice mixed together.

    Soda is soooo terrible.. I lost 3lbs. a week for 3 weeks when I went off it... and I kept it off.

    Fuze is a great soda replacement... 99.8(orsomething)&#37; juice.. and carbonation.. tastes just like soda.

    I don't know how bad it is for you but I do know that Coke/Pepsi do a GREAT job at cleaning rust out of a cast iron pan! It really does! You can watch the bubbles work in action!

    OMG. I would be broke if I lived there then. I stick with Fuze though because for some reason any other soda breaks my face out. So to keep the smooth skin I try to stay away from it.

    Soda (regular OR diet ....no matter what brand, Fuze, Jones, Coke, etc) can erode your tooth enamel due to the pH level. Anything that's acidic or has a low pH eventually breaks down your enamel, which is why even diet soda can cause cavities. (technically even things like too much orange juice, etc)
