Soda is bad for you and you should stop drinking it.

I haven't had a soda in about 2 months. It's tasty as fuck but its a body wrecker.
Real men drink milk.
[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27379357]You know what this is like? It's like the religion vs atheism argument. One side brings facts and has proof of pop being bad to drink on a day to day basis (I don't necessarily agree with the OP that you should never drink it, once in a while is okay, as long as you live healthily all the time (skinny =/= healthy)), the other basically says, "fuck you"[/QUOTE]
so in your analogy you'd be religious then
[QUOTE=Shadowwalker;27412289]fixed.[/QUOTE]
No, broken. People that have lactose intolerance, don't want thick/fattening drink, and the possibility of getting crohn's disease and many other proven problems milk has given people. I never understood why we would want to drink milk anyways. Do we give animals breast milk? Cow milk is for cows, not people. Though I suppose it makes me a bit of a hypocrite since I eat cheese, and rarely ice cream, it is not in it's pure form.

Do you have facts that say drinking 1 soda a day is perfectly fine, and won't affect in any way? No, you don't. I have facts that prove soda once a day is bad, and unhealthy.
You haven't given a single fact I can remember, and if you have, you didn't give a source. I can't fucking believe people are defending pop as much as they are.

nope, skipped this one too
[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27405355]You know what, I was told wrong information. I guess I can't trust my friends. It hasn't been proven to cause dementia, my apologies.[/QUOTE]
this has been a third of your argument this entire time, here we are 2 days later and only NOW do you actually research it :downs:

A third of my argument? I posted the dementia thing 3 times at most. I have posted much more in this thread than 9 times. Can you count?
And that first link proved nothing. There was no proof/evidence, there was just, "Well I..."
I said [B]you[/B] haven't contributed to this thread at all.
Underweight =/= healthy, soda has been proven to rot teeth([url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A47901-2004Aug30.html[/url]), it would take a long time for major problems though (years before it would cause major damage, so it isn't exactly a worrisome factor). Soda has been proven to damage bones, especially in teenagers. ([url]http://www.kidsgrowth.com/resources/adviceDetail.cfm?id=2760[/url]) and heart problems ([url]http://www.google.ca/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=soda%20bad%20for%20teenagers&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=nws:1&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wn[/url]), but that is sugar in general.
who cares what fucking facts you have that prove pop is unhealthy that's not going to stop me from drinking it

your argument from the beginning was: 1. "it'll harm you when you're old" 2. "it causes dementia" 3. something else I can't be assed to look for right now
I also find it funny you think smoking is less damaging than drinking soda
[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27384154]
As for the smoking thing, if the smokers were killing/hurting themselves, it would be the same thing, but they aren't. They are (possibly) killing/hurting their family, and wrecking our environment which affects everyone. I don't think anyone should derail this thread with that though.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27402386]Uh, do you mean, "even then that's not a good amount."?
Because one a day is still pretty bad. Heck, one pop a year is "bad" for your body, but it is the consistency of which you drink that causes the most damage to your health. Your body will recover no problem from a pop once in a while.

Yeah, and don't think that diet "insert brand of pop here" is any better. -Snip, given bad info-[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I've got a tendency to leave out words and such when I type.
But yeah, that's what I meant.

By that logic we should drink human milk instead of goat or cow milk, Not to mention the fact if a baby mammal's mom dies while the baby is still nursing they can drink other milks, And the only reason that people don't feed milk to animals is that after they grow up they become lactose intolerant.

And also Kab2tract, My grandmother died when I was 4 because she smoked.
soda is disgusting
beer on the other hand...
Soda/Pop/Soft Drinks are the worst fucking thing I have ever had to drink in my life, it tastes like Im drinking coal, not to mention it has a terrible after-taste, stains teeth and gives you gas. I have no idea why people drink this stuff.
I stopped drinking sodas a couple years ago now. Just up and decided to.
Now I only have one maybe every couple weeks.
You know what, I am fucking done. This argument is pointless and I am wasting my time.
[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27419561]I swear, you can't read. Smoking is way worse, I never say otherwise. Smokers are hurting everyone, not themselves, just unlike pop where you affect yourself. The dementia thing was about diet pop.[/QUOTE]

really? because I could have sworn you said they aren't hurting themselves but I guess I was wrong

Am I the only one who agrees with the OP?
I mean, you should at least limit your consumption of soda (not drink it everyday).
Besides beer is more mature and manly and people complain how much calories is in [I]that[/I]? Soda makes you much fatter.
i.e.: I don't want to die a lardy death.

You should limit your consumption of soda to 4 cans a day max I think you mean
:colbert:
soda doesn't make you fat if you go outside regularly, jogging 8 miles every day and doing interval training for 2 miles every weekday will pretty easily negate it
soda is why you guys are so fat
[QUOTE=cccritical;27419917]You know what, I am fucking done. My argument sucks and I am so mad I'm just going to leave.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't help that both sides of this have been full of outdated or anecdotal evidence.
Really a bad place to have this argument either way, because the peanut gallery derails it instantly.
Who drinks soda anymore
Soda is bad, m'kay?
Now excuse me while I go grab a Dr. Pepper
[QUOTE=ham!;27359047][list]It rots your teeth. And makes them more sensitive. Why? Soda has the same pH level as Vinegar, 2.5. pH level measures acidity. Dr. Elson Haas, famous health author, says “Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks.” It also dissolves enamel.[/list]
[list]It takes calcium from your bones. Dr. Michael Murray, from the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, concluded, “It appears that increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis.” Your bones break more easily too.[/list]
[list]It weakens your immune system.[/list]
[list]Dr. Marion Nestle, also famous health author, states, “The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is so strong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6 times.” You don't want that, do you?[/list]
[list]Diet soda is worse. The aspartame in them produces methanol in your bloodstream, and if you drink too much it's very dangerous.[/list]
[list]Caffeine is addicting and has really bad withdrawal symptoms. Tests at John Hopkins university found that people suffering from withdrawal had not only headache, but also fatigue, mild depression, muscle pain and stiffness, flu-like feelings, nausea and vomiting.

Stop drinking this shit[/QUOTE]
Are you another idiot trying to stir up trouble or something?
Why would I stop drinking soda, it's fucking delicious.
Does it matter we all die anyway.
