Effect of sodas...

I had a friend who lost 50 pounds in 7 months. When he was asked how he said I used to drink a 6 pack of soda a day now I have one. Just a thought...

well!me too i was addicted in drinking of soda specially here , the soft drinks or soda are cheaper here, just like the water you can buy anytime, anywhere.I usually drink soda after we eat, i know it was not healthy to drink soda everyday but i can't resist, specially the weather is hot, you loved to drink the cold soda....wow... Any way what i did was to maintained my healthy lifestyle if ever i drink i can of soda today i should drink lots of water so that the soda i can drink would be eliminate during my urination...

I love drinking sodas especially on hot days like these but I make it a point to drink at least 2 glasses of water after drinking a can. I know that there are harmful effects to it and another thing is that it has a lot of sugar content or worse aspertame for diet sodas. It's important that we should at least take these types of drinks moderately since it can really be harmful if we drink a lot. It can also cause UTI if we drink too much soda and we don't drink enough water.

know it's bad but I have that urge for one sometimes. If we gave up everything we enjoyed in life it wouldn't be worth living. Seems like everything is bad for us these days.

A lot of people now a days love to drink sodas or soft drinks especially on a heavy meal or just in ordinary days that It would be the part of their diet.I have known a lot of people who drink less water and more on sodas which It is really unhealthy for us people to just get used to it.My friend told me that it's not good to drink water after you had just drink a soda.Is it really true?if you have any idea can you tell me more about it?I am just curious on what will happen to our stomach after we had did that.I am really not a soda lover,I only drink soda after a heavy meal and meat.I love to drink lots of water because it really help me to replenish my thirst than drinking soda.

well, that is true i agree on that. I for one is not anymore allowed to drink soda because of my hypertension and uti. So those who have not yet suffered any ailment, try to avoid soda as much as possible.

Yes, sodas are detrimental to your health, and I have given up drinking cola especially. In fact nowadays if you see me buy a can of cola be rest assured that I'm going to be cleaning out my oven tonight. hehehehe I now just drink a lot of water and tea (with splenda or stevia in the tea, not sugar or aspartane). Even juices I'm careful with except for the 100% pure from time to time, as a lot of cocktail drinks and cheaper juices are still full of refined sugar. I might be a bad gurl and drink some ginger ale

I agree.I swapped from the regular sodas to diet sodas.I thought I was helping my diet,but I was doing more damage with the diet.I try to drink more water,now.I also felt better when I got away from all of the them.I gave up regular about 30 years ago and the diet about a year ago.Lost weight by cutting out the diet sodas.They are just as bad as the regular drinks.

I think, sodas are bad for our health. Personally, I would rather drink water than to drink soda. As far as I can remember, I am not drinking softdrinks for almost two (2) years. Soda contains little vitamins or essential nutrients. Most softdrinks contain high amount of simple sugar, and too much sugar is bad for us. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in our body. This will result in weight gain and elevates risk for heart disease and cancer. In the case of a diet soda, it contains artificial sweetener which has also bad effects in our health. :)

I am not a big soda drinker but I have a weakness for pepsi. Whenever I eat unhealthy food like McDonalds I HAVE to drink a coke or pepsi afterwards. Have you ever drunken water with a bigmac? No way! I always say: "Something unhealthy asks for something unhealthy." That's why I drink coke or pepsi. The same with heavy food like noodels. I have to take a pepsi otherwise I feel crowded. I have the impression that coke or pepsi helps my digestion after a meal. Maybe it's only imagination but I feel better.
