How Coca Cola Affects Your Body In 60 Minutes

[Donn]

Coca Cola 140 calories 39 grams of carbs

2 medium apples 144 calories 40 grams of carbs

I think that right there is why no one worries we'll ruin our health eating fruit: hardly ever do you see someone gobble down two apples in a row.

Fruit naturally gets eaten in natural quantities - an apple here, some grapes there, whatever. Fruit juice is fine if it goes on the menu the same way, like a glass of orange juice with breakfast. Sucking down fruit juice all day would be hard on you.

For those of you with kids, check out Apple And Eve juice packs.

I know lots of people that munch way more than 2 apples at a time. On my swim team there were people who sucked down a bottle of honey (bear shaped one), or ate an apple or 2 and an orange before meets. My brothers bodybuilding roommate has massive quantities of fresh fruit and pasta.

We can disagree because it doesn't matter. The research is saying one coke. Most people I know drink one or 2 real cokes a day because they know it is 140 calories a pop.

I did drink 6 a day but I started drinking plain carbonated water and one coke a day when I quit smoking cigarettes 2 years ago. I quit cigarettes and limited cokes because they just became stupidly expensive. I loved smoking and syrup sucking.

Mountain Dew mouth.

I never cared for pop, even as a kid. Beer is another story.

when Mountain Dew hit our market area (25 miles no. of midtown Manhattan in '64 or so) in Westchester county the response was questionable, kids were already Cola drinkers or Orange rush fans and Welch's grape soda; adults quickly found that MT Dew didn't mix well into cocktails and it sucked as a side soda (freely given in bars) to accompany shots of call liquor.

Nope, no real fan base so it would fade in & out as the local bottlers saw fit to produce/distribute it.

I loved that stuff, Mt Dew gave me incredible energy but it was never in steady supply until the 80s, by then I'd moved onto beers.......

Remember Kickapoo Joy Juice? It had more caffeine than Mountain Dew. I liked it better too.

 

[Dropped Cat]

Have a coke, thin the herd.

 

[Weird]

One of the things I don't do is drink sugar except alcohol (no im not perfect either)

Our bodies are PROFOUNDLY effected by what we put in them, but today's society throws so much at us our senses are too overwhelmed to be able to be cognitive of each input's effect.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out, Find Yourself, Come back and share what you found

yeah you can just keep adding to that fucker, open slate as it is for us all

 

[Weird]

eating disorders are one of the toughest human condition to deal with

It is sad that people think everyone has the same biology, same controls, same cause and effect as each other.

Some people just don't know the profound level upon which some substances effect some people one way and others a different way.

If someone is living a compromised life because of a lifestyle decision there is more than meets the eye that is causing the condition in the first place.

 

[psyphish]

People often defend their unhealthy lifestyle choices, probably a defense mechanism in the brain.

All the sugar and twice the caffeine of regular soda. But had less than most of today's energy drinks.

 

[snuggles]

jolt... i remember that, drank it one time as a kid and went ballistic for a couple of hours from all the caffeine.
i clearly remember the different cola taste and the lightning bolt on the can.
straight up poison

 

[Sam_Skunkman]

Yeah thats is what we need, new laws that can decide what we can and can't do. The hell with personal freedom, they are just an excuse for the folks that want to poison you for profit. End all personal freedom, and the world would be so much better, don't ya think?
I would vote for that, anything to stop all the soda slurping maniacs. I look forward to a soda free world, don't you just wish that everything that anyone considers harmful could be banned? Hint, hint....
I like carbonated water with lime juice with no sugar is that allowed or do I have to make my own bottled bubbly water with just the air around us? Is it the bubbles that need to be stopped or the sugar etc? If it is the bubbles then I am screwed, as in "If it don't bubble, it ain't worth the trouble." I can't stop now, I like resin that bubbles....

They should just ban the production of all fizzy drinks, there is absolutely no reason to drink that shit. The companies are poisoning you and making a profit.

 

[mrcreosote]

"There ought to be a law..."

There is. Or soon will be. For everything. Even the things you like and enjoy that may even be good for you.
Oh, wait...A lot of us have might have done a bit of lockup time for just that reason.

But never mind me. Go ahead and release that inner Nazi control freak you ordinarily work so hard to hide. You'll feel better, and if things go tits up, you'll be easier to identify as a menace to a future free society of equal members.

We might have a farm for those special folks who believe in 'free choices'...as long as you make the right ones.

People like you, psyphish, force everyone else into making some choices ourselves.
Some we would rather prefer not to make.

There's nothing as dangerous as thoughtless good intentions. A bit of friendly advice would be to re-examine your motivations for expressing your opinions about legally curtailing activities that cause no harm to others.
I'll bet an honest appraisal would find the altruistic element is missing.

Well, maybe companies should just be allowed to make what they want then, maybe sprinkle some crack cocaine in each can to make it just slightly more addictive.

I thought about things and I honestly don't care if some people choose to kill themselves with diabetes etc. it's not like obesity is a problem or anything.

You don't have to open a can and down it you know. You can sip like you do from a water bottle. I go through 3 litres a day. Have for around 30 years now. It forms part of a balanced diet for me. Not everyone eats the same processed shit, so some have the need for sugars and calories and coke can fit into a balanced diet, approved by nutritionists (albeit resentingly).

 

[Rubber Chicken]

If i drink enough coke will i be able to ejaculate fountains of fizzy bubbly goodness?

My girlfriend loves an impressive spoonter.

Then why say "They should just ban the production of all fizzy drinks"
You either did care or are lying about not caring now.
To me people like you are a much bigger threat then fizzy drinks, no one makes you drink fizzy drinks, any ban of anything, removes decision making from my hands and puts it into the hands of a state that has shown it is incapable of either making good laws or even if they have a law, preventing people from breaking it, why would I want to empower that? It is the road to total state control.
I can see the dealers all offering black market pepsi and coke drinks alongside the heroin and other drugs they sell. As long as you pay their price, $10 a can. When I was in Calif last I noticed several stores and restaurants offering coke from Mexico with cane sugar not corn sugar, people buy them because they say they taste better. I guess after your ban, all cokes will be from Mexico, and all black market, that is how it works. And maybe because they are black market they will have crack cocaine in each can, that is the nature of black markets they have no controls. Sometimes the best meaning solutions only make things worse, like all drug laws.

Or you could just not drink them or is that to simple?

As for obesity being a problem, sure it is, why don't you just ban it? If you really think bans work, good luck. Then you can also ban gambling, sex for profit, and hell, why not rock and roll, it just gets the kids all shook up and then they might want to dance with a person of a different race. Ban them all.......

I think the cane sugar one is kosher cola, orange top to the bottle. It does taste slightly better but is hard to get in the part of the UK I'm in.
