so you drink 3 litres of coke a day? you are going to die VERY early.

that's 400 grams (nearly a pound) of extra sugar a day, on top of sugar from other sources. and that's just the sugar, what to talk of the acidity and the colours and preservatives.

^ ok

amazingly my teeth are still very white and I get good reports from the dentist. I guess they'll rot away when I turn 40?

1/4/2006 5:24:34 PM

reminds me of the drive-through skit on the Tenacious D cd

Why don't we share ideas for where to get a healthy meal or how to start a healthy restaurant for the masses so that we wouldn't be tempted to eat a double whopper w/cheese, french fries cooked in month old grease, and a diet coke.

1/4/2006 5:40:50 PM

^^^ who said anything about teeth?

hold a one pound bag of sugar in your hands, and gaze deeply into it. realize you are eating that everyday in the same state, as sugar.

1/4/2006 5:44:22 PM

diet coke tastes better than regular coke to me.

1/4/2006 5:46:52 PM

diet is just as bad for you. just drink water.

might as well try to stay alive as long as possible.

1/4/2006 5:50:27 PM

^not really, but since I hate diet, I'm not drinking soda anyways

1/4/2006 5:52:38 PM

explain how its good for you

1/4/2006 5:54:53 PM

1/4/2006 6:05:42 PM

haha no the hell it isn't. it's 0 calories vs like 200 calories. and don't say that the artificial sweetener causes cancer, because it doesn't.

every day this is my daily beverage intake:

about 3x 8oz coffees before lunch.

after lunch about 4 to 6 cans of diet coke.

when I get home I consume usually at least a two liter of diet mt dew, sometimes more.

Before bed, I chug about 32 oz of whole milk. It puts me to sleep easier.

In my spare time I chew raw meat like it was gum and put babies on spikes.

1/4/2006 11:18:17 PM

nigga i aint talkin bout calories or the sweetner and shite. look at the other shit in there. its all artificial shizzle.

i mean, i drink it also, but not all the time. i tend to drink more water.

acid aint good for ya

1/4/2006 11:19:21 PM

I don't understand how people eating that garbage can insult others eating the garbage, both of your mouths are filled with shit.

1/5/2006 12:02:25 AM

Not that I can quote a study to back me up, but I heard somewhere that diet drinks (drinking a lot of it in the long term, anyway) are worse for you than regular drinks. Apparently the aspartame (the artificial sweetener in the diet drinks) gets converted into formaldehyde once it reaches the liver. Needless to say, formaldehyde isn't exactly something healthy to be putting into your body.

But seriously, if you want to drink "healthy," just drink some damn water.

uhhh, no. it's not bad for you.

1/5/2006 1:32:08 AM

it certainly isn't good for you.

Hell yeah!

Haha, I actually have the reverse problem of like... 90% of the people out there. I have to eat to maintain my weight, not eat to keep it off. Shitty fast food helps, but it's not doing a wonderful job 'cause I'm still not up where I want to be as far as my weight goes...

Hippie Bullshit. Youre gullible as shit.

Only read the first post, but yeah..I grew up on diet sodas, because that's what the grocery-buyers in my family would get.


So i developed a taste for diet pepsi-- and everyone looks at me like im insane because im like 95lbs soaking wet (10 of that probably hair) drinking diet drinks.

Taste has LOTS to do w/ the choice.

1/5/2006 12:18:13 PM

i mean, say you eat a fast food meal that has like 1834 calories.


why make it 2034 with a regular soda when it can just be 1834 with a diet soda?

it doesn't make a huge difference, but it does help

ok so why don't you show me some documented evidence that it is bad for you. seriously. what is bad about it? or are you just jumping on the "OMFG IT MUST BE BAD FOR YOU SINCE IT'S ARTIFICIAL" bandwagon?

I think the point is that you're already fucked if you're consuming in one meal more calories than a human being needs all day

since you've already given up on life, you might as well have a yummy non-diet drink

I couldn't have said it better myself. I have always thought low of people who like to criticize people getting a diet coke on a meal.

1/5/2006 1:12:13 PM

^^that's completely false. 200 more calories will make you gain that much more weight, not to mention will cause your blood sugar to spike. diabetics need to drink diet drinks for this reason.

[Edited on January 5, 2006 at 1:13 PM. Reason : ]

1/5/2006 1:12:41 PM

especially when you consider how much more enjoyable the burger and the fries are compared to the drink

if i'm gonna blow 200 calories
its gonna be on some mo' fries plz

1/5/2006 1:16:14 PM

you're missing the point

200 calories is a drop in the bucket if you're eating 3 goddamn cheeseburgers and large fries

it's called diet soda for a reason, it tastes like shit, but that's an acceptable inconvenience if you're on a diet

obviously, if someone is eating like that, they are not on a fucking diet. their weight is probably going up, the food is unhealthy regardless of amount, and they do not give a shit.

1/5/2006 1:21:55 PM

no, you're missing the point

as already admitted by many people in this thread

people do like the taste of diet drinks

me, i get dat hi-c

1/5/2006 1:30:48 PM

well, that's just fucking wierd

1/5/2006 1:32:41 PM

i like to watch the fat people stare at the popcorn when they come into the movies

1/5/2006 1:33:02 PM

I don't like it when people make fun of fat people.

1/5/2006 1:42:16 PM

i think its kind of funny

and im not exactly skinny

but im not a whinny bitch and get over it

1/5/2006 1:43:35 PM

I have no problem with fat people I just ask that they buy two airplane seats when their ass is too large for one.

1/5/2006 2:31:49 PM

this thread makes me want to throw up.
