Cool Info.

To be honest, I always get a soda. Not always because I want, just for the fact it so convenience. I am out and about most of the day and I am struck with  notion water should be free. Althought -abit unhealthy- and -a tad expensive- compare it to the benefits of sodas to cigarettes. Then,I don't feel bad... and I can breathe easy too.

yeah and cigarettes aren't bad when compared to the negative aspects of taking arsenic... So Cigarettes arent so bad either You can always find somehting WORSE, it don't justify anything though.. .Or else its ok to be an alcoholic as long as your not a crackhead etc. It's kinda funny that your logic is basically "water? that should be free! I wont pay for that when I get get some complex poison for the same price! Its another example of how most of us all value cost savings and price more than health... That's why fast food will never die and people will! Most everyone is guilty of this I admit as most people do the same and drink soda, not just for value, but there is lots of enhancements/drugs in the soda that makes you feel good (high) and water don't have that..

I know how important water is because I am a nurse. I wasn't aware of all the things Coke Cola could do. The only one that I was aware of was the battery! I don't like drinking Coke. I'm more about Pepsi but I don't drink soda too often.

water all day , Now not just coke this counts for all sodas correct?  ouch lol , no wonder i stopped drink soda back in 9th grade

[nssbm117]

I like coke but I rarely drink it.

[mommagoes]

i drink a lot of water, have a huge glass of water next me as i type, but i do like soda. i'll drink a can here and there, usually i go for water. to me, drinking a soda just makes me more thirsty, but water quenches that thirst.

as for the things that coke can do... about 7 years ago i was working as a waitress at this small family-owned restaurant. one day the owner's wife commented on how much soda the waitresse drank and told us how unhealthy it was for our bodies. most of the girls just shrugged and laughed it off but i was interested in what she had to say. she took me and one of the other girls into the walk-in and pulled out a big hunk of meat, if memory serves it was liver, and put it into a shallow dish. then she poured some coke into the dish, about halfway up the side of the meat. she covered it with plastic wrap and and stuck it back in the walk-in. she told us to check on it in 2 days. 2 days later, we went in there and lifted that piece of meat and the underside was almost completely gone. the meat had literally dissolved in the coke. now i know there's always a chance that she went back in there and did something to it, just to put a scare into us girls to get us to drink less soda but either way i have cut down on my soda intake... considerably!

Water is good for you but soda is okay in moderation.

[greeneyedgirl23]

WOW I had no idea... I dont drink coke very often anyways, but I will definatley think twice before I pop the top on a coke. I'll take water, please.

[Azanne07]

actaully i have been pretty with the pop intake of late. I have really cut down the amount i drink. before i probably drank on average 1 can of pop every 2 days now i drink a bottle of pop maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. I am also trying so very hard to increase my water in take. I guess for my weight i really need more like 20 glasses of water a day

[jhbean]
