I drink the juice of life (Diet Coke), that has no calories, and still I need to lose weight. Why, God, why!
Does beer count as a sweet drink?
I dissagree. Spaniards are couch potatoes and they are not fat. It's the diet. (Well Mediterranean diet is also dissapearing too).
Thanks God, I belong to the "old generation" of Spaniards (I'm 34) and I don't like sodas.
Please send me your address so that when I need a transfusion, they'll know where a compatible donor is!
Limit soda drinking to Seltzer and/or Club soda. Problem solved!
One of the things I like about Diet Coke is that if I ever need a transfusiion, they can just shake a can up & connect it to an IV...it will provide the pressure and there is none of that "Type A+" stuff to worry about!
I drink a good bit of bottled water. I confess to drinking diet sodas. My busy schedule and lack of sleep make caffiene very tempting. I rarely drink a regular soda. I am trying my best to drink mostly water.
Well, diet is certainly a factor. If you burn 5000 calories a day and intake 10,000, the exercise wouldn't prevent weight gain.
No, it shouldn't be banned because you are allergic to it. The rest of the world shouldn't have to comply with your allergy requirements.
It isn't just me that has a problem with it. It's kind of funny that the rapid rise in obesity and type two diabetes correlates with the time that hfcs was added into everything. The rest of the world would be better off if this fake food was taken off the market. The same thing goes for partially hydrogenated trans fats.
I know it won't get banned it doesn't mean I wish that it would be. The rest of the world is starting to get a lot fatter too. I wonder why?

Believe it.
There's 13.75 kcal per oz. of Pepsi (Coke is slightly lower). Drinking three of those 20oz bottles a day (very possible) yields 825 kcal.
That's about half of the base metabolic rate (BMR) for most women and well over a third of a man's BMR.
Check your local supermarket. Coke is coming out with a new product "Coca Cola Zero" by the end of the month.
I saw it, the splendia diet coke is close to the foreign stuff, but not quite there.
What amazes me is that I have been to most every corner of the world, and Fanta is everywhere, but not in the USA!
Most people I know who drink that much soda drink the diet version. Zero calories.
Some people are just lazy....
To Who ???? It just goes to show that Fitness Coaches, and NOT these moronic eggheads should be helping to make Policy.
