pop unhealthy?

Ok I was wondering someone told me if i keep drinking a half gallon/2 liter of diet pepsi everyday it will eventually kill me is this true?

 

That alone won't kill you, but looking at your size already, if you keep drinking that much and lack of exercise will bring you to the grave.

 

Yes, you'll pretty much be digging up your own grave that way.

 

there is a lot of research behind the effects of aspartame (sp) but I have yet to find anything proven in humans. Diet pop has caffeine in it which raises your metabolic rate (not just heart rate as more blood = more action) Which in term IS a bad thing, especially if you're under 20.

Aspartame has caused seizures and brain tumours in lab animals and thats why it took so long for them to release this DRUG. Yes it is a drug and yes it is mildly addictive. It contains like 10% methanol which is what you get from making bad moonshine, and it's poisonous.

heres more info if you want to read up on it. There is nothing wrong with sugar in small amounts or even larger amounts if you're very active. I myself get around 6000 calories a day and have no trouble keeping my weight down.

Why give your body something it doesn't need? especially when it tastes like garbage. The average American consumes like 80 pounds of sugar per year and just because something says diet doesn't mean it's any better for you. All most of these products do is substitute one type of fat for another, or in the case of aspartame put a more deadly substance in to replace the previous.

Basically don't consume more than you need but at the same time theres no point in avoiding good foods. I don't get all my calories from eating healthy but I use them. Your body is like an engine so think of normal petrol as basic foods and premium as healthy wheat crap. Now when you add in the nos and all that other stuff your car may run faster but at what expense? It's been proven that a car that is overstressed will break down faster and cost you more to repair.

It probably won't kill you, but it definitely won't help you unless your goal is to be fat. Soda is just empty calories.

 

Maybe not kill you but diabetes could. I'd suggest not trying it out though

 

the fact u even drink that shit is not good for you

 

you don't get diabetes from sugar. I suggest you find out how it's caused first.

 

Some people think aspartame and some of the ingredients you find in the stuff can be quite bad for you, though there are no proven causal links. I don't recommend downing tonnes of the stuff though, since it might help you on the way to the grave. You'd definitely be better off with water.

Are you sure about that? 6000 is like a kilo of butter.

 

Not entirely true.
There are many ways to obtain diabetes. The most common - lack of insulin in the body. However, another way is by being obese. Now, how does one become obese - by eating and drinking shit thats not good for you. Most of the shit that isn't good for you contain massive amounts of sugar. So, no sugar is not the primary cause of diabetes, but if you wanted to be technical about it, your wrong.

 

You better be working out a lot....

 

not really, but the C02 gets in your blood stream lessing your blood O2 concentration, also the artificial sugar has it's own health problems, all in all you should just drink water, coffee, and tea

I eat about 9,000-8,500 cals a day but I could lose 10lb in a week

 

Well as I am drinking my Ozarka water I read this thread on the label.

A typical 12 oz. soda = 140+ calories. Water = 0 calories. Replacing just one soda a day with water can trim 50,000+ calories a year from your diet. BE HEALTHY

 

Amen!
Man, we agree on a lot of stuff lol.
Water owns all other drinks, it quenches your thirst instead of making you more thirsty, and it has no calories. What else can you ask for?

 

I used to drink around 2 litres of pop a day, but i changed to bottled water, And i don't know why but i just feel better. I advise you do the same

 

Look at the ingredients then think again

 

Depending on your current condition, you could go into a coma.

 

Diet soda has 0 calories... it isn't going to change your weight. However usually when you drink something with aspartame in it, it makes you want to eat. That's how you get fat from it.

 

Yes. Drinking 2 litres of soft drink a day will eventually lead to you dying.


So will everything else.

 

I need to learn to have will power but for some reason I can't stop
