Never heard the word Pop used to describe soda up here in the north.


Whenever I hear someone use the word pop to describe soda I picture Cletus from the Simpsons or some really old southerner sitting on his front porch whittling

Pop it is in Minnesota. When I lived down south, everything was Coke regardless of what it was, even non-colas. That was not right.

<< I never drink it!First,it taste sh*t and secondly experiments show lightsodas can give you braindamages.They have tested it on rats and found that kind of damages....I dont wanna make panic but this is just what I heard and as a warning.... >>

What experiments? Can you give us a reference to a scientific study in a peer-reviewed journal? How recent? Do you have any follow-up study references? There is a lot of "junk science" floating around. Be careful of the validity of your sources.

Sorry,haven`t got a link to that study.I heard it on the news and since I think diet coke taste like poison I remembered it.You are right about that many studies are dubious but I think they have a piont there.Every time you try to make natural things better bye copy them it will be a bad copy.I just wanted to hightlight the fact,dietcoke isnt good for you.

<< >never heard of "coke light">>
ok,well It is coca cola without sugar they use something else to make it sweet.Pepsi does the same thing,
I think it taste dirt and it might cause braindamages some research on rats show.. >>



ugh..ok. if i gave you a pack of caffine pills to swallow..you'd die. the only time the rats were damaged was when they gave them enourmous amounts. basic rule.. enourmous amounts of sh*t f*cks you up. 'm not sure what the equiv for humans would be, but i doubt you could physically drink enough. diet coke has almost no calories, doesn't rot my teeth as bad as normal coke, and doesn't give me that icky after feeling. i got used to it.. its all i drink now.

ok,but if you drink it for a very long time it might give you ´troubles who knows.I drink too much coke and it isnt good for my teeth but I think candies are worse:)This is about the same problem as with cellphones.Are the radiation dangerous?Some people say it could be...
God ,I think I am hypochondriac:=)

<< since I think diet coke taste like poison >>



What do you base that on? Have you done a comparative study on Posion vs. Coke? If not I'd suggest you become a trend setter and start such a study...

First, get a box of rat poison and a spoon...

Pop vs Soda vs Coke

The definitive guide on the subject.

Personally, I think diet anything tastes like crap, so I don't drink it. Also, there is plenty of (rather non-scientific) anectdotal evidence floating around on the web regarding the evils of Nutra-Sweet (aspartame).

I would suggest first doing some research before jumping to conclusions about whether or not chewing gum is safe... :)

I'm suggesting that your opinion of diet soda tasting like poision is invalid unless you try consuming poison first...

in studies calorie restriction increases subjects functioning in all tests and prolongs life. i guess excess calories have the exact opposite effect;)

Aspartame (NUTRASWEET) is nasty poisonous stuff. Avoid at every oppertunity.

How about un-acquiring the taste/need for sweets? Nearly a necessity for a diabetic and avoid exposure to chemical sweetners and unknown side effects.
