How much soda do you consume a week?

[SaurusX]

1 can a day. Back in college I had to limit myself to three cans a day, because I would drink it non-stop otherwise. I stopped completely and went sodaless for an entire year after I graudated, but fell off the wagon again. It's still an improvement, but ideally I'd cut it down even more.

I drink 1-2 per day. I don't buy that "just as bad as regular" crap. Been drinking 0 calorie stuff for a decade and I'm not fat. In fact, I'm in pretty damned good shape.

Health is not just about weight. For example, diet soda has been linked to yeast infections...

... just now.

 

[KaOTiK]

Zero. I *might* have soda 2 times a year if that.

I have a tiny glass of juice in the morning, water all day, and a cup of hot green tea at night. That is all I drink.

 

[WilliamM2]

2 sometimes 3 cans a day, and not that diet crap either.

 

[crownjules]

1-2 bottles of cane sugar Coke a week.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Over the last couple years, basically none. I drink an energy drink can every other weekend or so, however (takes me about three days to finish a 16oz).

 

[NutBucket]

Maybe 1-2 cans a week. I drink about 15 ounces of coffee every morning and water the rest of the day. My favorite juice is non-sweetened white grapefruit.

 

[Virgorising]

I consume none.

Every element of all of it....is seriously bad for us. From the carbonation to the chemicals to the artificial everything.

U mean, U only choose the "good stuff' with the chemicals, artificial coloring, refined carbs, no way cane sugar and bubbles?:sneaky:

 

[RedRooster]

I'd love to drink more, but know I'd blow up if I did. So I drink maybe one or two cans a week with lunch.
Those zero calorie water additives are my new gig, although even those I don't overdo.

What a boring life

 

[cyclohexane]

None. That shit will make you fat and diseased.

Water - it's the stuff of life.

 

[Slew Foot]

0. water and milk only.

 

[FeuerFrei]

One or the other of these, daily. :thumbsup:
Only because I have hardcore insomnia.

 

[Svnla]

If I could, I would get at least a 12 oz can or 20 oz bottle a day. Coke is it for me.

I am cutting back, hopefully down to 1 to 2 per week.

 

[Mojoed]

About (3) 2-liter bottles a day :-/

 

[fralexandr]

For the past several years, probably <0.25/week. I can't drink soda anymore it gives me gas.

 

[Engineer]

All of it.

(pop - no soda around here).

 

[Engineer]

About (3) 2-liter bottles a day :-/

Yep, probably me too.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

depends on how much i have in the house. probably a can a day if there's some 12 packs in the house. don't usually drink sodas though.

 

[TridenT]

Quite a bit. Dr. Oz is a quack. He gets a lot of criticism from the scientifically literate crowd. He is terrible.

I drink at least a liter or two a day. Diet only.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Very little. Almost none actually... Club soda doesn't count.

 

[exdeath]

Zero. Stopped Jan '12 when I started working out for first Tough Mudder.

Haven't gone back, shit is disgusting.

 

[Mixolydian]

One a day.

I drink one every morning after work, since it tastes so refreshing.

Monster has glucose in it which I would imagine is better for you than that fructose crap.

You really do metabolize fructose different than glucose, fructose goes to your liver whereas glucose can be metabolized by just about any cell.

Fructose makes your thinking cloudier IMO. When it comes from soda. The 45% or so glucose gives you a small boost in alertness and then you get foggy headed when your metabolism gets bogged down by the fructose.

I feel like fructose from fruit is different because when paired with fiber it absorbs slower. I also feel like sucrose + other complex carbs = diabeetus. Because your insulin levels spike and stay spiked.
