It violates so many basic rules of good health. Carbonation and acid bad for teeth. 40 grams of the worst type sugar per can. 140 totally empty calories. If youre thirsty, drink WATER.

I had a buddy who drank 1-2 GALLONS of soda per day and was constantly plagued by "mystery" health issues of all sorts. Mental health, IBD, renal disease, general malaise. He'd always ask me what the problem could be, "but don't get on me about the soda, what else?" "bro its not the soda, I stopped drinking it for a week and nothing got better. I actually felt worse!"

I never understood why carbonation is bad for you?

It is the high fructose corn syrup, sugar and calories that make this shit terrible.

Think champagne. The bubbles are a quick delivery medium for the alcohol. In soda, just replace alcohol with HFCS, and just like that your body is insulin drunk & flooded with cortisol.

Why are the bubbles a quick delivery medium? What is the science behind that?
