Soft Drinks like Coke and Pepsi are the #1 Cause of Obesity, followed closely by Specialty Coffee Drinks laced with (soy) Milk and Sugar/Corn Syrup.
And the diet versions as well as most sugar substitutes play games with your body's perception of sugar intake, triggering much of the same reaction from taking the sugar itself - encouraging the production of body fat and hunger pangs.
i've always thought that about the fake sugars. i just checked, there's a small study showing increased blood sugar due to gut bacteria metabolizing the fake sugars.
just no getting away from it. sodas are just bad. i bet there's a correlation with a wide range of health issues arising from soda intake from childhood. soda was everywhere growing up and tooth decay was the only concern, but i bet everything from obesity to gender dysphoria to adhd can be connected. people who drink a lot of soda tend to have issues.
but i gotta say, i get a lot of shit done when i have soda. much moreso than coffee.
Good place to put out a reminder that:
