Soda 16-20 ounce bottles of not available
| 
Oct 28 03:35 UTC 2003 |
Busch's grocery no longer sells 16 or 20 ounce bottles of soda pop.
They said it was the distributor's choice. They started selling 24
ounce Pepsi's this summer. I switched to Coke. Now Coke has followed
suit.
The next lowest size in 12 ounces in cans--but not bottles.
Does Kroger's or any other grocery store sell 16 ounce bottles? Is this
just local to the Arbor/Ypsi area or statewide?

I have noticed that some distributers are carrying 8oz cans. I like
that because that is about as much pop as I will drink these days. I
found those at Target. 24oz is just too much. Sheesh.

I figured the 8 oz. cans were a Halloween thing.

They are. And it's annoying that the'y more expensive than the bigger size.
I like less pop since I am trying to cut the habit waaaay down.

For a brief period of time the Meijer gas station was selling 20 oz.
cans of Coke. They were the same diameter as a 12-oz. can, but taller.

I've switched to plain carbonated water. Get the fizz without the sugar.

(I have a seltzer bottle, so I make my own carbonated water. Not sure how
that works for sodium, but it shouldn't be any more than the tap water I start
with. May not be carbonated, just fizzy.)

Hospital offers all its patients 8 oz cans of soda at lunch and dinner. I
was amazed at the number of sick people drinking soda. Juice was allowed only
at breakfast.

I wonder if it's mainly the sugar or the carbonic acid in soda that's
bad for teeth? If it's the acid, I'd expect carbonated water to be just
as bad.

I discussed this with my dentist just a couple of days ago (same time
I asked him about the lemon juice; see the lemon juice item). He told
me it's the sugar that's bad for your teeth.
He also said he's read that the carbonation is bad for your bones. He
said there are a lot of teenagers getting broken bones these days
because they have weak bones from drinking too many carbonated
beverages.
A month or so ago, my son's dentist told my son, and his mother and I,
that his current pet peeve is carbonated beverages because he's
convinced they're bad for the teeth. We didn't discuss it in more
detail at the time.
I discussed all of this with my son a few days ago. We made a pact
for the two of us to cut down on carbonated beverages. We're both
going to miss them, but we will get by somehow.

Are carbonated beverages supposed to be bad for the bones, in his opinion,
because of some inherent property or is it because they're likely to
replace calcium-rich milk as the beverage of choice?

Carbonation alone shouldn't be bad for you. After all, you breath out CO2.
However most carbonated beverages contain sugar, which can lead to tooth
decay. The acidity of carbonated water is weak, and certainly much less
acid than stomach fluids.

I think TS meant that the combination of all four is bad.
I will confess to being a caffeine addict. Coffee, with minimal additives.

Re #16: Most experts seem to feel there's nothing inherent in carbonated
beverages that hurts bones, it's just that they replace other beverages
that *help*. Most people simply don't get enough calcium.

My dentist didn't say why carbonated beverages were bad for bones, just
that he'd read that teenagers are getting more broken bones and that
this was attributed to carbonated beverages. When I see my son's
pediatrician next, I may ask for more information on the topic.
re resp:23: John goes to Dr. Rizzo, but he doesn't have evening hours
and so it's not practical for me to go to him as well.
