Hi, >octor <lu here.. new to the Grex scene...
Well as for Coke, tried some lately. Did fine, but I have a iron
stomach. In truth, like most from Texas, I drink Dr. Pepper and lately
Mountain Dew Livewire. ;)

I agree with #11 - bad for teeth, makes people fat.

i'm coming down from a dr pepper addiction; i've mostly switched to cherry
coke. less weird aftertaste, i think. (i'm not texan, but my mother's
collaborator who introduced me to it is.)

sugared pop is nasty, and Dr Pepper is the worst. I think pop is the
only "bad-for-you-food" that I don't imbibe. Small mercies.

As a long-time Mt Dew drinker, I tried the livewire stuff as soon as it came
out. As far as I'm concerned, it's exactly the same as every other orange
soda that Pepsi has produced. In a blind taste test between that and, say,
orange slice, I don't think I could tell the difference.

I almost never drink pop with sugar and yet I'm still fat. It must be
the cheesecake ;)

Sugared pop by itself will not make you fat unless you drink a hell of a lot
of it. It is everything you eat and drink plus lifestyle, i.e. are you active
or not, that makes you fat. I am getting damned sick and tired of people
blaming one thing or another of causing overweight. It is everything
together, not just one thing. If I just cut out the Pepsi I drink I will not
loose weight unless I also cut out or down on the junk food, butter, etc. and
I start exercising more.

Depends on your definition of fat, but I've known a lot of people that
will stop drinking sugary drinks and drop 20 lbs fairly quickly.

It would depend on how much you were drinking in the first place. If
you wree drinking about one can a day, and stopped, I doubt you'd
notice a difference. However, if you were drinking say 10 cans a day,
and stopped, I'm pretty sure there would be a noticable drop in weight.

yes furs! lots of people i know who are overweight drink alot of mountain dew.
a good friend of mine was lamenting her weight last night as she sipped on
a dew. alot of people are choosing low carb diets these days, but which ever
healthy diet you do choose, i guarentee sugary pop isnt on it. straight
refined sugar being poured into your body causes a huge insulin response. it
just isnt good for you. sorry brooke, i gotta stay on my soap box. i love pop.
and i realize that if i want to keep my body health and desease free, as much
as i can do so within my own power, that drinking that shit is something i
just can not do! if im gonna splurge on some junk, id much rather have the
cheesecake or chocolate than waste the sugar and calories on a soda, no to
mention usually one orders the soda along with the cheesecake.
its bad bad stuff.

Right. That's why I prefer beer to pop these days. :)

I agree that soda is not the healthiest thing - even when I'm drinking
caffeine free diet soda, I have twinges of guilt, as it's not water. But it
is everything combined too.
As for being disease free, I stopped being so fascinated with good diet =
"disease free" when Linda McCartney died of breast cancer.

depending on cash on hand, i drink btwn 1-4 (20 oz) bottles of pop a day,
usually Cherry Coke or Dr Pepper. As pretty much anyone who's met me can tell
you, I am not fat.
I walk the 30-45 minutes (one-way) to campus from home and back each day.
Even when I took the bus to WCC, there was still the walk to and from the bus
stops. . . . Giving up motorised transportation, esp. cars, will do a lot more
for your weight than giving up pop will.

you know, people get sick. sometimes really healthy people get cancer.
sometimes its just in the gene's. but i believe anything you can do to lesson
your odds of getting a desease is worthwhile. and lets talk diabetics....you
can give yourself this desease just by being overweight and eating a bunch
of crap.

I hope we bring back something like item ate from the Spring Agora--
because it helped me a little to journal what I was eating. One of my
doctors said exercising really was good, but managing weight would be
very difficult if I didn't watch what I ate.
*chuckle* Brings back memories of discussions of oatmeal and stuff.
Yeah, drinking soda, I'm sure, doesn't help. But I'm sure eating out
doesn't help either. Most restaurant food seems just loaded with
calories-- and not all of it nutrient-rich. I'll admit it's hard
sometimes because I am lazy, sometimes in a rush, and fail to plan
meals. But I'm sure it will be worth it. Good food, in my
experience, makes me feel better.

I don't know that my Mountain Dew habit has been the worst part of my diet,
but I dislike being that dependent on caffeine and sugar in solution, so I've
tried to cut back as much as possible. The caffeine total is lower than
coffee, and I don't really take much sugar anywhere else in my diet, so I
guess I do alright.
What the sugar does to my teeth is probably my largest concern.
