You know...Coca Cola...isn't that bad if you look at the ingredients

[Reg]

420kCal is a meal? At 3 meals a day that makes 1260 calories, which is starvation.

1260 from meals, then include any snacking between and beverages consumed. Pretty average and no where near starvation.

[Ineras]

There's not a whole lot of evidence that it's any better or worse than sugar.

And 1 liter is a whole meal? Not for me.. I eat about 2000-3000 calories per meal.. o.O

Do you have a very active lifestyle? Cause that is pretty much my recommended daily limit if I want to maintain my weight....

[Led ++]

So because there's other shit that's worse, Cola isn't .. that .. bad?

Mindboggling way of thinking.

[Rukentuts]

Do you have a very active lifestyle? Cause that is pretty much my recommended daily limit if I want to maintain my weight....

3000 per meal is beyond active. It's almost even beyond athlete.

For comparison, when I do my 165 mile bike rides I only burn about 5000 kCal.

Indeed, that's why I asked in case they were doing some weird training for something.

You'd have to be like Michael Phelps to need that much.

[Purlina]

I can eat 3,000 calories for the entire day and still gain weight.

How is he eating that much in 1 meal?

I don't understand the point of this thread, while we are all aware that coke is as healthy as eating candies I've never heard anyone saying it's the root of all evil or anything like that.


Anyway, In Germany they have vanilla coke (a little harder to find but they have it in the Netherlands too), I love it. Every time I go there I have to get some ^_^

Aww, I miss vanilla coke; they stopped making it where I live.

Sugar is not good for you. At all.

It is to an extent. But the amount in things like candy or sodas is far too high.

~3500 calories is 1 lb. of body fat. Eating 8-9k a day is like eating 2.5 lbs. / 1.15 kg of body fat.

Yuck.

LOL, what a thread. Coke is bad but not as bad as some.

Yeh a pistols not as big as a shotgun, both equally dangerous.

Coke still falls under the category of syrupy, sugar filled and carbonated drinks. Just because it has "less" ingredients or has lower sugar/caffeine/etc than other cheaper/equivelant brands does nothing to detract from this.

[poser765]

Soda is the number one source of added calories in people's diets, plain and simple.

If you drink soda on a regular basis, just try replacing every soda you drink with water instead and I guarantee you that you'll lose a noticeable amount of weight within a couple months.

Doesn't even have to be water. I simply switched from water to diet soda and I've lost about 20 pounds in the last month and a half.

Yes, the concept is very simple really.

Why are you having trouble with this statement. It is not as bad in comparison to some other sodas and drinks.
It is still bad but in comparison it is lesser.

Really, nothing hard at all.

So what's the point of the thread again?

Diet soda?

I rather drink water...

Nothing. This entire discussion is pointless to an extent.

Except perhaps the whole HFCS vs sugar thing.

that is beyond moot, like there is no significant difference between the two.

[Bananarepublic]

that is beyond moot, like there is no significant difference between the two.

I know multiple people have said that, but what about the researches which prove different? Of course the tests were performed on rats, but still, they did become obese rats.

[Haftepaff]

Sugar is not good for you. At all.

Incorrect, small amount of sugar each day is healthy.

If i remember correctly then there's more than one type of sugar which is more healthy than the other. Still i can be wrong, it was a few years ago i since i studied home economics after all.
