Well the whole point is that Wiki Answers is not reliable...

p.s. see? I dunno have problems perceiving reality :D

Only difference is the disproportionate number of people dying on the other side of the argument.

why is it sick to drink that many cans of coke per day ? - i work 12 hr shifts and work outdoors so getting cans from local shop to quench my thirst is the easy option.

Even I agree... I love soft drinks but.... I am very active and I have very good hygiene. I drink a good amount (almost 2 liters a day). I've tried to quit drinking them but I hate the diet drinks... I tried the "zero" drinks and honestly, they a better than diet but still aren't the same. Soft drinks are bad for you. If you are not using proper dental hygiene and exercise the soft drinks will get the best of you (causing obesity and dental problems..) No matter what you do, drink plently of water every day....

God I love Dr Pepper. I've made myself a promise to cut back on it though.

As a pack a day smoker who recently shot up to a two pack a day smoker due to now attending school and staying up later...well I'm screwed. I also go through a two-liter of Pepsi a day at home plus at least four 24 ounce bottles at school. Somehow my teeth still look fine though, only problems in that area are the fact that I need some wisdom teeth pulled. I'm having that done over winter break...it's going to be a wonderful Christmas :rolleyes:

I also eat a lot of pork which I also hear is bad for you. In fact I bet about 80% of the food my family eats everyday is "bad" for us. But hey we live in the south...one of the few places where begin a little fat is considered begin healthy. You know what I think? I think if most people went back to having to grow their own food and catch/raise their own meat we'd all be better off for it.

I knew I was digging myself an early grave years ago. I don't even want to think about all the ways I've abused my body over the years...drugs (and nearly ODing more than once)...questionable women....my "need for speed" which almost got me killed plenty of times. I'm thankful I've slowed down a little, otherwise I probably wouldn't be around today.

Point is; Do whatever the hell you want. Just make sure that you're taking care of yourself and your responsibilities in the process. :p

The key really is being responsible with your health. There's no way to weed out everything that could possible be bad for you. Even home grown food bears the possibility of being contaminated by the ground it's grown in, so there's no fool proof method of eating 100% healthy. You just have to make good choices and not overdo any one thing.

Agreed. Most of you are not in the same position as I am. We've been working our land for years and I'll be the first to tell you that it isn't easy..for example the damn state was spraying god knows what kind of chemicals just last month on the outskirts of our farm. For all I know they could using some type of population control on us. ;)

I still trust the stuff we grow ourselves over what I buy in the store any day of the week though!

I drink DP frecuently and my mood hassen't change. lol.:D

I can imagine that sometimes even the stuff you have to put on the fields might make you think twice about it every now and again. I'm guessing you have to rely on pesticides and things like that from third party sources. (Unless you make your own. I would know. I'm a city boy. :p)

You are all whack! Real men don't drink soda. THEY DRINK MOTOR OIL!

Really dead men, anyway.

I wont consider dr pepper, since Red Bull cola was released. Quite a kick in the ass.

Crap should I go shave my head now too? I can do scank if I'm forced too. LOL

I will never give up my Pepper no matter how many people hate me. LOL

What a silly message

About 6-7 bottles of water a day for me. I occasionally drink one can of coke, but unless it's water based (tea/coffee), it is strictly water for me.

I keep myself on a pretty constant caloric intake (1800 calories a day) so diet drinks are one less thing to have to track. A 20 oz. bottle of Coke has 60 grams of carbs, and I limit myself to 180. That's a third of my days carbs without having any real food, on just one bottle. Diet drinks normally have zero carbs. Plus my dad's diabetic so I grew up around Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Lately I've been drinking more Crystal Light, good stuff and no calories. I recommend the peach tea.

Water is the best.
For me from the tap.

When at work, its not really an option (between tap or bottle). ;)
