I'm having Mtn Dew right now :^)
*sips*

So drink one you mong. A soda now and then isn't going to kill you.

>>10705925
You gotta cut out refined sugar from your diet in general, not just stop drinking soda.

>>10706057
God wouldn't have invented sugar if people weren't meant to eat it.

>>10706061
Why do people even bother writing stupid shit like this?

>>10706071
i don't know, because it's fucking true?

>>10706113
>because i'm a shitty troll

FTFY

You know nobody here actually believes in god, right?

>>10706061
ask me how I know you're a roastie

>>10706122
He believes in you.

>>10706122
cringe

>>10706133
t. just woke up from a 13 year coma

>>10706122
>he doesn't know 4chan is actually a majority Christian website
Why do you think people on /ck/ love talking about Chick Fila, a Christian owned business, or why /mu/ loves songs about Jesus Christ, or why /pol/ is a majority of republican voters, a heavily Christian party.

>>10705925
>not preferring Baja blast

Shit taste my friend. Either way don't drink any of them or just switch to diet soda and sparkling waters.

>>10706113
If that were true we should also eat literal shit and grass.

>>10706169
Sugar tastes good.
As far as I understand, shit and grass does not.
Congrats, you're the only person here that God doesn't love.

mountain dew has a weird ash aftertaste. dunno how manchildren drink it desu desu

>>10706057
>>10706061
>>10706071
He's not completely wrong. Sugar is sweet and tastes good. Your brain likes it because it is loaded with calories.

>>10706190
You lose the ability to enjoy overly sweet things after puberty. hence manchildren loving mountain dew

>3 months

That is not a while. Come back after 2 years of not consuming ANY high sugar food or drink.

>>10706042
It is you fucking american't.

>>10706190

>>10706201
This. Only children are programmed to respond positively to sugar. After puberty sugar acts on the brain just like any other drug. Trying to drink a Coke or Mountain Dew as an adult is pretty much the same as having someone blow cigarette smoke in your face when you're a non-smoker, and then having them wonder what your problem is.

>>10706243
Ever see women when the dessert comes out?
Are you comparing women to children?

>>10706267
Memes aside, do you know many adults who would enjoy a bowl of table sugar more than a cheesecake? Because a lot of kids would rather eat the sugar.

>>10706226

>sip some cola
>dies

fuck off

As someone who works at a place that sells soda I can tell you that plenty of adults drink that shit. Some drink 2-3 cans a day. And that is only when I am there so its safe to assume they have a few more than that throughout the day.

>>10706201
Holy. Fuck.
You utter nonce.
While it's true that biological changes occur altering the perception of taste as a one ages, the fact that sugars are a vital component of organ function does not. The human brain is literally wired to crave sweet tastes not only because the inner-caveman still thinks it needs the calories to survive through times of famine but also because a fair number of the processes that keep you alive and thinking properly consume sugars.
If you find you can't stand the taste of sweetness, you should no longer consider yourself human.

>>10705925
You are just a weak member of the herd. Improve.

>>10706693
Fine, you've convinced me. I'm better than human.

>>10706384
So they go beyond their daily required intake of sugar? 3 cans sounds bad, if it's daily at least.

>>10705925
Soda is fucking tasty and addictive dude. If I drink it now I need it 5 days in a row, that's just how the shit is. Very addictive.

>>10706288
This is honestly a pretty good point. When I was a little kid I always wanted to try to eat the sugar from the thing on the table at restaurants. Thinking about that now disgusts me.

>>10705925
>yfw the body probably needs at least a year to adjust (at least for ghrelin and other hunger related hormones)

It's been 3 years since I completely stopped drinking anything but water and milk, can't really say anything improved, in fact i have headaches quite often now. Saving money though. Sweets and soda taste disgustingly sweet, nauseating even.

>>10706292
Happened to me.

>>10706693
There is a limit to the amount of sweetness we enjoy though. Kids don't have this because they are still growing. Kids will eat straight table sugar because they don't have this check on sweetness yet.

It's pointless to argue an evolutionary side to it because nothing as sweet as refined sugar occurs in nature. By your logic sucralose should be the most addicting thing on the planet since it is 4,000x sweeter than sugar.

>>10705925
it took me around 5 months before the cravings subsided

>>10708383
also keep going op! dont listen to the people telling you to "just drink one" you will just reset the cravings

>>10706693
Those cravings are for fruits, sweet potatoes and sweet plantains, not oatmeal creampies and mountain dew.

>>10706190
>heroin is nice and feels good, your brain likes it because it jacks up your dopamine to unnatural levels

>>10705925
>he fell for the "muh palate is more refined than yours because I don't eat garbage" meme

It's just a way for smug douches to flex on fatties.

>>10705925
I don't find it disgusting but I definitely don't have as strong a desire to drink it. Granted I've just replaced it for unsweetened Iced Tea (sometimes with a splash of lemonade)...

>>10705974
>>10705925
enjoy your diabettus

>>10705925
why are her intestines falling out?

>>10708475
Fatties pretending to be smug douches trying to flex on fatties

>>10705925
What the fuck is up with this board the last few days? I have seriously not seen this much shitposting in a long, same on /a/

>>10705925
Not gonna say it's "healthy", but it IS HEALTHIER than the high fructose garbage. I am HIGHLY addicted to this stuff, and it is so fucking hard to find! FUCK YOU PEPSI! Stock this shit!

>>10709717
this. Sugars arent the enemy, its high fructose corn syrup. Processed sugars are the devil.

maybe you're just stuck being fat

I don't understand any of you. Sodas just eh in general. Used to like it but it just kinda tastes bad nowadays.

Just drink tea. Shits always good

You're a dopamine slave. Try nofap as well. Eat steak and veg. Remember you are going to die.

I stop drinking soda last year. I still get a ginger ale, or tropical mix sprite once in a while but I really just cant drink pepsi, coca cola, dr. pepper anymore. Something changed and brown soda is just nasty

>>10706155
>Baja Blast

>Not Voltage
Shit taste, friendo.

>>10709736
Amen to that; soda made with actual fucking sugar is good stuff, but it's not as cheap for them to make as with high fructose corn syrup. Using the latter over the former is simply a cost cutting measure.

>>10705925
Soda's good, you just can't drink it every single day.

>>10709697
Summer is nearing, anon.

>>10708382
>By your logic sucralose should be the most addicting thing on the planet since it is 4,000x sweeter than sugar.
Can you even get pure sucralose?

>>10706190
>Sugar is sweet and tastes good. Your brain likes it because it is loaded with calories.
The justification of an addict, everyone.
You could use this logic to defend heroin and cocaine addictions as "healthy" and "natural." God wouldn't have invented cocaine if we weren't all meant to get blitzed and die of heart attacks at age 35.

>>10706693
>sugars are a vital component of organ function
LMAOOO you stupid nigger, your body craves NATURAL FRUIT SUGAR not white, refined table sugar and corn syrup emulsified into edible snack product and bubble drink.

If you want to talk about what's natural, what's basic and what your body needs and craves, then you shouldn't eat anything processed at all, least of all soda. If you crave sugar, then you are fucking ADDICTED.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Not sugar, and not any form of sugar whatsoever. Not grains either.

>>10706288
When I was a kid I tried licking pure table sugar and was disappointed that it didn't taste as sweet as my candy and snack cakes. It was a very mild and balanced sweetness to me. Was absolutely confused how the junk food I ate used sugar but turned out stronger.

>>10713110
Used to be able to get pure sucralose but I think it got banned after being linked with testicular cancer.

I gave up binge-drinking soda 2 years ago. The taste never went sour, however, after time away and then guzzling a can of coke. GUTT ROT. I am happy to stay away for good.

>>10713227
>The justification of an addict, everyone.
Where do you see justification? I see a statement of fact. There are no claims about it being "good" or "justified".

>>You could use this logic to defend heroin and cocaine addictions as "healthy" and "natural."
Not really. Cocaine is not required for survival. Calories are.

>>your body craves NATURAL FRUIT SUGAR not white, refined table sugar and corn syrup emulsified into edible snack product and bubble drink.
Sure. But it also cannot tell the difference between one or the other.

>>10713357
I'm sure it's available from any of the big lab chemical supply houses like Sigma. It might be banned for sale to the public, but it will be available to bona fide researchers. Given that you can buy things like botox, high explosives, crazy dangerous poisons, pure nicotine, etc, I see no reason why you couldn't' buy sucralose either.
