I was always told to not drink a lot of fizzy drinks( coca cola, fanta, 7Up)

So i come to you guys to tell me why i shouldn't
what effects fizzy drinks have on my throat/voice box/whatever it effects.
 
All i know is that they reduce your appetite

>> No.3953737

>> No.3953748

carbonated drinks shouldn't hurt you

it's the obscene amount of sugar in soda that does

>> No.3953749

it's the sugar/high-fructose-corn-syrup/aspartame/sucralose/artificial sweetener. Fizzy or flat, all that's going ot do is make you fat or give you diabetes or mess with your pancreas or liver in other ways.

Everything in moderation: soft drinks are a "sometimes food"

The fizz doesn't harm you. It can actually help an upset stomach. I would just stay away from too much sugar unless you're really active. However, even if you're active I would recommend skipping on all things unnatural (i.e. High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Aspartame, etc.).

For example, I drink natural sodas (i.e. Hansen's, Sierra Mist, Throwback Pepsi/Mountain Dew) from time to time, I always drink soda water (2-3 cans or bottles a day), and I never drink soda-pop (anything with HFCS, so basically most soda in stores and any fountain drinks I have found so far).

>> No.3953843

>>3953811

If I had to choose between aspartame and sucralose as artificial sweeteners, I would go for aspartame b/c at least the body has the biochemical machinery to break it down properly. Even so, the aspartame sometimes comes with acesulfame to stabilize it, & not sure how the body deals with that. (Maybe it's fine, don't know for sure...)

ASPARTAME FUCKING INERT. IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED FOR FUCKING DECADES. NOT ONE RAT KILLED.

WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK AND BREATHING DILUTE CAR EXHAUST POSES A GREATER HEATLH THREAT THAN FUCKING APSARTAME.

I drink a lot of sparkling water (the kind that doesn't contain sugar or artificial sweeteners). Like maybe 1-2 cans per day. I worry that I'm getting too much CO2. Is that a valid fear?

>> No.3953859

>>3953846
Zero calorie sweeteners are dangerous because they can make you fat. They do this by removing your bodies ability to put a calorie value on food based on its sweetness, and therefore know when it's full. If you consume aspartame too much, or any other zero calorie sweetener you are at higher risk for gaining weight.

you're like one of those people who think gurgling h2o2 or chewing gum will somehow increase the oxygen content in your blood

>> No.3953963

>>3953939
The diffusivity of CO2 in water is much higher than in air. So, when you drink carbonated beverages, the CO2 gets diffusiviated into your blood much faster.

Think of the lungs as a steady state reactor. Oxygen and CO2 are at balance, and everything's fine in your body. Add some CO2 from an external source and you got problems.

Im surprised no one has mentioned the amount of acids used in sodas.

Yeah sugars'r'bad. But the acid they use in many sodas is really strong. It destoyes all kinds of tissue.

The stomach is ore acidic than soda. I'm sure you'd be fine. I can't see it hurting your esophagus or mouth very much. I hope you don't drink alkaline water or go on an alkaline foods diet.

>> No.3953980

>>3953963
The human body does an amazing job of regulating total dissolved CO2 in the blood within a very, very narrow range. You cannot perturb it by drinking carbonated water unless breathing is stopped or the CO2 in the air is greater than a few percent, in which case you'd be in too much trouble to be drinking delicious carbonated beverages...

Solution to corrosive soda. Rinse out your mouth with spit, water, brush your teeth, whatever.

Also some people seem naturally more susceptible to cavities and such. I've drank pop and shitty drinks my entire life and never had a cavity or was in danger of getting one. My enamel is fine too.
