They're not bad for you as long as you dont drink them everyday.....ya know? like a few times/once a week.

(bonus discussion. favorite soft drink. Mine is cream soda and vanilla coke)

don't usually drink pop, but my favorite is RC Cola

Sugar in general ain't the best for you though. There's no daily reccommended ideal amount or intake to have. And if there was, those cans would be packing too much. Off topic, you ever check and see how much salt they put in things?

actually yea. i usually drink a lot of water before/after.

That is true, but after I stopped drinking it all the time I stopped liking the taste

Soft drinks are more of a treat than a regular thing for me. Lilt is the best though.

I think having more than 1 a week is already pushing it.

fetuses are an acquired taste

so I am told

Cheerwine op.

I drink dr pepper and coke, but I guess I balance it out with not eating too much junk food.

Dr. Pepper is nasty af tbh fam.

I had a Dr Pepper a few days ago, I felt ill

I cut energy drinks and soda out of my diet a while ago.  Made a pretty big difference.

But Dr Pepper isn't so bad.  Having soda for the first time in a while is really weird, though.

Sugar isn't bad for you as long as it's the right kind of sugar and you're not consuming too much. Your brain also uses carbs/sugar as it's primary source of fuel, so it's wrong to say that you shouldn't be eating any sugar at all.

The sugar in soft drinks is fructose, which is processed by the liver instead of the brain, which means that you can drink a ton of soda without realizing that you've over-consumed. The sugar found in fruit is a combination of fructose and glucose, along with fiber. This means your brain will tell you when you've had enough sugar, and the fiber in the fruit will slow down the release of sugar into your system.

Sugar is added to a lot of things, not just drinks. That's why it's important to be eating real unprocessed foods as much as possible.

What counts as real and unprocessed?

Haven't had a soda in about 7 years.

But when I used to drink it, Dr. Pepper was my shit.

I will occassionally drink a Mountain Dew, but it's not that often. I do enjoy energy drinks, but I've been on a V8 +energy drink kick recently.

The orange and red ones or the ones that come in six packs?

They're absolutely terrible for me. Like to the point of being in pain for hours.

Have you been able to make any progress with your leaky gut condition?

No not really, and it's a lot more than that. Whatever it is has given me hepatitis (not A,B, or C).
