Where were you when you realised that soda is poison?

Solonoid · December 16, 2015, 09:58:15 PM

I was sitting on a park bench right now, drinking a can of Dr. Pepper, and I suddenly realized,

'This shit is poison'

And I threw it away.
I'll never drink soda again.

I blame the Jews.

Dr. Pepper is a Jewish drink.

Is it even a cola?

The aluminum cans ain't too good for your health either, alongside the soooooooda.

Prolly around tenth grade when I learned about the evils of calories.

Verbatim · December 16, 2015, 10:10:35 PM

Like, years and years ago. I only stopped drinking the stuff two years ago, though.

Kiwicake · December 16, 2015, 10:11:22 PM

I still drink the stuff even though I know it's absolutely awful for you

i haven't and will never

Did you know that soda truck drivers need a special license because if their truck tips over, the soda heavily corrodes the pavement

Jet Wave · December 16, 2015, 10:34:03 PM

If I take it in small enough doses, I can build up a resistance to it.

Assassin 11D7 · December 16, 2015, 11:09:55 PM

It's not a poison, it's an acid.

Sorry slick. Ingesting metal into your body isn't a good thing. Aluminum has a habit of leeching into things. Aluminum has a very, very long, long list of health issues it can pose. Aluminum has no usage in our bodies whatsoever, which means that any aluminum we ingest stays there and collects over time.

And, surprise surprise, you can both be poisoned by too much aluminum in your body, much like lead poisoning, and there's even some folks who are allergic to it. Aluminum, in fact, is quite toxic. There was a big hubub about it a while back.

You can thank lobbyists for keeping it mostly under wraps and out of the way of big time scrutiny.

Except aluminum is inert and therefore resistant to most acidic corrosion, thusly being unaffected by the corrosive properties of soda.

The only way you ingest aluminum through a can is if you burn it, which potheads often do, as cans make great makeshift pipes.

And it is in fact very different from lead poisoning, as it is carcinogenic in nature, and will sooner cause cancer than liver failure.

It's also neurotoxic with mounting evidence and studies that link it to fun things like altzheimers and dementia. You don't quite get so much aluminum from cans, but you get a hell of a lot of it from cookware these days.

A while ago I stopped drinking soda. No other real dietary changes.

Then I gained weight. Explain that one, faggot.

I usually just drink Sprite or A&W nowadays, before I drank all types of soda.

Super Irish · December 17, 2015, 07:42:55 AM

I was always told it was unhealthy because of the sugars.

I occasionally get some though, usually witj something else unhealthy because things like curry chips don't go with orange juice...
