How much pop do you drink?

[ScottyK]

this is my problem with snopes - some unqualified web-hack spends 10 minutes googling and comes up with a conclusion which contradicts all the peer-reviewed research on the subject.

OK -- so where is your peer reviewed research that says drinking a Coke will dehydrate you?

Did a quick Google of the doctor that snopes quoted -- Ann Grandjean.

Here is a link.

I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with to refute her research.

I live right on a borderline between pop and soda... The town I live in is on a county line...

Anyway I just call it coke because that is the only kind of soda pop I drink. 

Normally 2+ a day.

At night I normally have a cup of tea or two, however.

I live in Texas, so we dont drink "pop" we drink "coke"

Let me give you an example;

burger king employee:  sir, would you like a coke

customer: yes please

burger king employee: what kind of coke do you want

customer:  a sprite...

 

you're right.

I was referring to snopes' conclusion that soft drinks are harmless, when consuming very acidic, sugary drinks is known to increase tooth decay. its like concluding that because grizzly bears dont have the dexterity or training to use assault rifles they are therefore harmless.

Dr Grandjeans conclusions are interesting wrt correct levels of fluid intake. her subjects consumed on average 1745ml of fluid per day and experenced weight loss consistent with dehydration, she concludes that this intake may not be sufficient. 8 glasses a day is 1890ml, suggesting that 8 glasses is indeed about right, and may not even be enough.

Thanks, you provided peer-reviewed research which "debunks" a snopes "debunking"

Now you are bouncing all over the place.  Try to stay focussed on the issue at hand.  Tooth decay was not an issue we discussed.

The issue being debunked is not that you need 1890ml of fluid a day.  The issue being debunked is that the caffiene in soft drinks dehydrates you and are therefore bad for your health.

Conclusions: This preliminary study found no significant differences in the effect of various combinations of beverages on hydration status of healthy adult males. Advising people to disregard caffeinated beverages as part of the daily fluid intake is not substantiated by the results of this study.

So, congratulations on your attempt to deflect and change the subject rather than admit you are wrong.  Please try harder next time.  Thank you.

excuse me for bouncing around but you posted 3 separate snopes links.

"the caffiene in soft drinks dehydrates you and are therefore bad for your health" is from your posted link, not something I have suggested. (although I did use the conversion to show the daily intake from only drinking classic coke, compared to only drinking water, which applies to regular water drinkers. please feel free to adjust the amounts down by 33% for regular coke drinkers, the point still stands.)

This is a bad question for me to answer being I work for Coca Cola.   I thought it out 1 day and it was about a gallon of soda a day.  lol

I drink 750 cans a year conservatively, and I'm 5'10" around 130 lbs.

[FYB]

I haven't even tasted soda in 2 years. 

Sure as hell you're all going to die from a hear attack!

I drink approximately 1 825 cans of soft drink per year.

I'm 6'0" around 178 lbs.

At the moment, no excercise at all. I walk to class, walk around a bit and lift a few slabs at work and have sex... that's it.

I eat absolute rubbish.... such utter garbage.

I smoke and I drink.

Youth FTW!

Easter is always a crappy part of the year when studying full-time so I just don't have the engergy to do anything after I've done all of my work...got home from work... etc. In a week or so the punishment begins. Food boot camp, excercise boot camp.

Like I said in my OP, I drink around 2,500 cans a year, I tend to go through 2 24 cases a week, & I'm 6'3" about 150lb.  Actually If you think about it 555 a year isn't all that much, thats about 10 cans a week or about 1.5 cans a day.

This is funny. Five pages later I made the same observation about N. Carolina. Must be a southern thing.
