So you have a 2.4 gallon bladder ?

The acid isn't too great for your teeth and it will eventually wear on your kidneys as well. If you drink soda (I think the Splenda alternatives are the way to go), drink them sparingly.

PepsiOne isn't bad....tasting.

Yeah, I've never had any cavities or anything because I take real good care of my teeth, but I figured something in my... tract... might not like it. I used to drink like 2 litres of water a day but I haven't done that for almost a year. I guess I just got to switch back over.

Man how the **** do you drink so much liquid to begin with? Drinking water becomes tough for me because I eat a lot of bread stuffs, and as we know that shit expands and causes bloating.

Usually if I drink a can of soda, I shotgun 80% of it, then drink the rest right away. If I gotta take a leak, I don't hold it (if I can help it), and since I was here at home yesterday, it was easy to empty out and then refill.

Plus, I just get thirsty. I drank almost 6 liters of water last night too, heh. Only got one pepsi left, which I guess I will have with breakfast.

So I *was* going to tell you that pop causes esophageal cancer (or has been linked to it), however, it looks like that's been debunked. I suppose it's only fair I link to the article that states that as well, so here you go:

Soda pop link to esophageal cancer debunked

Last Updated: 2006-01-03 16:00:42 -0400 (Reuters Health)

By Anne Harding

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study shows that carbonated beverages don't increase the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus.

In fact, people who drank diet soda are actually less likely to develop a particular type of esophageal cancer, adenocarcinoma, Dr. Susan T. Mayne of the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven and colleagues found.

"We don't want to go out and promote soft drink use as a way to prevent this cancer," Mayne said in an interview with Reuters Health. Instead, she explained, it's likely that heavy diet soda consumption is a stand-in for healthy habits or traits that are protective against the disease.

Rates of esophageal adenocarcinoma have more than tripled since the 1970s, and researchers from India suggested in 2004 that the simultaneous sharp rise in carbonated soda consumption could be the cause. Given that carbonated beverages can cause heartburn, a major risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, and are also acidic, such a link is biologically plausible, Mayne and her team note in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

To investigate, the researchers studies 1,095 people with different types of esophageal and stomach cancer and compared them with 687 matched healthy "control" subjects.

Overall, the team found, drinking soda slightly reduced esophageal adenocarcinoma risk. When they separated out the effects of diet and non-diet soda, Mayne and her team found people who drank diet soda had a 53 percent lower risk of the cancer than those who drank the least. Sugared soda had no effect.

Obesity, gastric acid reflux disease, cigarette smoking and low fruit and vegetable consumption are now known to be the chief risk factors for esophageal cancer, Mayne and her colleagues point out, and all are controllable.

While the possibility that diet soda itself could be protective can't be ruled out, Mayne noted, excessive consumption carries its own health risks -- for example damaging tooth enamel. People hoping to avoid esophageal adenocarcinoma shouldn't start chugging diet pop, but should instead focus on controlling the well-established risk factors for the disease, she advised. "We don't want to mislead people into thinking diet soft drinks are the way to go,"

Dude....what? Please say you don't pour it on your cereal >_<

Also - when you say breakfast...you mean lunch and/or supper, right?

 

[davepoobond]

you can go psychotic from drinking copious amounts of pepsi.

I didn't get up until about 10:30 today, so it was between lunchtime and breakfast time... but my first meal, so breakfast.

And no. I eat cereal straight from the box. Today was hamburger helper and a pepsi.

Tell us more about your water bed.

It's very nice! Last night it was all warm and toasty, and I slept quite well.

Today I feel not thirsty.

good drink alternatives.

oolong tea, black tea, green tea. If you're worried about caffiene, try some Rooibos tea. It might make you a little sleepy though.

They also sell interesting flavored soy milks in drink boxes. Banana, Coco, and tea flavored. All good.

they sell a lot of vinegar drinks here (apple vinegar, black vinegar). Those are good for you. Tastes like cider. Certianly not something you can chug. Like a non alcoholic cocktail

Acerora drinks are good for you too.

Royal milk tea is THE BOMB (Haagen Dazs even has a milk tea ice cream flavor), although probably no better for you than uncarbonated sugar water.

America is lmiting itself so much by sticking to its carbonated sugar water.

It can be the prize for the Bjork trivia contest. 26 of the top scorers get oral from Bjork.

I'd be surprised if 26 people knew stuff about me

Time for bjork to go watch some hentai in the back room of his store me thinks.

 

[bjork]

What, you mean like for practice?

 

[Epsilon-delta]

i hope you like passing kidney stones.

Exactly what I was going to post, word for word.

 

[Freshmaker]

Except for the caffeine that gives you ulcers and the aspartame that gives you cancer.

Is there an actual source for this?

Does anyone remember that episode of Futurama where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee?

Yeah... good luck.
