Fezmid Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Amazing. You didn't know what you were talking about. When does that ever happen? Now crawl back to your "fat people can't help it" thread. Caffeine may not fit the clinical definition of addiction, but that doesn't mean it's easy to stop - there are very serious (sometimes debilitating) side-effects with quitting, making it difficult. Sorry I used the layman's definition of addiction, instead of the DSM-IV's definition. Do you really have nothing better to do than to attack people? Seriously, grow up.
LewPort71 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Pooj. To answer your original question...YES. Although I had no adverse health effects, my doctor suggested that I reduce pop/soda intake. That came from a casual comment I made about eating habits.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 That's interesting, cause Im the exact opposite. I purposely won't buy a particular soda if there's no caffeine lol I know what you mean... Caffeine is nice... I like the convience of getting a cheap 2 liter of anything... Then if I only finish half, I heave it out... Most of the time I will finish it over two days maybe more... Just a sad habit with the high fructose corn syrup. Taste.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 That's one thing I've always found odd -- why don't people just drink straight water? Seems like everyone I know wants to add flavor to the water -- isn't the flavor of water good enough? I guess I should be happy that I like how normal water tastes. NO! Now... I am the only one in my family that really drinks soda. My children are 7 and 11 and don't touch the stuff. They just don't like the carbonation. Myself... I love the excessive carbonation and the taste that it brings. I hate flat soda. Back when soda was originated (Dr. Pepper and Coke--- 1880's)... Was carbonation a big part of the appeal??
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I just wanted to let you all know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as face down your demons. I can only begin to imagine what it must be like to face the internal torment that slowly chips away at your health, your family, and your life. Looking into the eye of Dr. Pepper every day is not something I would wish on anyone and my heart goes out to all of you. May God be with you in your time of need. With me... I just don't care... It doesn't chip away at anything. I can still do everything I always did. In the winter I just crank the bindings down even tighter every year. The only thing that makes this an issue for me is society saying it is an issue... That it isn't in vogue to be a big man. If I want to run out the door right now and do 3 miles, I surley could... The only thing I am concerned about at 41 is diabetes. So far so good!
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 He does have an addiction, it's called the Buffalo Bills. How many people do you know that would devote so much time to keeping a fan website going. Some people can handle the soda. If I was foot shorter at 5-5 or so... I couldn't nearly handle it as well... I would blimp out. God blessed me with height. Yet, even with that... one can't get complacent because everything will catch up with people as they age.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 try drinking water from the tap Is that safe anymore?
Fezmid Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Is that safe anymore? I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/PUR-DS-1800Z-2-Stage...8719&sr=8-3
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I use one of these:http://www.amazon.com/PUR-DS-1800Z-2-Stage...8719&sr=8-3 The water in my town is extremely hard (450 ppm)... Also very high in clear iron with just over 1.0 ppm... We get town water from their wells, not the lake... Water bills are extemely low yet, we have to soften. I use a whole house pre-filter and and post softener filter... Then RO drining water.

thebug Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Yeah if you hold your head right or live in Northern Ontario.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 or live in Northern Ontario. Even that is getting polluted or has to be tainted by now! I would canoe around Algonquin Provincial Park as a child during the late 1970's and into the 1980's and water was already getting sketchy and had to be modified and/or treated... Then again, I guess that isn't too far north!
