BuffaloBud Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 No soda / pop for over 10 years. Just shut it down. Drink a 32oz of water with lunch / dinner. Now, I do enjoy my beer or wine as well mind you.
plenzmd1 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I have never drank too much soda, but agree with Jim...i never touch a diet soda now. Occasional Old School Dew when i see, and Jarritos Mandarin when i get lunch at the authentic taqueria down the street. Hmm, that chit is da bomb! http://www.mexgrocer.com/6270.html?utm_source=CSEs&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Mexican%20Food%20Groceries&gclid=CNWnx_zZucMCFeZj7AodQ2UAvw In other words, only stuff made with real cane sugar.

The orange Jarritos and an authentic Mexican place are a match made in heaven. Got intruduced a number of years ago while working around Chicago.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 The whole diet pop thing is so overblown. In order for it to hurt you, you would have to have an average of 15 a day.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The whole diet pop thing is so overblown. In order for it to hurt you, you would have to have an average of 15 a day. I keep on hearing this "one" pop a day thing... What is "one." Can it be a 2 litre? J/k... I know it's not 67 ounces. But how much 12, 16, 20, 24oz.? And... When did this get started?

KD in CA Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 12 oz pops is what I was talking about. I usually have a 12 oz pop (or two) myself in the evenings, but no soda.

TakeYouToTasker Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I love carbonated beverages, so, like Chef Jim, I drink a ton of carbonated water. However, I love ice cold Mug and A&W Rootbeer, so I treat myself to a can about once a month or so. I only drink one cup of coffee per day. Edited January 30, 2015 by TakeYouToTasker
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Coke Zero taste almost like real coke, not so much of a diet aftertaste. But zero calories, sugar, carbs, etc.
Chef Jim Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Well after reading this thread I think it's time to sell my coke stock.

Don't they have a hand/brand in other than soda stuff like: Simply Orange, Dasini, Minute Maid, etc... ?? Then of course there is the international business.
Azalin Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I don't drink much soda anymore. Instead I'll mix a little pure grape of cherry juice with seltzer water. Usually, I'll just drink water. Or margaritas. Or tequila. Or beer. Or Mike's Hard Lemonade. I never, ever drink diet soda. The artificial sweetener tastes terrible to me.

Azalin Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Same here! Apparently some people can't taste it. I don't understand how they can't.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Trying to quit drinking soda. I am addicted to Soda big time. I feel like crap too after pounding a lot down. Anyone else have the same problem? I never smoke or drink but Pop on the other hand is my downfall.I read the long term effects it has on your Heart, Brain, Stomach, Liver and your Pancreas. That scared me enough to quit lol. wise choice. crazy as it sounds just drinking purified water after a few days will make you forget about pop (except for pizza of course) Also having a spot of fruit juice with a meal helps too but you don't want to pound tons of juice because it will have the same effect as soda.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My name is Joe, and I'm a caffeine addict. For real. I used to drink about 7 cokes a day. Gave me diabetes. I drink Coke Zero now, because it has no sugar. I've tried quitting before, but if I go more than a day, I get major headaches. you might want to reconsider artificial sweeteners as well; "Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious, including seizures and death. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as part of aspartame dangers are: Headaches/ migraines Dizziness Seizures Nausea Numbness Muscle spasms Weight gain Rashes Depression Fatigue Irritability Tachycardia Insomnia Vision problems Hearing loss Heart palpitations Breathing difficulties Anxiety attacks Slurred speech Loss of taste Tinnitus Vertigo Memory loss Joint pain http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/06/aspartame-most-dangerous-substance-added-to-food.aspx
