Summer Sensations
What happens if I replace coke with water?
Double questions, sorry in advance.
NUMBER ONE;
I have been drinking Coke since I was a baby. Literally, it was put into my sippy cup.
This month it has began to burn my throat when I drink it. It's awful.
It's not really that bad, to where I can't drink it. It's just a small sensation of heat and scratchy-ness?
NUMBER TWO;
Will I lose weight if I continue to drink water instead of coke?
If so, how much will I lose before the summer?
Definitely will lose a few lbs!!! Besides that the carbonation and sugar eat the enamel on your teeth, so I can imagine what it could do to your stomach over years... You will only be doing a good thing if you switch to water..
If your thinking about switching to diet it is worse the regular coke, accordeding to this study.
according to this study it seems those drinking diet soda tend to gain more weight then those drinking the real stuff. When you read all the facts things change a bit since Diet Coke and most other Diet Sodas have little to no calories which will not cause weight gain. Basically the study says most Diet Soda drinkers use it to let them eat heavier on the other stuff.
By itself diet soda cannot cause weight gain, scientists say. The "zero calories" tag on the label really does mean 0 calories, so diet drinks do not increase the amount of energy the body must burn a day to gain or lose weight.
The effect shown by the study in the San Antonio Heart Study — age 25 to 64 when they first enrolled — must be explained by other means.
One possibility: A person who drinks a diet soda may feel it's OK to make up for those calories with another high-calorie food.
"If I use a diet soda as an excuse to eat more, like a monster burger, then it's my fault if I gain weight, not the diet soda's," said John Foreyt, a Baylor College of Medicine obesity researcher.
That's probably one factor, Fowler said. Another may be that, while the tongue is temporarily satisfied by the sweet taste of a diet soda, the brain isn't similarly fooled. It still wants calories for energy. Other studies have suggested that people who drink an artificially sweetened beverage before a meal will eat more high-calorie foods than those who do not.
A blurred debate
An analyst for a food industry group, the Center for Consumer Freedom, said the hype surrounding obesity has blurred the debate over fat.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that people who are worried about their weight, people who are gaining weight, might choose to drink diet soda," Dan Mindus said. "They call it diet soda for a reason. Choosing a zero-calorie drink when you're worried about your weight is just common sense."
Fowler said she was particularly struck by the finding that the risk for becoming overweight and obese steadily increased with the amount of diet soda consumed. She said that suggests to her the effect is real, and not an error in reading data.
The new research clouds an already muddy picture of weight gain and beverages.
Last year, a study linked sugar-sweetened beverages to weight gain and type 2 diabetes. And some dietitians have also questioned the role of fruit juice, which is often high in natural sugars and calories.
This leaves one drink that everyone agrees is healthy and won't increase the risk of gaining weight. It's also the cheapest beverage, if you don't mind drinking it from the faucet.
