High Fructose Corn Syrup & Obesity

No fat gamer chicks!
Let's put them all on a diet!

I don't normally drink soda. I had two Cokes the day before yesterday, though, because there was no drink water at the house. There just happened to be some Coke, I dunno why... Anyway, after the first, my teeth hurt, I felt nauseous, and my thirst wasn't quenched at all. In fact, I was even more thirsty... I tried melting some ice and drinking that, but... Took forever, and I hardly for any water. Anyway, I drank half of the second one before my dad finally brought some water home. Ended up taking a few sips over the next couple hours, but then my brother's dog licked the top, and I had an excuse to pour it down the drain.

I hate soda, and I don't understand why someone would want to drink it.

I gave up sodas as well a few years back. Don't get me wrong, a nice chilled coke with a slice of lime when u're sitting in the sun is oh-so-nice, but I just stopped drinking it regularly.

But I'm lucky, the east bay (SF bay) tap water is so deliciously good tasting it outtastes many bottled waters on the shelves. If' not I'd just have to chill it in the fridge (like I do with the tap water in my hometown in portugal, it just tastes like crap).
It''s unbelieveable how the most horribly tasting water becomes completely drinkable if chilled enough. Anyone know why?

Has anyone seen those new ads that claim to have taken out all of the artificial stuff out of 7up so now its completely "natural"? Yah, thats a bunch of BS. The soda still has plenty of high fructose corn syrup in it which DOES NOT OCCUR NATURALLY.

False advertising at its finest ::::05::

Where I live we have well water, our own well. I think it tastes better than any tap, bottled, or any other city water I have had.

Doesn't that water have pig pee in it? The pigs at the farm pee on the ground and it seeps into the water table. Then you drink pig pee.

It'll kill your athletes foot though.

I have a well, too. Mine sucks, though...

I like iced tea and muffins. I guess iced tea has high fructose corn syrup... It's in almost all drinks nowadays.

I know muffins aren't a drink, but I really like them.

In the last 6 months i have entered into a healthier lifestyle and have lost 50 lbs.

I began a low carb diet and completly changed my lifestyle and habits.My doctor told me i was a borderline diabetic due to the garbage i was eating on a daily basis.My cholesterol was out of control.

I no longer eat any sugar period.Splenda is a wonderful thing.

To put this in perspective i weighed 275 when i started.I now weigh in at 225.

In the 1st 2 weeks of my new lifestyle i dropped 20 pounds.This is because i stopped drinking coke classic.I was having at least 3 a day.I have exerted a massive amount of self control over my life and im a better person for it now.

I will not go back to the way i lived before under any circumstances.I no longer smoke,drink or have any harmful vices.

The key (in my eyes) to losing ANY weight is to stop eating sugar.High fructose corn syrup is in everything and it is in things you would not beleive.

You know the small bottles of flavored milk in the convenience store?Read the label.

It is in most everything we consume and then some.Look at the labels next time your in the store and you will be shocked.

Dr. Pepper is just too good not to drink religiously.
Same goes with cigarettes and alcohol.

I'm an idiot, I know.

About 5 years ago i was drinking a 12 pack easy on the weekend.I developed acid reflux as a direct result.When i was in high school i was a complete lush and pothead.

My doctor told me 5 years ago to quit drinking COMPLETLY.My liver is damaged beyond repair.I was told if i continued 2 things would happen within 5 years.

1.I would need a dialysis machine

2.I would die.

My doctor that put me on a low carb diet 6 months ago even commented on my liver being damaged.I would tell ya to stop but im a card carrying libretarian so to each his own.

All i can do is convey my personal experiences as an example.

VixenHeart · July 2006

And that's why I'm 6', 120 pounds. I drink water.

patheos · July 2006

That...or because of your gender.

I dunno, I've seen some... monsterously obese women. Like, 500lb... *shudders, cries a little.*

Still, though, I've had maybe 3 or 4 muffins this summer, and, not counting those 2 Cokes, maybe 7 drinks that weren't water. Two of those were Powerade,(sp?) so... I don't know. There's just nothing to do in this backwards, pathetic little bastard of a town.

One night, a couple years ago, I drank over 15(Don't remember the exact number) sodas. ...Blech!

Hmm, I've been drinking Coke about 1 (can) a day for a couple months now. I guess I'm a bit addicted to the caffine. I can feel when I have or haven't had a coke. Its not like i get shakes or headaches, just a feeling that says "You haven't had a coke yet, and it would be a great Idea to get one".

I should probably stop, its probably not good for me, but I figure its better than drinking a beer or any other alcohol a day. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

Start drinking double espressos like me and you will LAUGH at the teensy weensy bit of caffeine that coke has.

Actually if you REALLY want a wake up call go and rent "Supersize Me"and pay attention to the part about soda's and how much sugar is in them.

It is the reverse process as heating. Heating any aliment make it taste more. Cooling anything make it taste less. This is why Ice Cream get a LOT stuff to taste anything at all, while just a pindle of spices is all you need when it is a warm meal.

Humm, high fructiose corn syrup is in a lot of things other than just soda.....and you guys are just talking about soda here. It's in a lot of things that you prbabilly ate last night.

I think you were a special case. I go through a couple half gallons and a few beers a week. Granted, I have acid reflux, but that runs in the family.
