Don't forget that there's also tons of misinformation spread by companies that have an interest in it: coca-cola spends millions to tell us that drinking as much cola as we want is okay as long as we exercise enough. But they don't tell us the ridiculous amount of exercise we would need to do to burn the calories of a small glass of cola.
- stinos 11y agoHa, indeed forgot about that. Good point!
- phalangion 11y agoIt's not really a ridiculous amount of exercise for a small glass of soda. A can of Coke has 140 calories. 30 minutes on an exercise bike will burn around 300 calories for an average sized man. So it's around 15 minutes of exercise to burn off a Coke. Hardly a ridiculous amount.
- Vraxx 11y agoFair point, but a small glass of soda isn't exactly the typical serving size. Go to any gas station and that small glass of soda option got turned into 3 or 4 as your default option. As for the claim of drinking as much as you want as long as you exercise, I could see that easily getting out of hand with those types of conversion ratios.
