I guess this is what the article tries to achieve. Just PR to steer you to more unhealthy consumption.
Safe choice here was always to simply avoid sweet beverages altogether, and not just Coke, all the juices too.
- Retric 8y agoAs someone that drinks around 10oz of soda a week, I don’t think it qualifies as unhealthy consumption. It’s not perfect, but it’s below the threshold of meaningful impact on my weight. People seem to focus on the daily consumption which is sadly common. But, there is a huge range between daily and never. I also eat fast food a few times a year which is fine.
- vorpalhex 8y agoThere's nothing wrong with having something sweet.. occasionally. I made this mistake for a long time, trying to fudge my diet with faux-healthy snacks that were still basically just packaged fake sugar. If you want a bit of chocolate, have a bit of chocolate. If you want a soda, have a bit of soda (the small cans are about the right size it seems). Just don't have 8 sodas a day, or eat an entire cake to yourself. Calorie count. Make sure most of your diet consists of things other than empty carbs. Eat your veggies, etc.
