The beverage is fine, if you have it every few weeks, during heavy exercise or when trying to stay a awake on a long car journey. It's not a drink you should be drinking all day, every day unless you'd be happy taking caffeine tablets and having several spoons of sugar on top of what you're eating. I love coke and will have about 1 can a month on average. In America (and fast food places in general) it seems to be the norm to have sugary soft drinks with everything, which seems pretty weird to me.
- the_af 6y agoAgreed, in moderation it's probably mostly harmless... but still, it's a disgusting sludge when you look at it objectively: a syrupy dark thing with excess sweetener/sugar. However, it triggers some addiction mechanism in my brain, and I must drink it every day. No moderation for me -- it really is an addiction. I don't go to McDonald's: I drink it at home. Diet Coke, so no excess sugar, but I'm pretty sure Diet Coke is unhealthy as well, and I'm not sure those sweeteners are good for you anyway.
