- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoCold Coke on a hot day is positive. Coke 3x a day every day is negative.
- tsdlts 5y agoThere's 44g of sugar in a can of coke. The recommended daily amount of sugar is 24g. Although I take issue that there would be any amount of sugar that should be recommended since it's entirely unnecessary to consume.
- raptorraver 5y agoI wouldn't say sugar is unnecessary for us: “The brain is dependent on sugar as its main fuel” https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/brain/sugar-brain https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/bra...
- tsdlts 5y agoThe body needs sugar, but you don't need to consume sugar to get it. You produce your own glucose.
- Applejinx 5y agoParticularly since in soft drinks it is typically balanced out with salt to intensify craving and the amount you can drink without feeling like you're taking in too much sugar. Soft drinks have quite a bit of salt in there too, even if you're not washing down Doritos.

- phonypc 5y agoI'm not aware of any soft drinks that have significant amounts of salt added. Certainly for the most popular drinks (e.g. coke, pepsi), the only sodium in them is from the water source.
- Applejinx 5y agoIt'll end up as much as a twentieth of a teaspoon of salt per bottle, depending on the soft drink. This is not a huge dose all by itself but you don't register it as salt: it sneaks in as part of other ingredients, rather than being added by the spoonful in raw form (that said, 'natural flavorings' can cover a lot, so it CAN be just added as part of the recipe.) Leave it out and your flavor balance will be more along 'New Coke' lines.
- phonypc 5y agoIt's not just too little to register as salt, it's too little to alter taste at all. It's incidental, not deliberately included as part of the flavor. There's as much sodium in some tap waters, and in fact the sodium content of sodas varies by location because of variations in the source water. Never mind it being "quite a bit of salt" or enough to "intensify craving."

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoMeh. I don't buy or drink soda but if the opportunity arises for a freebie I take it. I like the Dale Cooper methodology- give yourself a gift every day. Don't plan it. Just let it happen. Whole fruits are great at any time though. That I'll agree with.
- phaemon 5y agoIf you're just having one a day, a cold beer is healthier than a cold Coke.
- jollybean 5y agoThere is a 100% chance that if he was sponsored by Coke, the he would have done the opposite. There's so much discussion on this board about 'water' vs 'coke' - that is not it. This is a businessman who makes his money from sponsorship. They know what they are doing and how it will be interpreted. The decision to 'move a bottle of something you're not sponsoring off camera' is inevitably a business decision and normal frankly.
- BaRRaKID 5y agoThere is a 0% chance that he would ever accept that sponsorship. We're talking about someone who is obsessed with health and performance, and the third most well paid athlete in the world. He even said recently that he is 36 years old, has been playing professionally for 20 years, and doesn't really care any more.
