I had an Aunt that only drank Coke, about 12-18 a day. Her excuse was she lived in Phoenix and didn’t want to drink the nasty tap water. She had full dentures at 40, diabetes at 45, and a ton of other health problems. She still drank 6 cokes a day when she had diabetes. Finally gave it up when she turned 50, but her health never recovered. Passed away when she was 58.
A family friend literally lost her sight, and her legs to drinking massive amounts of soda and eating an incredibly unhealthy diet. In her case, she never gave any of it up and ended up dying from complications from diabetes. It was so depressing to watch.
@The Hellwalker that's so disturbing brother.. you should immediately take her to a rehab as it would help with her caffeine addiction. She should start drinking lots of water and eating green vegetables. Avoid carbs. If you really really care about her this is the time to act. No matter what, you have to take the initiative despite all her protests and passiveness. She will get alright in no time.
Funny story about this. When I was a teen, I had two teeth removed so my braces would move my teeth into alignment. The nurse asked me if she could have my two extractions to see if coke or Pepsi rotted teeth faster. When I asked later, she said, Coke won.

About 15 years back I went through a "diet coke phase" and would go through more than a case of Diet Coke or Coke Zero on my own every week. This went on for about 6 -8 months and along with a new more stringent exercise regimen, it did help me cut down a good bit of weight and help me make significant fitness strides... and put about 10 years worth of wear through my teeth. Even practicing consistent and sound dental hygiene this habit took its toll. Luckily I also go to yearly dental checkups and they instantly helped steer me away from this before I could do more damage to myself. I still enjoy a Coke on occasion, and I think that is ok. It also helps if you consume with a meal instead of as a standalone snack if you wish to drink it more often. Everything with moderation. Also, know everything comes with a price and if you abuse this then it will come with a significant health cost.
@@Omega_258 Diet coke / coke zero has aspartame, which you should avoid abusing too, it's not as bad as sugar but it is bad. Also, as it is a sweetener, the insulin response from your body is almost the same as with sugar, so all they said about getting hungrier and needing more food to feel full in this video still applies to sweeteners.
The timing of this video is impeccable. My partner and I decided yesterday to stop drinking pop. I was able to quit smoking after 12 years, cold turkey. But I find it so hard to stop drinking pop. 🤷♀️

United States is second largest consumer of soda now only because more Americans are switching to 'energy' and 'flavoured-water' drinks. They are even worse than coke. Fatter Americans make for fatter profits for junk food corporations.
Standard sugar-sweetened Coke is kind of toxic, especially when there is high fructose corn syrup, which is a small molecule which is the base for building the cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels. I do drink a couple of sugar-free Diet Coke per day. It require a lot of discipline though. I believe it should be a warning on sugared Coke cans, saying that more than one can per day is dangerous to health. I do drink plain water for the rest of the day. It is very good that you made this video, it is well researched and medically correct. People don't need to stop drinking sugared Coke, but - initially - switch to Diet Coke. Diet Coke has its own set of problems, because the sweetener cause the slowing of liver activity, felt as nausea; but it is much less dangerous than sugar or HFCS. During the summer, I use sparkling water with fresh lemon juice and a sliver of sweetener (a lemonade). Thank you for the video...
It would be awesome if you were a lawyer and the name of your law firm is Juggalos Justice and all your clients are juggalos and juggalettes. That would be so awesome! Sorry lol. This is what I do when I am bored. Apparently haha.
I had a dad who drank coke consistantly, and he developed issues such as gout. Though he later died of heart issues (maybe exacerbated by his habit), my mom, who was a nurse, taught him to love water and prolonged his life for a bit.
I was only drinking coke for 2 Years. When I stopped i lost 35 lbs in 4 months. I did not change my food or exercise more, the only thing i changed was to not drink Coke.
To answer a common question not addressed in the video: Why the fructose contained in the fruit is not toxic like the fructose contained in U.S. Coke. The answer is that the fruits, in conjunction with the fructose, do also contain a lot of fiber. The fiber accelerate greatly the transit of fructose in the digestive system, denying all the negative consequences (the formation of low molecular weight tryglicerids) of standalone fructose. Thank you once more to Infographic for this excellent video...
Yeah and that is why most fruit drinks aren't actually much better than sodas. They juice a fruit, then remove all the pulp so the only thing left is the sugar water, then think it is better. Water is best
I used to work with someone who was in their 60s and only drank Dr. Pepper at work, in addition to always eating fast food. He was always having issues with his health and I used to try and persuade him to drink more water. He said he hated the taste of water and would only drink soda.
I needed to hear this truth! I totally became addicted to Coke..lol that sounds bad but you know what I mean, and I have seen all these bad things start to come true! Time for some much needed lifestyle changes! Thank you for sharing.
I gave up drinking soda 17 years ago and don’t miss it. The downfall a year after stopping l, I noticed how sweet everything else is. I had to start cutting sweets out. Glad I stopped and won’t look back.
My mom worked with a lady who would only consume Coke. Didn't eat, didn't drink anything else. Eating disorder involved. She was in her upper 40s, but looked like she was in her 90s. Everyone soda is a desert and not a beverage.
I work with a guy who drinks at least two 2 litre bottles of Irn Bru (Scottish fizzy drink) every day. I've no idea how anyone can drink so much of something like that.
@@samx4830 "We've", you're probably right about most of us though haha, some of the things you see walking about Glasgow... Oof. My teeth are pretty good because I take good care of them, but I also rarely drink fizzy drinks.
What bothers me the most is how this stuff can still be legal (like many extremely harmful products) because of GIANT POWERFUL companies that get away with mass harmful stuff, yet some other silly stuff can be illegal and put you in jail
I stopped drinking soda a few months ago after being a pretty regular drinker(although not every day) for a lot of my life. Ever since my skin looks a lot better, my teeth look and feel better, and I just overall feel better. If I need flavor in my drink I’ll just get some flavored water or unsweet tea and it helps. I don’t even like the taste of soda anymore, it just tastes too sweet now
One man here in the Philippines was interviewed because he only drinks sodas for 15 years.. no water just sodas.. He mentioned that he didn’t feel any ailment. However, when he tried to stop drinking sodas since his kids were concerned of him.. he went into withdrawal.. soooo it was a good reason for him not to stop consuming sodas….
I have a mother who's drank only RC Cola since graduating highschool. She did end up obese, has diabetes, has fatigue for the half of the day she's awake, eats primarily fried fatty foods, and is on dialysis. I thank my father and my active lifestyle for keeping me active and fit growing up.
You should do a video about diet coke! I drink way too much diet coke, I'm cutting back now to only drinking it when I am eating out but it would be cool to see the effects my diet coke habit has had on my body! I know it messed up my teeth a bunch, that and a few other factors let to me needing partial dentures in my 20s. It also definitely raised my blood pressure a bit, but I have POTS and low blood pressure so it actually helped me in that regard.
Used to do this with Mtn Dew. Now I'm down to 180 from 250 and actually take my body seriously and what I'm consuming. WFPB and healthy drinking has helped immensely.
Okay lets be serious: I drink on average a 0.33 bottle of extra coffeine containing coke and I can confirm some symptoms! The dehydration in the morning is a big issue and pickles are probanly not getting better drinking coke. On the other hand there is a very interesting phenomenon happening: I can drink as much coke as I want and I can sleep well.(5-10 min of getting in sleep state) The most interesting fact is, this phenomenon of losing its effect of shugar push and sleep deprevation depends on the coke brand, so some some cokes are not having a big effect, others have!
@@Shad0w-One more like says someone who has been drinking only coke for 20+ years, and just had a physical saying i am in perfect health, 165 lbs of mostly muscle, and that i check out to be a 25 year old dude even though im over 30, on top of a mouth of perfect teeth, because i actually brush them......no joint pain, etc etc etc.... i wasnt allowed coke as a kid, and as a teen i started, and fell in love, typical rebellious stuff, i made it the only thing i drank, and now i just continue out of a combo of habbit, and it tasting so good. the ONLY thing i drink other than store brand coke, (because im cheep and i drink ALOT of it) is the occasional cup of coffee, which is also supposedly bad for you, especially when i make it, as i load it with sugar, cream, and other things too, like chocolate, or caramel. and i dont drink that very often.
I switched from soda to sparkling water a long time ago because I mostly drank soda due to liking the carbonation. However I will have the occasional can of soda, at most once a week.
I naturally love water and soda is unappealing to me. I’m so happy about this because I’m already overweight. I couldn’t imagine not drinking water. It’s the only thing that helps my thirst.
I once had to babysit on the neighbours kids and had nothing to drink for them except water, milk and tea. After playing with them in the garden they wanted to drink something so I offered them some water and one of them was 5 and told me he thinks water tastes bad and never drinks it, his little sister of 3 also didn’t want water or anything else. So I asked them what they normally drink and they told me they basically only drink soda, I was shocked man. Only drinks with sugar in it at that age is definitely not good for them and knowing I can do nothing about it kinda makes me sad. They’re lovely kids but already overweight and it’s a pain to see their eating patterns.
@@devonwhite9398 Day 5. I’ve ONLY given up Coke at this point. You’ve nailed it. Having delicious full-sugar Red Bull for lunch seems to work the same way as Coke. Baby steps!!
I was that guy for over a decade. Even with regular dental checkups and brushing, I still did major damage to my teeth. At first I couldn’t even tell, because above the gum line, my teeth looked fine. Below, on the other hand... Had to eventually get 2 implants, 2 root canals + crowns, and a bunch of fillings. I’ve always been very active, and other than the Coke, had a pretty healthy diet too. So luckily the damage was more or less limited to my teeth. Nowadays I can’t even stand drinking carbonated beverages. Aside from beer😂
I went through a Coca-Cola addiction for awhile. I quit cold turkey and lost about 25 pounds in about 6 weeks. I still have a Coca-Cola about twice a month.
Any tips on quitting like alternatives and cravings? I tend to get headaches without it (I assume the caffeine) tried quitting many times longest I went was a month. Haven’t found an alternative that’s satisfying and healthy. At one point I thought I could drink vitamin water instead but it got old quickly
@@sigmodus in my case i would always drink a cup of coke every day, in order to stop this addiction i replaced coke with an orange juice. I havemt drank any coke in 4 months
I finally kicked my coke habit. I’m from Atlanta and we drink them religiously here. I finally kicked the habit after 16 years. I do about 3 Coke Zero’s per day and at least 90 oz of water. I went from 360lbs to 285lbs in 6 months.
I finally kicked my pop habit on January 1, 2021, and according to my doctor, I was just in time. It’s been almost 2 years and I’m down almost 30 pounds 💜
I replaced coke with squash and sparkling water. It’s the fizzy part I crave. But I still have coke now and then as a treat 😋 and I never have diet drinks, they’re bad in a different way.
Mentioning squash, you made me comment... I was looking for that word :D I never drank awful lots (like 1.5 - 2 + litres a day) of coke or similar beverages in the first place, but I still drink like ~half a litre a day which mostly is squash and sparkling water, but sometimes also stuff like Cola + Orange (+ Lemon) mixes (PepsiCo's Schwip Schwap which I think is a German thing only or Spezi, don't like Mezzo Mix), but I rarely increase the amount of that when I have to quench my thirst on a hot day or after some activity and if I do, not by much. I usually just drink a lot of tap water in that case and just get a small amount of something with a sweet taste afterwards. The good thing about squash is that you can just take less of it so it's not absurdly sweet where you can feel something like a carpet on your teeth after drinking a glass of it (Coke is pretty good at that). I can't even drink Fanta and Sprite anymore, they're just utter sugar bombs. If you really want to have the light way with some taste, just put a bit of lemon juice (or concentrate of that) into sparling water. I do make my sparkling water with a Sodastream and tap water (which is actually top notch where I live), so I don't even have to carry that stuff home and it's always fresh. I also don't like the diet drinks, can't stand the taste of Aspartame, acesulfame-K and natrium cyclamate, it's horribly bitter and that's the typical mix of artificial sweeteners here. I tried drinks with stevia instead, but the EU didn't allow the refined variant that you would get in the US or South American countries where it originates from which doesn't taste bitter, but only unrefined Stevia which does have a bitter taste to it. Was hoping for it becoming a real alternative, but well, it didn't end up being that.
I had a friend somenyears ago; I knew him for about 6 years or so, but for as long as I knew him, I never seen him drink anything other than Pepsi. We would stop at a gas station and he would buy 2L every time, most of the time he would buy two of them. His recycle bin was full of Pepsi cans. This guy would also continuously chain smoke. I haven't talked to the guy in about 7 years now, but I was always astonished how he never had any health issues other than cavities and he was in his mid to late 40s.
I actually forced myself to stop drinking any sodas and it worked very well! The only liquid that I put in my body is Milk, and Water. And some Fruit Juice.
I drank coke for 5 years. After one cavity scare and high blood sugar. I gave it up completely. I am also an ex smoker going on 4 month’s smoke free. Exercise and diet have made me feel better then I ever have. And I’m never looking back. I can breathe and everything again.
It absolutely is hard to quit you get so used to something your body goes through withdrawals drinking sugar free drinks is actually worse because it contains aspartame which causes cancer best thing to do is enjoy a drink in moderation once in awhile it's a treat problem is it's so readily available and cheap that you just go crazy with it like everybody else does I do my kids do. And a lot of times the problem is once you quit it's already too late all the damages done my dad's got brain damage diabetes holes in his legs and that's from drinking too much alcohol but all the alcohol turns into sugars that's why alcohol causes diabetes but once again too much of anything is bad even too many vegetables is bad for you it's all about moderation
I've had a gallon or more of mountain dew every day for at least 25 years. I don't drink water. I wake up in the middle of the night and drink a mountain dew. I love it. I'm in great physical health. I have zero of the negative affects listed in this video.
Just came across a doctor's react video to a woman who drank anywhere between 13 to 20 cans of coke a day and then the infographic show comes out with a topic on that it's very suspicious. Also I'm glad I'm not the average American who drinks that much cocoa year
If you struggle to fight soda addiction, especially dark, heavy sugared ones... go with persian or indian cai (black tea) and honey. If you like mix in some peach tea or lemon etc. Sincerly, your next door Persian. Women. Life. Freedom.
Coming from a person who basically grew up with a sippy cup full of juice to put me to sleep every night and grew up 98% drinking either sodas or sweet tea, don’t do this. It isn’t worth half of the things on the list, and I’m only 23. I unfortunately have a lot to look forward to for my future (medically speaking) 🙃
As an argentine we have coke with every meal, yet we outlive and are healthier than most americans. Could it be a recipe or a combination of other products? We also have a lot of meat and vegetables but never really have health issues related to coke, its like water to most of us.
Drinking water makes me hungry, but I also don't drink sugary drinks either as what helps out the most is cutting the sugar out period. Eating three meals a day is also outdated.
This video is on point. I user to drink 9 coke cans a day. In the process I got 6 cavities within just a few years. Not long after a tooth rotted. It's not worth it.
Wonderful video! I stopped drinking soda like 10 years ago and it was the best decision for my body. I only drink water, coffee and some occasional brisk here and there and maybe some wine lol that’s it! Majority water! My body will crave it! My throat gets dry asf and even starts hurting; my whole mouth is crusty asf lol idk how someone can ignore that feeling… I typically wake up and drink 8-16 oz of water before anything else.. I also sleep with my water bottle 🤣🤣❤️🔥
I’m 20, and have probably consumed 6-10 glasses of soda a day for the past 5 years, however I am actually underweight, do not have diabetes, my blood work is perfectly good, but the problems I do attribute to soda consumption would be having literally no enamel left on my teeth, and acne.
I've been drinking Coke Zero for 15+ years, no issues, however back when I used to drink regular soda, oh man, it was awful, now I can't stand drinking sugary drinks or I get nausea and headaches.
I do drink coke around 1.5 liters per day, until today, I'm going out to buy more now. The coke for night and not being able to sleep until 6:00 AM is pretty accurate.
I drink waaaay to much sugar (not daily for cans, but definitely for sugar). I also drink a TON of water, and brush my teeth minimum 2 or more times per day... Hopefully even out?
Hmm … In my OPINION (you don’t have to do what I say), I suggest you minimize the amount of sugars you are taking because like you said, you are saying that you drink “waaaay” too much. Also, that MIGHT eventually cause tooth decay and so on even though you’re drinking tons of water.
I Love how this makes me enjoy my Coca ~ Cola even more now 😂. but seriously I was drinking a 12 pack a day easy ,now I have around 3 cans of pop a day
My dad Just tuned 80 yesterday and has been drinking Pepsi only for well over 40 years little to zero water on any given day and so far it has given him a fatty liver, arthritis in his hands and very limited mobility. He is also skin and bones and refuses to stop drinking soda. I love him but the stubbornness is very frustrating. If this has taught me anything is to drink plenty of water or else.
literally NONE of this is true, LOL. i literally drink coke every day, and except for the OCCASIONAL cup of coffee, its ALL i drink. i drink about 2L a day, if not more. i only eat one meal a day, dinner, and if i can manage to eat about half as much as a normal person, im FULL. its called brush your teeth, take a bath, and get up and go outside every once in a while, eat healthy, and EVERY one of these wont happen. also coke and salad are a GREAT combo. the sweetness and acidity, pair well with a nice spicy arugula salad.
I'm not looking for likes but my mother literally only drinks diet coke. Water gives her nausea. She literally only drinks diet coke and sometimes wine. Sometimes she drinks coffee with milk and water but on average she drinks 3-5 mini cans a day.
Phew, good thing i don't drink coke every day **takes a sip of sprite**

It would be awesome if you were a lawyer and the name of your law firm is Juggalos Justice and all your clients are juggalos and juggalettes. That would be so awesome! Sorry lol. This is what I do when I am bored. Apparently haha.
You should never be bored. There's always something to study or a skill to develop

I had a dad who drank coke consistantly, and he developed issues such as gout. Though he later died of heart issues (maybe exacerbated by his habit), my mom, who was a nurse, taught him to love water and prolonged his life for a bit.
I was only drinking coke for 2 Years. When I stopped i lost 35 lbs in 4 months. I did not change my food or exercise more, the only thing i changed was to not drink Coke.

To answer a common question not addressed in the video: Why the fructose contained in the fruit is not toxic like the fructose contained in U.S. Coke.
The answer is that the fruits, in conjunction with the fructose, do also contain a lot of fiber. The fiber accelerate greatly the transit of fructose in the digestive system, denying all the negative consequences (the formation of low molecular weight tryglicerids) of standalone fructose.
Thank you once more to Infographic for this excellent video...
Yeah and that is why most fruit drinks aren't actually much better than sodas. They juice a fruit, then remove all the pulp so the only thing left is the sugar water, then think it is better. Water is best
I used to work with someone who was in their 60s and only drank Dr. Pepper at work, in addition to always eating fast food. He was always having issues with his health and I used to try and persuade him to drink more water. He said he hated the taste of water and would only drink soda.
I stopped drinking soda years ago. Finally tried a sip last week and just thought it was gross - it’s just way too sweet and syrupy now.
Yeah! It's like fiery syrup 🤮
I needed to hear this truth! I totally became addicted to Coke..lol that sounds bad but you know what I mean, and I have seen all these bad things start to come true! Time for some much needed lifestyle changes! Thank you for sharing.
I gave up drinking soda 17 years ago and don’t miss it. The downfall a year after stopping l, I noticed how sweet everything else is. I had to start cutting sweets out. Glad I stopped and won’t look back.
My mom worked with a lady who would only consume Coke. Didn't eat, didn't drink anything else. Eating disorder involved. She was in her upper 40s, but looked like she was in her 90s. Everyone soda is a desert and not a beverage.
I work with a guy who drinks at least two 2 litre bottles of Irn Bru (Scottish fizzy drink) every day. I've no idea how anyone can drink so much of something like that.
im scottish we have an unmatched sweet tooth, thats why we've all got bad teeth.
Which is ironic because the best dentristry in europe is in Glasgow.
@@samx4830 "We've", you're probably right about most of us though haha, some of the things you see walking about Glasgow... Oof. My teeth are pretty good because I take good care of them, but I also rarely drink fizzy drinks.
because it tastes good.
Also, sodas dehydrate you, which makes you not have a bowel movement, and the excess gas, puffs your stomach out like a balloon, causing fat bellies
What bothers me the most is how this stuff can still be legal (like many extremely harmful products) because of GIANT POWERFUL companies that get away with mass harmful stuff, yet some other silly stuff can be illegal and put you in jail
Infographics Animation Department 🏬 are top notch as usual. I totally expected a slightly different story!
I stopped drinking soda a few months ago after being a pretty regular drinker(although not every day) for a lot of my life. Ever since my skin looks a lot better, my teeth look and feel better, and I just overall feel better. If I need flavor in my drink I’ll just get some flavored water or unsweet tea and it helps. I don’t even like the taste of soda anymore, it just tastes too sweet now
One man here in the Philippines was interviewed because he only drinks sodas for 15 years.. no water just sodas.. He mentioned that he didn’t feel any ailment. However, when he tried to stop drinking sodas since his kids were concerned of him.. he went into withdrawal.. soooo it was a good reason for him not to stop consuming sodas….
I have a mother who's drank only RC Cola since graduating highschool.
She did end up obese, has diabetes, has fatigue for the half of the day she's awake, eats primarily fried fatty foods, and is on dialysis.

You should do a video about diet coke! I drink way too much diet coke, I'm cutting back now to only drinking it when I am eating out but it would be cool to see the effects my diet coke habit has had on my body! I know it messed up my teeth a bunch, that and a few other factors let to me needing partial dentures in my 20s. It also definitely raised my blood pressure a bit, but I have POTS and low blood pressure so it actually helped me in that regard.
I’ve been drinking 3/4 cans for almost 17 years and my teeth are fine my weight is fine so idk 🤷🏻♂️
I have pots also.
Used to do this with Mtn Dew. Now I'm down to 180 from 250 and actually take my body seriously and what I'm consuming. WFPB and healthy drinking has helped immensely.
Okay lets be serious:
I drink on average a 0.33 bottle of extra coffeine containing coke and I can confirm some symptoms!
The dehydration in the morning is a big issue and pickles are probanly not getting better drinking coke.
On the other hand there is a very interesting phenomenon happening:
I can drink as much coke as I want and I can sleep well.(5-10 min of getting in sleep state)
The most interesting fact is, this phenomenon of losing its effect of shugar push and sleep deprevation depends on the coke brand, so some some cokes are not having a big effect, others have!
Love to see a episode of what happens when you only drink milk and flavoured milk 🧐

@@stapuft nice essay bro
I switched from soda to sparkling water a long time ago because I mostly drank soda due to liking the carbonation. However I will have the occasional can of soda, at most once a week.
Last year I probably drank like 1/8th of a gallon of soda so that makes me feel pretty good looking at the averages 😂
I naturally love water and soda is unappealing to me. I’m so happy about this because I’m already overweight. I couldn’t imagine not drinking water. It’s the only thing that helps my thirst.
I’ve only drunk soda for 12 years now and I’m still skinny and healthy 💀
same asf
That’s why ur still skinny💀
I once had to babysit on the neighbours kids and had nothing to drink for them except water, milk and tea. After playing with them in the garden they wanted to drink something so I offered them some water and one of them was 5 and told me he thinks water tastes bad and never drinks it, his little sister of 3 also didn’t want water or anything else. So I asked them what they normally drink and they told me they basically only drink soda, I was shocked man. Only drinks with sugar in it at that age is definitely not good for them and knowing I can do nothing about it kinda makes me sad. They’re lovely kids but already overweight and it’s a pain to see their eating patterns.
I’m on day 4 without any Coke. I usually have at least 1 can a day. Of course, I don’t ONLY drink Coke.
Good job! Try to commit to no soda it will pay off tenfold!
nice. I usually drink coke once a couple of months lol.
@@devonwhite9398 Day 5. I’ve ONLY given up Coke at this point. You’ve nailed it. Having delicious full-sugar Red Bull for lunch seems to work the same way as Coke. Baby steps!!
@@DarkbutNotsinister hahahah okay man 🤣
@@ezoid5431 I think I had my last Coke like half a year ago... :D
I was that guy for over a decade. Even with regular dental checkups and brushing, I still did major damage to my teeth. At first I couldn’t even tell, because above the gum line, my teeth looked fine. Below, on the other hand...
Had to eventually get 2 implants, 2 root canals + crowns, and a bunch of fillings. I’ve always been very active, and other than the Coke, had a pretty healthy diet too. So luckily the damage was more or less limited to my teeth. Nowadays I can’t even stand drinking carbonated beverages. Aside from beer😂
I went through a Coca-Cola addiction for awhile. I quit cold turkey and lost about 25 pounds in about 6 weeks. I still have a Coca-Cola about twice a month.
Any tips on quitting like alternatives and cravings? I tend to get headaches without it (I assume the caffeine) tried quitting many times longest I went was a month. Haven’t found an alternative that’s satisfying and healthy. At one point I thought I could drink vitamin water instead but it got old quickly
@@sigmodus Cold turkey, and started working out more, I did get headaches too, for about a month or so.
@@sigmodus in my case i would always drink a cup of coke every day, in order to stop this addiction i replaced coke with an orange juice. I havemt drank any coke in 4 months
I finally kicked my coke habit. I’m from Atlanta and we drink them religiously here. I finally kicked the habit after 16 years. I do about 3 Coke Zero’s per day and at least 90 oz of water. I went from 360lbs to 285lbs in 6 months.
Can you do a video on if tap water is safe to drink?
It’s not.

Loved the CR7 origin story.
I replaced coke with squash and sparkling water. It’s the fizzy part I crave. But I still have coke now and then as a treat 😋 and I never have diet drinks, they’re bad in a different way.
Mentioning squash, you made me comment... I was looking for that word :D
I never drank awful lots (like 1.5 - 2 + litres a day) of coke or similar beverages in the first place, but I still drink like ~half a litre a day which mostly is squash and sparkling water, but sometimes also stuff like Cola + Orange (+ Lemon) mixes (PepsiCo's Schwip Schwap which I think is a German thing only or Spezi, don't like Mezzo Mix), but I rarely increase the amount of that when I have to quench my thirst on a hot day or after some activity and if I do, not by much. I usually just drink a lot of tap water in that case and just get a small amount of something with a sweet taste afterwards. The good thing about squash is that you can just take less of it so it's not absurdly sweet where you can feel something like a carpet on your teeth after drinking a glass of it (Coke is pretty good at that). I can't even drink Fanta and Sprite anymore, they're just utter sugar bombs. If you really want to have the light way with some taste, just put a bit of lemon juice (or concentrate of that) into sparling water. I do make my sparkling water with a Sodastream and tap water (which is actually top notch where I live), so I don't even have to carry that stuff home and it's always fresh.
I also don't like the diet drinks, can't stand the taste of Aspartame, acesulfame-K and natrium cyclamate, it's horribly bitter and that's the typical mix of artificial sweeteners here. I tried drinks with stevia instead, but the EU didn't allow the refined variant that you would get in the US or South American countries where it originates from which doesn't taste bitter, but only unrefined Stevia which does have a bitter taste to it. Was hoping for it becoming a real alternative, but well, it didn't end up being that.
Odd, for me I had sparkling water/coke a few times and every time I hated it for that very specific fizzy part, for me it just tastes nastier
You should do one like this but the process of someone literally only drinking alcohol
I don’t drink soda, but I’m glad to see that I made the right decision
I had a friend somenyears ago; I knew him for about 6 years or so, but for as long as I knew him, I never seen him drink anything other than Pepsi. We would stop at a gas station and he would buy 2L every time, most of the time he would buy two of them. His recycle bin was full of Pepsi cans. This guy would also continuously chain smoke.
I haven't talked to the guy in about 7 years now, but I was always astonished how he never had any health issues other than cavities and he was in his mid to late 40s.
Oh, Hey! A video about me! 🥤

RK9 clever way to spell it 😂
Facts

I actually forced myself to stop drinking any sodas and it worked very well! The only liquid that I put in my body is Milk, and Water. And some Fruit Juice.
I drank coke for 5 years. After one cavity scare and high blood sugar. I gave it up completely. I am also an ex smoker going on 4 month’s smoke free. Exercise and diet have made me feel better then I ever have. And I’m never looking back. I can breathe and everything again.
Something tells me that it wasn't the soda that made you feel bad.
I'm glad for you,i hope you can keep up this lifestyle.
Warren buffet laughing at the corner🙌
This is why I quit. It was so hard to quit cold turkey. I went from drinking 6 plus cans of Diet Coke a day to nothing.
It absolutely is hard to quit you get so used to something your body goes through withdrawals drinking sugar free drinks is actually worse because it contains aspartame which causes cancer best thing to do is enjoy a drink in moderation once in awhile it's a treat problem is it's so readily available and cheap that you just go crazy with it like everybody else does I do my kids do. And a lot of times the problem is once you quit it's already too late all the damages done my dad's got brain damage diabetes holes in his legs and that's from drinking too much alcohol but all the alcohol turns into sugars that's why alcohol causes diabetes but once again too much of anything is bad even too many vegetables is bad for you it's all about moderation
I've had a gallon or more of mountain dew every day for at least 25 years. I don't drink water. I wake up in the middle of the night and drink a mountain dew. I love it. I'm in great physical health. I have zero of the negative affects listed in this video.
Background music too loud! Love your videos!!
Okay but what if I only did Coke everyday?
Note: Despite the certainty in which it was stated, there is no clear consensus that telomeres are the cause of aging.
Oh gosh! I drink at least one can a day to get me through the day. Thinking twice about that now 🤔
I already did this when I was five, I had a couple of cavities and I gained a bunch of weight, well the weight I got from eating a bunch of Junk food
For me, it doesn't happen often that I drink something different than water or milk. Maybe once a month.
Ye me too like once per 3 weeks, but between the ages of 14 and 18 I drank like 2 a week, like most I was a dumb teen
@@Zinobadz two a week is so much better than most kids though haha
Cutting out soda was the best thing I’ve ever done. Not drinking it made me feel amazing and I lost 20lbs over the year

If you struggle to fight soda addiction, especially dark, heavy sugared ones... go with persian or indian cai (black tea) and honey. If you like mix in some peach tea or lemon etc. Sincerly, your next door Persian. Women. Life. Freedom.
Coming from a person who basically grew up with a sippy cup full of juice to put me to sleep every night and grew up 98% drinking either sodas or sweet tea, don’t do this. It isn’t worth half of the things on the list, and I’m only 23. I unfortunately have a lot to look forward to for my future (medically speaking) 🙃
Wish they did this on diet Coke. My mother has been drinking diet coke (no water) since I can remeber and she's probably almost 60 now
So glad I was watching this with a glass full of ice cold Coca-Cola :D
😂 I just got a fresh fountain coke
Who is the infographics narrator? He's great. And great video as always ☺️
As an argentine we have coke with every meal, yet we outlive and are healthier than most americans. Could it be a recipe or a combination of other products? We also have a lot of meat and vegetables but never really have health issues related to coke, its like water to most of us.
Thank you for reminding me about those little things i just dont think about in my everday life. I am reducing again!
Drinking water makes me hungry, but I also don't drink sugary drinks either as what helps out the most is cutting the sugar out period. Eating three meals a day is also outdated.
This video is on point. I user to drink 9 coke cans a day. In the process I got 6 cavities within just a few years. Not long after a tooth rotted. It's not worth it.
Wonderful video! I stopped drinking soda like 10 years ago and it was the best decision for my body. I only drink water, coffee and some occasional brisk here and there and maybe some wine lol that’s it! Majority water! My body will crave it! My throat gets dry asf and even starts hurting; my whole mouth is crusty asf lol idk how someone can ignore that feeling… I typically wake up and drink 8-16 oz of water before anything else.. I also sleep with my water bottle 🤣🤣❤️🔥
I’ve been drinking 3/4 cans for almost 17 years and my teeth are fine my weight is fine so idk 🤷🏻♂️
I’m 20, and have probably consumed 6-10 glasses of soda a day for the past 5 years, however I am actually underweight, do not have diabetes, my blood work is perfectly good, but the problems I do attribute to soda consumption would be having literally no enamel left on my teeth, and acne.
I've been drinking Coke Zero for 15+ years, no issues, however back when I used to drink regular soda, oh man, it was awful, now I can't stand drinking sugary drinks or I get nausea and headaches.
I do drink coke around 1.5 liters per day, until today, I'm going out to buy more now.
The coke for night and not being able to sleep until 6:00 AM is pretty accurate.
Beer also produces the uric acid to cause gout
This is why I'm trying one of those compressed cubes of fruit flavours to try cutting my pop amount from my can a day to every other day
I drink waaaay to much sugar (not daily for cans, but definitely for sugar). I also drink a TON of water, and brush my teeth minimum 2 or more times per day... Hopefully even out?
Hmm … In my OPINION (you don’t have to do what I say), I suggest you minimize the amount of sugars you are taking because like you said, you are saying that you drink “waaaay” too much. Also, that MIGHT eventually cause tooth decay and so on even though you’re drinking tons of water.
I stopped drinking Coke last summer when their company issued their statement on "How to be less white" That was it. That's all it took for me.

its called brush your teeth, take a bath, and get up and go outside every once in a while, eat healthy, and EVERY one of these wont happen.
also coke and salad are a GREAT combo. the sweetness and acidity, pair well with a nice spicy arugula salad.
