So you’re saying the limit is nine years?
I am seriously surprised he went 10 years without any major issues.
Dawg I know a few people that have done this for longer than 10. I don't know how they're alive.
The human body will put up with a lot....until it can't.
degenerative disease does that, it slowly stacks damage so slowly that people normalize the changes that happened because of it, there's also the fact that people have a tendency to only seek healthcare only on emergency instead of doing routine check ups
Diabetes should have ended them in 5 . The amount of no self control to drink that many liters of sugar is beyond crazy
It makes you wonder if he had some sort of malabsorption problem on top of everything else?
I'm glad to see the guy who died two episodes ago got better and became a doctor!
So there is an afterlife!

This video makes me SO HAPPY I stopped drinking soda as a kid. I still think about some of my old childhood friends and how they boasted about _never_ drinking water...I hope they're doing better about that now. Water all the way ♥

Quitting sugary sodas was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. Now I inject the raw high fructose corn syrup directly into my veins, instead. Much more cost effective.
I've thought about doing that. Or just pouring sugar directly into my eyeball.
Yeah It's far less harmful if you inject... obviously. I tend to inject Pepsi between my toes, directly into the veins. If only this man was educated.
@@TheJoelPlouffenah got to inject coke to coc k
I like using a mix of maple syrup and vanilla simple syrup for my veins. Just makes it tingle real good.
I'd rather have cane sugar than HFCS. The corn growers and farmers have sued repeatedly to try to bury the facts that it is indeed a poison to life.
I have been working hard on cutting back on soda (even if my addiction is nowhere near the very dangerous levels).
I used to be at around 2 cans a day, but after my dentist told me about acid damage on my upper front teeth, I went cold turkey on it.
Sadly, I've had multiple relapses (it's really hard not to, when it's on the dinner table EVERY DAY, because my dad still drinks it (he's an alcoholic too, but that's besides the point)), but I am still working on it.
I've noticed that when I reach the point of feeling thirsty, it is way harder to not grab a can of soda. That's why my main method of combatting this addiction is to make sure I'm hydrated, even when I don't feel thirsty for some reason.
I always used to feel slightly proud of the fact that I am "only" addicted to sugar and to soda, with me actively combatting the latter, and not alcohol, drugs, tobacco etc. but I'm starting to realise that the absence of other addictions doesn't make my current ones excusable.
Honestly 2 a day isn’t bad, I say it’s fine but then again I’m a lot worse than you. At my worst I was 12 cans a day and I’ve tried to quit it all together which led to incredible tiredness given my body has gotten used to to a lot of caffeine for years which had become the new normal. Right now I’m going for 2-3 a day with the end goal being 1 every 2-3 days.
Only two cans, that’s hardly a problem, but I get you in quitting, but as one who probably drank at least two 6-packs of Diet Coke a day for over 20-years, I successfully stopped. It’s been well over ten years since I’ve had a soda. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Good luck.
I try to limit myself to one a day and usually I am successful. I've also gained a liking for sparkling water
If it's the contents and not the soda itself, try to switch to alternatives. Like coffee or tea for caffeine.
Soda makes you more dehydrated I always make sure I get way after I’ve had soda
I’m so glad I found your channel. You explain things in the most understandable and eloquent way.
7 liters every day for at least a decade? It's actually amazing that it took that long before his body finally failed. Amazing how resilient the human body is.
_I'm more surprised his bones didn't turn into dust from all that soda intake...._
And he manages to recover after all that
@@djpegao Yes, all that phosphoric acid destroys your bones. It sucks the calcium right out of them.
Yeah, that would be ridiculous with water as well
@@cdru515People *have* died from drinking too much water (usually marathon runners) so like with most things, moderation is key
Hell yeah to the student who went to the effort to put together a defense of what he thought was going on after he noticed.
Well he wanted to impress his tutor. I don't think he really needed to if he just said - "Hey, I just found out the guy is drinking 24 cans of soda a day."
Just luck he was there to witness it.
@@CheepchipsableStill, it's good he said something. Plenty of times doctors don't give a shit.
If he hadn't the patient would probably be dead.

Skill issue + mald..
Well done Chubbyemu! Excellently explained and you succeeded in your warning others to look out for themselves.
The actor laying on his back to call 911 was too funny looking along with him sitting in the chair under all the soda cans with his eyes rolling back !
Yeah, he's a lot of fun. I also liked the "sugar cubes in the blood" shot.
Crazy how a habit can ramp up to that level of excess for some people. 7 litres is an unthinkable volume for most of us to contemplate.
Hell 7 liters of WATER is a lot for a normal person, I don't even know how you could fit that much liquid inside you in a day
That is 25,550 Liters Soda in that 10years. which is very much thinkable.
if you visualize it in volume of cubic meters that is 25.55 cubic meters of water, cubic meter = 1:1meters cube.
the general lenght of a lido ( bri'ish english open air pool ) is 25 meters.
( 50meters lenght and 25 width for those large sized pools used in olympics )
he drank that in 10years.
kidneys have left the chat.
Soda is intentionally addictive and depicted as a casual addition to any meal in the media, this man fell victim to the manipulation.
it is twice as much fluid as recommended, and damn close to being enough fluid to kill.
@@Xander1Sheridansomeone commented here that at one point he drank up to 36 cans a day. That's about 12 liters if he's talking about the 355ml ones. HOW

As a final year engineering student. I loved this, mad respect to all you docs out there. Is crazy how this video felt so similar to what I study even though it couldn’t be further apart…
I want to tell you the story of one of my roommates. This was back in 2021.
This guy NEVER drank water. In all the time I knew him, he only ever drank soda, or alcohol. Mostly soda. He'd go through 12-16 cans a day. To make matters worse, he was mostly sedentary. He had gout, which caused him a lot of pain just walking around. So he moved as little as he could get away with. Worked a job as a gatehouse security guard where he sat behind a desk all day, and when he was home, he slept or sat on the couch watching TV.
He died of a sudden heart attack one afternoon. I was the one who called the emergency services after my other roommate found him. He was only 43.
I can't say for sure that it was his dietary habits which caused his death, but he certainly didn't do himself any favours.
Drink water and exercise.
It astounds me that anyone can even make it past 25 without realizing you NEED to drink water.
Its pretty strong evidence in my case that humans are Not Equal. In fact some of us are truly below average intellectually.
I have CPTSD & as a teenager was misdiagnosed as bipolar & put on mood stabilizers. One of the side effects is this insane desire for sweet drinks. I was literally obsessed with soda & drank tons of it everyday. Then I decided to do some research bc I didn’t seem to be like the other bipolar ppl I met, & realized I prob wasn’t bipolar. I found a new Dr who agreed & took me off the mood stabilizer. I Lost my taste for sweet drinks and immediately lost that 30lbs I could never get rid of, and I felt amazing. I’d spent years constantly tired from the meds and the sugar & I had like this new lease on life. Unfortunately it didn’t last long bc I developed ME/CFS but for like two years I felt great. I don’t even drink juice now. I realized I like the fuzzy aspect of soda and bought a soda stream & I literally can’t stand sweet drinks anymore. But something I discovered is that a lot of psych meds give ppl insane cravings for sugar. If you ever notice a friend get diagnosed with a mental illness then gain a lot of weight, it’s the meds. I knew this tiny girl, like one of those girls who never gained weight. Had tiny bones and like no meat. She had a psychotic break and was put on a ton of meds and immediately became chubby. The cravings thise drugs give you are no joke. They can be a life saver for ppl with severe mental illness but they have a real downside. Like I’m now at a heightened risk of Parkinson’s disease when I get older bc of the drug I was on.
@@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother Humans are emotional machines, just like every other animal.
Loving the taste of sugar, of salt, of fats makes the animal want to find certain fruits, hunt of certain animals.
Nature has achieved a certain balance over millions of years.
Since the advancement of modern science, which happened around 1700, humans have solved a certain set of problems.
Now it has become easy to buy tons of sugar, salt, meats, etc.
I can go to the store and buy lots of coffee, cola drinks, salty chips. It feels good to eat such things.
Exercising doesn’t feel good. It is easier to sit around and get entertained with the TV.
First world problems :)
This is why ive been heavily avoidant towards "medication"
The drugs fu ck you up and they give you different drugs to cope. @@Comrade_mommy
i have a coworker that's like this. He's proud that he doesn't drink water, only eats meat, etc. His kidneys are definitely going to shut down one day. His diet is absolute trash. He proudly states he does not eat vegetables. It's insane to me. There are a ton of folks like him in the united states. You don't even need to exercise, just go for walks of at least 30 minutes in length once or twice a day. Be active, do chores, move around, etc. If you can work in some strenuous activity that's great but really not required, same with some resistance training.
I was highly addicted to sugar my whole childhood. People around me (family, doctors..) not only allowed it, but supported it. I looked skinny. Most of it came from sodas containing caffeine, which in turn promoted muscle loss and insuline resistence, as is said in the video. When I was ~22, I was hospitalized with severe arrhythmia. They never found out what was happening to me, but the only thing that had changed was fluid intake and no suggar/caffein intake. That one day of my life my diet was back to normal and it had HUGE positive consequences on how i felt and my heart's condition. Since then I avoid sugar and caffeine. I'm getting rid of niccotine and alcohol too completely. I will be one healthy human.
“Positive consequences “ that there is an oxymoron. Make it make sense
@@ALEXdaGa consequence doesn't have to be negative!
No such thing as a sugar addiction, I wish people would quit calling everything an addiction just because they can't or won't stay away from something. Unless it's something your actually brain or body has to have without having withdrawals, then it's not an addiction. Sugar is not one of them.
@@up0820the medical definition is different than the common usage people can have an addiction to anything if you're not looking at specifically the medical definition, and also an addiction is not only about the chemicals it's about the mental impact. I think what you're thinking about is addictive substances
@@up0820You are addicted to anything your body craves and is dependent on. Physiologically and psychologically, they're two different descriptions, but you absolutely can get addicted to sugar.
OK DOC, you got a new subscriber. I have a ton of knowledge on human anatomy, but little on its various functions. This should help me immensely.
Absolutely love your video as always
A long time friend of mine passed away a few years ago due to colon cancer. He was addicted to soda. Even when they removed a part of he large intestine, the surgeon told him no soda for at least three days. My friend didn't listen and went down to the cafeteria and got a bottle of soda the day after surgery. He even called the cafeteria before he was admitted to see if they sold the soda he liked. That's die hard addiction. He passed way at the age of 47.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. And very sorry he didn’t listen to his surgeon.
@@imnoteamplayer Thank you. He didn't listen to his family and friends either
He didn't drink ANY WATER?!
addicts really dont care what people say if the way to what they want is open... its sad to see, sorry for your loss
@@clydecraft5642 I've got two addictions, curtailing consumption causing PVCs enough to toy around with v-tach. Caffeine and nicotine.
Around the first peak of COVID-19 hospitalizations, I was hospitalized with a form of heart failure, caused by a thyroid storm. With the storm managed, I began to rapidly recover. About the point where I tried to sneak out for a smoke, well, the staff had a chuckle (one of my nurses literally caught me at the exit to the building as she was coming on shift, the nurse administrator having a jolly laugh over the whole thing) and knew I was pretty well recovered. Two days later, I was discharged.
As for soda, I prefer my water plain and might, just maybe, have one soda per day and usually, it's only once per week.
I do drink a lot less caffeine, primarily coffee, due to damage to one heart valve from, despite being vaccinated and boostered, COVID. I shudder to think what would've been damaged or destroyed without that vaccine to blunt the worst of the infection!
It never ceases to amaze me that so many people in the world have such insane habits like drinking gallons of soda every day. In ways it makes me worry that I might have weird tendencies like that without actually thinking anything of it.
Oh, you see, those habits all start out small and insignificant and slowly increase to absurd proportions over years and years. Think about hoarders, for example - it doesn't start out with them filling up whole rooms with garbage and climbing over cartons just to access their beds, no, it starts out with nothing but a slightly messy room. Someone who drinks a lot of soda maybe starts with a can a day, and then it slowly becomes an addiction that requires them to drink gallons of it every day. An alcoholic might start off with a few glasses of beer with his friends every weekend; a chainsmoker starts off by smoking one or two cigarettes during lunch break. It's the classic example of "boiling the frog" - if you increase the abnormality of a behavior slowly enough, the affected won't notice how dangerous it has become.
What’s weird to me is how grown ass adults who never drink water don’t see anything wrong when they all of a sudden start urinating a crapton more than usual. It’s not always a sign of an oncoming shitstorm, but it’s definitely something you need to be paying attention to
Humans are weird man. It's okay to be off. But goddamn 7 liters!!! I've done every drug imaginable for a lot longer than I probably should have but even in my 40's I look 10 years younger than a lot of others my age. I drink a shit load of water ever since I was a kid. I have all my teeth, all my hair no medical issues, very little white/grey hair almost 20/20 vision. I ate like crap and still don't eat totally that good but I always go on walks and I work in scenic shops in NYC and take the train which is pretty physical sometimes if not all the time. Water, water, water. It'll keep you young. Oh and not having kids probably helps haha.
It’s been proven that sugar is more addicting to the body than cocaine. Drinking sugar makes you feel like crap, but to feel better you go for that instant hit when you drink it, and you have to keep drinking it to feel functional
@@bongwelll I don't agree with the drug part but not having kids definitely helps. I don't know how many years younger I look but I can bet it's all due to no kids, some fun.
"his normal morning soda." yea.. like you do.
I remember my brother getting hospitalized for hypokalemia. We both had sweet soda addiction problem, the main difference is me having a less sedentary lifestyle back then. Thanks for sharing this story. It's good reminder to lower the soda consumption.
Who would have known drinking soda so much for 10 years would make you sick. That's _Soda-pressing_
ba dum psss lol
Idk if that joke is really good or really bad
I'm going with good, in a kid joke kinda way.
Lol, that joke is corny and so is the high fructose corn syrup.
Boooooo 🙌🏼
I drank 4+ sodas a day for 6 years. I quit 6 months ago and I'm very proud
how bad are your teeth
Congrats brother. Sugar is poison
Sugar may seem benign compared to other substances but it seems to still be habit forming and dangerous in excess. Congratulations on making positive changes, keep it up!
I used to drink about as much too. I’ve been eating healthier and generally paying more attention to nutrition facts. It’s obscene how much sugar is in 1 can of soda
Congrats, great job! A lot of people don't realize how unhealthy and addictive that much sugar and caffeine can be. So in case you haven't heard it: I'm proud of you, stranger. I really am, and I wish you good health!
I love this dude when he is the actor, he just makes me laugh even tho the situation is serious.
I love the actors too 😂great job on the hair on this one 😅
I used to have a major soda problem up until last year. I was drinking roughly 30-36 cans a day. Luckily, I had friends that cared about me, and they pushed me to just 5. I did it the dumb way though, and went from all to just the 5. When I say the headaches, irritability, and just easy agitation at even the tines things while I went through the major withdrawals for that first week and a half was a pain, it really really was. I'm now down to 2 cans a day, and feeling significantly better and actualy have more energy.
Check up on your soda overdrinking friends. Give them the push to cut back.
Flavored carbonated water kicked my soda habit. Try it out. Way cheaper too. Costco has the best value but La Croix is the best tasting.
To me, the bubble water is “good enough”.
Good job and good luck!
PSA, ALL BUBBLE WATERS HAVE PFAS IN THEM. THERES STUDIES AND VIDEOS OUT THERE. MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION
30-36 holy crap. Even 5 or so feels like a big stretch.
here i thought my can a day was too much lol
Drink clear american sparkling water from Walmart taste just like soda but healthy
Was wondering where my fellow soda addicts were. Some of us can just handle that much without any medical issues, at least at first lol. I went over 10 years with a minimum of 20 cans a day. I had pre-diabetes, and was overweight ofc, but I never really had any serious medical issues, or any problems with my kidneys. I eventually quit just because it was too difficult to maintain cost-wise, and I got with a partner who cared about my health. I still drink one here or there but never on a daily basis! No idea if I have any kind of damage from my poor lifestyle choices, as I haven't been able to afford a doctor in years and that won't change unless the US medical complex changes.
I can't imagine drinking 7 liters of any sort of liquid every day. Jesus.
The thought of it literally gives me the shakes and I'm SO happy I don't drink soda daily like I used to and found that water is all that can keep me running. Sure I may have any sugary drink probably once in awhile, but I've learned to develop self control in what I consume.
I was looking for such a comment. Even low mineral water seems seems too much... maybe on some hot days if doing some physical activity but still if you'd need it over a long period of time it's related to something that will cause consequences.
its less than I drink some days, granted none of my intake is sugary in nature. Just plain carbonated water most of the time
Come to Arizona. Working or exercising outdoors can necessitate dinking more than ten liters of water a day. I used to weigh myself before cycling in summer and after I returned. I filled a jug with a pint of water for every pound I lost; sometimes a one hour ride would leave me 4-5 liters light, even when I had finished off my 1 liter water bottle once or twice.
I drink one can of soda every three months 😅😅😅
i was born with Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, this is the first big video ive seen thats mentioned it, i dont know why but that makes me feel good so thank you!
i am a IT student . i just like watching chubbyemu med videos . they are reaally informative and helps me know about human body and chemistry .
It always floors me how easy it is for people to waltz in to hospital rooms with the exact thing that is hurting their patients. Just saw an episode of my 600 pound life where the patient's boyfriend brought an entire pizza into the bariatric unit. I know that staff aren't able to micromanage every little detail of their unit but they have to see the obvious threat with enablers.
They really can't legally stop it as long as they're deemed legally competent and no one has power of attorney over them. They can tell the person not to do it, but unless it's drugs or alcohol, the hospital staff can't really stop the patient from doing what they want or stop their friends or family from bringing them things they've been told not to have. That's why bariatric surgery isn't often successful. You still have to have willpower and be willing to change your habits and more often, they're not.
@@upinarms79 Hospitals can absolutely kick out any unwanted visitors, this is why they have security guards. It would be a violation of their Hippocratic oath not to do so if they know it's happening. I know this personally since I was caught with extra prescription bottles of the same drug they were already giving me for maintenece (doubling up) they didn't allow any visitors from that point thinking someone brought them in. It wasn't illegal since I was legally prescribed them but it was a hazard to my health and they had to do it. That move probably saved my life.
I saw something similar when on a CTG monitor in the pregnancy ward. Someone with gestational diabetes drank 3 cans of full fat coke in the space of half an hour while I was there. The midwifes didn't say anything but I felt an air of judgement
@@Likes_Trains full fat coke...

Actual dictatorship
Cause it’s not healthy for your body
@@notemma_plays6756I understand you are a child, but these are called jokes.
@@harambemclovin8347 I was just saying
This episode genuinely scares me because I’ve been drinking soda daily for the past 2 years, with random ‘no soda days’ in between. My daily intake is like 2 cans though rarely do I get to 4 cans. Soda is damn addictive. It’s not the caffeine (some brands I drink don’t have it), it’s not the sugar, it’s the carbonation. I’m looking into sparkling water mixed with my daily OJ or whatever fresh juice I have, but sparkling water supply is limited. This addiction is annoying, if anything.
2 cans I dont think will hurt you too much. These people are drinking way more than that.
don't listen to that other guy. people get diabetes every day from drinking any amount of soda daily. fruit juice is good to slowly wean yourself off but it's also spikes your blood sugar because it lacks the fiber that whole fruit does. i'd suggest slowly cutting back your daily sugar intake. eventually you won't crave it anymore
Damn, I actually feel myself in this situation. I used to drink like 1.5-2 litters of soda every day for a few years. Then I had a 5 years break and last year I started again and recently I''ve been trying to quit it. If I had unlimitted soda in an office I would just drink as much as I could lol. Poor guy. A good example for me not to start drinking soda again.
I feel this. My parents never drank water, and drank 8 cans of coke a day. my mother has had acute kidney failure bc of the sodas. When I was a teen I finally realised our diet wasn’t normal. I try my best to keep to 1-2 sodas a day. It’s my only addiction; no smoking, drinking, gambling, not even coffee etc. I know I should drink less. Rooting for you! it’s wild how addicting it is, and I’m definitely bookmarking this video as a reminder!
Dont worry I drink 4,5l a day and take the highest legally amount of ritalin you can get prescribed a day for 8 years now. I most likely will not get very old but for now every blood test is perfectly fine no sign of damage
@@rhyserian5406 thank you, I will be rooting for you too. If I was asked to recomend something in quiting it would be making lemon water. I just take a 1.5 litter bottle and put there a tiny (like really small not to make it too sour) piece of lemon or a slice or orange. It helps to make water feel more like you know substantial and try to drink it instead of coke. This one actually has some vitamins unlike god know what the f like in fanta which promotes itself having some juice.
@@user-mj8bg3fw8w that is worrying
I won't tell you how to live your life, but if you have a change of heart, go with it
same, the past 2 years ive also had quite a problem, where id go to the supermarket and buy a full 1,5l coke a day. i also like the guy in the vid would wake up and drink coke 1st thing in the morning. ive managed to somewhat quit for monetary reasons though.
The resilience of the body to be able to deal with ten years of seven liters a day of soda...
Yes, but he made just "a recovery", not a full one.
@@winniewinner4545 true and he was already a diabetic for years before ending up in the hospital
If I drank that for even a month I would be dead
I went more than 8 months without receiving videos of this wonderful doctor on his Spanish channel. I thought he had already retired from RUclips and I missed him a lot. Until I found his original English channel and found out that he never left. Now I see it with subtitles. 🥺 Saludos desde Argentina. 🇦🇷 🙋🏻♂️
My wife has been doing this, but I have got her to dramatically cut down... I'm trying to show her things like this, because she lacks the understanding of these issues. God bless this Doc that has this channel. Waiting for her to wake up to show her! Thanks buddy!
My dad used to make us go buy 2L soda bottles twice a day. This happened for many years until one day, he had to be taken to the hospital. His sugar levels were insanely high, if he hadn’t shown up within half an hour, he’d be dead. He would have many trips to the hospital and still, unfortunately, he ended up needing dialysis in 2021. He only lasted one year on it and passed away in 2022. Please, people, limit the amount of soda you drink.
There probably should be health warnings on sugary carbonated drinks. It will also destroy peoples teeth long before it causes kidney damage.
no sodas pal, only water and mate

It's an addiction. I read somewhere that sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine
@@danpal6737💯💯💯yes! There’s never a reason to drink soda.
I had a friend who was a diabetic,and ended up in the hospital with low potassium. He did not drink this much soda,but he drank it till he died of a heart attack in his sleep.

Thank you sir for this video. I have been having these very issues getting progressively worse for the last 3 years. I have weakness in every muscle. I urinate gallons a day. And have drank diet drinks for 30 years at very similar levels as his. No doctor has been able to tell me why. I had these issues. I just stopped drinking drinks last week on my on. And suffered 4 days with a migraine. I also drink large amounts of flavored water every day some nights nearly a gallon. l also started to take potassium for the muscle cramps. I did this on my on. This video has given a lot of reasons to believe this is what my issue has been. Thank you for what you do.
I'm 31 and I had my first kindey stone a couple months back.
I found out later that it was a tiny one,
but it still had me rolling around on the floor, moaning.
I consume very little sugar in my diet but at that time in my life I was drinking hardly any water.
Needless to say it wasn't long after that I went out and bought a 2L bottle with built-in straw.
I fill it with water when I wake up, and it stays on my desk within arm's reach all day.
I have never had kidney stones or any other similar problem, but I did suffer from headaches A LOT as a kid. My best friend in gradeschool always carried a big water bottle with her, and I started doing the same. I always have it within arm's reach, and I end up drinking a lot more water for it. And, surprise surprise- my near-constant headaches all but went away! I still get migraines, but those are from other causes. My daily dehydration headaches are no more.
I would genuinely recommend to EVERYONE that they keep a large water bottle on hand at all times. Saved me a lot of misery, and considering the prevalence of mild chronic dehydration, I bet it would help a lot of other people, too
Doctors can recommend a kidney stone reducing diet. There’s more to it than just drinking more water. Although drinking plain water is certainly a great start. 🤞
You should consider adding a bit of lemon to the water. I also have kidney stones and my urologist always asks if I've drunk some lemonade to help with dissolution.
I also haven't had a kidney stone yet, though my dad has.
I absolutely agree with marcom on this, after I started using a reusable water bottle I never want to go back. Without it it's so easy to just not drink enough water because drinking from a water fountain is inconvenient or I had to get to my next class. As a result, I would often get headaches, and often get migraines. In my case, my migraines do seem to have some connection to hydration, and to stress, and just being able to drink water whenever I wanted to led to me getting migraines quite a bit less often, though this might have also been age-related. Though on the other hand, random headaches have become very rare for me, which has been great.
I got a kidney stone from being dehydrated. I take some meds that make it easy for me to get dehydrated. The pain was on par with childbirth. Kidney stones are no joke
I had a 25yo friend in the '90s that was dealing with multiple kidney stones. He had been told it was because of him drinking a case of dark cola a day regularly. (Something in dark colas caused the kidney stones) He switched to non-cola sodas which stopped the kidney stones, but I doubt his body did well with this continual consumption of sugar water. Seeing such nasty health impacts as such a young age terrified me and I've never forgotten about it.
Caffeine is in most dark cola sodas. Something like ginger ale does not have caffeine
@@Talador12 Blaming it all on caffeine alone is like smoking cigarettes and blaming cancer on burning paper, it just makes zero sense. Sodas are soup of harmful chemicals, caffeine being probably the least harmful.
I am drinking one diet coke can a day everyday at night for a while now and I am scared. I have been fairly constipated too.
@@SomnathBhattacharjeewwe Stop with zero for at least a week or two and then alternate between sugary and zero more often. Zero has that effect on me too sometimes especially when I drink it often and/or in higher contents.
@5xt You sound eerily like my friend did. He had lots of strategies to combat the heath issues, but none of his strategies ever involved actually stopping drinking the garbage. It was always "I can drink this type instead of that type."
Just discovered and I’m on my third video already. This is amazing info being shared here.

If he was drinking that much soda every day for 10 years then I don't even want to begin to imagine how horrible of a state his teeth were in
Not as tied as sold, personal hygiene will greatly affect the outcome. I’m welsh decent (bad teeth) and drink 2ish liters of soda a day for about 25 years. I have had some teeth issues, but I have all but 2 of my real teeth and right now, only 1 minor cavity set to be filled soon. Im 41.

As long as he brushed his teeth regularly everyday
@@yOGlo Me in this case, and I do 1-2 times, plus daily mouthwash. My dad lost all his in his early 30’s from beer and not brushing. Hygiene strongly affects the outcome. Now would my teeth have lasted even longer without 25 years of soda? Sure. That’s probably a safe bet.
@@yOGlobrushing your teeth and flossing reduces the bacteria in your mouth. The caries bacteria in your mouth is trouble because they consume sugars and secrete acids, weakening and eventually eroding your enamel and tooth bone. Minimising the bacteria doesn't do more than a mosquitoe's fart when you're bathing your teeth in an acidic solution all day every day all on your own. Even if he chewed xylitol gum after every can this would be an enormous erosive load from the sheer volume and frequency of acid attacks.
Back in highschool, I was a chubby kid eating 3 packets of ramen AT ONCE, and drinking at least 4 cans of soda daily. Not to mention sitting around playing CoD without much physical activity. One day, I put the plate down, and felt a severe chest pain that radiated to my left arm. I wasn't a medical student back then, but I knew what was going on. When the pain thankfully went away, I stopped consuming ramen and soda cold turkey. I lost 22lbs in 2 months just from that. 10 years later today, I absolutely hate ramen and soda when I taste them.

Excellent Analysis, Deployed Worldwide Through My Deep Learning AI Research Library… Thank You
I really like how the student made sure to research what was going on with his patient, what a great doctor
It’s so stupid that the doctors didn’t ask the patient to list everything he consumed in the last 2 weeks. It would be helpful for any doctor trying to figure out what’s going on. Is this politically incorrect to ask nowadays?
@@psalmreader8049I want to know if his wife was stupid (or they both were) or if she was trying to get that life insurance payout... As if she didn't know the soda was basically killing him!
@@psalmreader8049sometimes it's not just about asking patients as in case of B.A here, mostly patients know all this is to be informed to the medical experts when ending up on a hospital bed near to death, but unfortunately sometimes patients are soo DUMB!, that they simply wanna hide there history...
An then they wanna blame it up on doctors, when they die due to there own stupidity!
Imagine how people can go to the church an simply make confessions when they have never even seen God with there own eyes,but simply wanna hide there miserable actions frm someone who is standing in front of them to readily save there life..
@@psalmreader8049 I assume the doctors had more serious tasks at hand and they thought that supplementing potassium and fluids would eventually solve the problem - probably dehydration , it got low priority at first... but later they switched focus on him, because his case didn't improve, it actually got worse. Students just have more time to be around and ask questions. I had the same thing a year ago when I was hospitalized during weekend. They ran tests but doctors didn't communicate with me, they only gave me blood transfusions since I had very low hemoglobin levels - pernicious anemia. On Monday I was attended by 2 students from Norway and they asked me million of questions. Later my doctor came and asked me a couple of key questions and I was home by Wednesday with ordered treatment.
@@psalmreader8049 I think it's also stupid that the patient didn't bring it up. The patient CLEARLY knew it was an addiction and something is wrong... but then keeps it silence?
LOL what?
Love the actors who play BA and the doctor, who were also in the food truck episode, are a riot and very enjoyable to watch. You gotta use these guy on more episodes. Not to make light on people's bad experiences with health issues, but when you have extreme cases with stubborn, or ignorant people it could be very effective.

This case reminds me of my aunt and my cousin. They used to drink at least 2 liters of Coke every day until I watched Wall-E as a kid and looked up the adverse effects of soda and told them that their bones would start shrinking. Sure enough, they started drinking less soda and my cousin even quit altogether, save for having the occasional can. They went from being pretty big to being much smaller weight-wise.
Excessive soda is very much a problem. America's soda habits being adopted by foreign countries is becoming a huge problem (my family is from Brazil)
Mexico is the worst off right now. They drink more coke per person than even the US. That's due to directed advertising and that the prices were dirt cheap around the 70's among other reasons, like politics. Sad to see a mother giving their baby some coke
Aw! Nice story, you should go into public health lol. The world needs people out there who know how to convince the public that it's really worth it to better their lifestyles!
Soda consumption is actually far more common in south America than north America. These days, in North America, we seem to prefer poisoning ourselves with seed oils and pesticides instead.
Edit: and how could I forget about the microplastics!
this is big water propaganda
@@stellviahohenheim Trust me, I don't drink a lot of water myself. If I have to drink water, I'll add fruit to it or I'll mix it with Liquid IV. Otherwise I drink juice that doesn't have added sugar in it or I'll drink milk
I used to drink a lot of soda, then I went to basic training for 2 months. After I got out, I tried my favorite drink and it tasted like straight up corn syrup. I couldn't imagine going back to drinking soda daily. It's a nice occasional sweet treat, but not a daily requirement!
I accidentally got sweet tea one day. It was downright nasty. I threw it in the nearest bin.
I love how you mock the HR lady; “Great - Place - to Work” 😂

I've switched to mostly water. Even when I did drink soda, it was never THAT much.
I drink one can a day now. My dog and I go for a walk up to eight times a day. We're both getting pretty fit legs.
No normal person would drink 7 liters of soda a day. Its already hard to drink 2 liters as is
Same here. I really only have about 2 sodas a year
I have a pot of coffee in the morning and water throughout the rest of the day. Helps that Dad has an icemaker upstairs and filtered water right in the fridge door, and I have a one-handed cup with flip up lockable straw!
@SarafinaSummers I drink one Monster a day (sugar free) for caffeine and then switch to water. I will occasionally have a sugar free soda if there's nothing else. But I've been trying to avoid having more than one caffeinated drink a day.
Must have been a big man to be able to accommodate 7kg of soda per day and not be incapacitated. Also, nice to see Sketchy-food-van-man’s side hustle pay off, that’s presumably how he financed his medical education. That and the life insurance payout he could claim after dying a couple of episodes ago!
Powdered soda is the best
I appreciate the reality and truth from a medical professional (or Chubbyemu) because what i learned in anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 correlates with this case study. Do not believe everything on the internet. Thank you for a video that does not influence or teach idiocracy (like the videos for challenging to steal or cause problems towards humanity). More power to you Chubbyemu. Thank you.
I love your vids. What I'm mostly gathering from all of the ones I've watched is: Don't take huge amounts of things that are terrible for you lol.
I rarely drink soda, but I do eat WAY too much sugar for my own good. I'm in my mid-30's and very slim, so I've never really taken the long-term health ramifications seriously... It's hard to when they're not visible. This video, with its rather terrifying description of what excess sugar does to the kidneys, is quite the wake-up call. I definitely need to start moderating my sugar intake.
there's a phrase called skinny-fat. It refers to people who are of a healthy weight but have the health of someone that's obese. A ton of people nowadays fall into this category of skinny-fat because their lifestyle is extremely sedentary. They lack muscle mass, they never exercise, their bone health is pretty bad, etc but because they're not overweight they consider themselves healthy.
@@CRneu Yes skinny fat is real. I was shocked to learn at age 41, 5'8", 150lbs (in the normal BMI range for my height) with a DEXA scan that I had over 30% body fat, which classified me as "obese". This also meant that my muscle mass was really low. Around this time, I also learned that I had slightly elevated triglycerides and a huge (2cm) gallstone.
I have always considered myself to be a very healthy eater. I'm not like a frequent french fry and ice cream eater, or something like that. I almost never drink soda. I very seldom drink alcohol (
I replaced my sugar intake with fruits. I love the strawberry mango combination. So good. Also, you feel great when you do it consistently. One day I do kiwi strawberry. Other days I do strawberry with blueberries, or blueberries with pineapple. All organic. With these I would have pumpkin seeds and a variety of nuts (macadamia, almond, cashew, peanuts). This would be my lunch. I did this for 2 months and my body felt like I was in my 20's. Also, you use the bathroom more consistently. I'm turning 38. Gotta take care of your body man.
You can get a body composition scan that assesses your body fat percentage and tells you how much visceral fat you have (that is, fat surrounding your organs - those with higher levels of visceral fat are what we call "skinny fat"). If you're moderately-highly active it's possible you're burning the sugar efficiently, I think a lot of people who eat "normally" and don't get fast food everyday aren't over eating as much as they're eating their macros in the wrong ratios.
😂
I have a soda addiction, and switched to diet years ago. I was cutting sugar massively in general and lost 20-25 lbs. A few years later I took up weight lifting twice a week, and work jobs that have me physically active.
But dude, 7 liters a day? Holy shit that's a nuts number. I think I've drank 3 a couple times in a seven year period, *maybe*, and sometimes 2, but I restrict soda and caffeine intake on my work days to sleep properly, and just cut myself off after a point not to stay up too late. I can't imagine drinking 7 in a day, ever. Not even close.
Yeah, I think the most I can drink is two cans per day lol.
Do be aware aspartame is its own can of worms
In my 20s I used to drink those huge diet big gulps in 7-11.. I didn't know it could mess up my kidneys but I got a blood test for an insurance policy.. That blood test told me something about excessive aspartame consumption they didn't tell me.. Only that I needed to abstain from all sodas for 4 months to get a clean test. The test with high diet cola consumption made me blood enzymes look like I was a heavy smoker, a heavy drinker & or a hard drug user when I never touched ANY of those things. Later, 20 years later, I found out that a few cans of the diet sodas are not only addictive but metholate the blood as much as SMOKING cigarettes! I have stopped drinking that crap back in 2009..and have regained my health.
@@bassbusterxIt's not as bad as it's made out to be. I drink Pepsi Zero just about every day, and I generally feel pretty good. I also get exercise regularly too though.
exactly. drinking 7 litres of anything every day is crazy
i have the same issues as this guy, crazy to know soda does what it does, need to switch to water only, thanks so much man.
I knew a co-worker who basically went through several 24-pack of Pepsi each week. He would get up just to drink Pepsi like he was an alcoholic. His health was so bad even though he was a very skinny guy but had to use a cane in his early 60s and eventually had to quit Pepsi cold turkey 😢 But last I heard he was doing better as much as he struggled with years of such bad habits.
If I didn't watch this video, I wouldn't have known that the scientific names for different types of diabetes are based on the difference in the patients' urine taste

Even better when he's listened to.
Caffeine can do all that! I always thought coffee was a rather healthy beverage. But I did run into this problem recently. Similar but not quite as bad. I discovered it by eliminating what I was consuming until I found relief. I switched to decaf coffee. Recovering right now. Thanks and your quiz questions are so much fun.
Drinking 7 litres a day for 10 years is 25,500 litres of soda
It's terrifying how many people suffer from the amount of soda they drink and don't understand that it's the soda that is causing their health problems. Trying to explain it usually shows that they are in complete denial about it. There's a few people I'm very concerned about but you can't force people to get medical treatment for addiction. It's stressful to watch a person slowly kill themselves with these drinks. Everyone thinks the only medically dangerous addictions are illegal drugs, alchohol and tobacco. Thank you so much for bringing attention and public awareness about the dangers of soda addiction.
many also dont care, theyll do anything but remove the actual problem sometimes
@@tripplefives1402 msg is an addictive drug. it literally looks like cocaine when in powder form
nobody is denying caffeine is addictive, its just that how a chemical looks does not say much about how it behaves
@@tripplefives1402pretty sure "doing a line" of caffeine would just straight up kill you though, a lot more potent than cocaine
@@tripplefives1402 Correlation does not imply causation. Table salt also looks like tiny white crystals when powdered and you still need that stuff to live (in moderation).
I don't understand why people choose soda over alcohol. If u like fizz drink beer or cider or just bubbly water
I've had a bit of a soda problem. I realized in hind sight I would use diet coke as a hunger suppressant (get full on it) so I didn't get hungry. Here is to being a chubby kid! At one point I was drinking ~1 gallon of diet coke a day. I know that wasn't great for me, but I did always know I wasn't adding sugar to my body. I've since cut down and I really drink it mostly for flavor, I find it "refreshing" and "relaxing" after all of the years.
That said, my body know when I'm low/high on sodium. I realized when soda tastes "bitter" I realize I need water, and my body will often "jones" for it, when I'm low on sodium.
That said I'll never forget being in high school. A girl told me I'll get cancer from Diet Coke. I pointed out that she was currently smoking. She laughed and said "Yeah, but I'll die from cool person cancer."
That woman lives rent free in mind to this day, because it's my Platonic example of stupidity.
Cool person cancer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
cool person cancer, cool guy syndrome's more aggressive cousin
ok that last part is kinda funny lol. and yeah its pretty wierd what your body does when its craving something. once i was randomly craving a burger when i was getting chemo... i never fucking eat burgers lol (i just dont like em). but that 1 burger was like the best thing to happen to me lol. and i think its bc then i was a bit protein depleted or something. and the other week i was at school and i was practically dying from overheating i think (it was a combo of that and i finished chemo like the day before). so instead of going for a sparkling ice like i normally do, i bought a normal water instead. and then chugged it in 5 seconds. yeah. oh also i was carb depleted to shit too somehow (i biked to school that morning so its probably that).
and even after a long bike ride (like 10-20 miles), normally i have some water or maybe a soda, but once i was so glucose depleted i straight chugged a coke in literally 3 seconds, not even paying attention to the carbonation. yep really.
Aspartame only showed cancer in pregnant mice in that study. My father was one of the scientists running that experiment. I drink caffeine free diet soda and it’s not a diuretic for me. The caffeine is what causes frequent urination.

This is modern art. I love everything about these videos. The reoccurring themes, the acting, the vocabulary lessons. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
I love watching content like this just for the small tidbits of knowledge I can pick up
I can testify that soda is extremely addictive. For me, it started while I was studying and up late at 24hour internet cafes trying to finish my work. I of course thought that diet options would save me, but the caffeine makes you crave more, and I've read studies that say diet sweeteners send the same signals to the brain and illicit the same responses and weight gain. It is a never ending battle for me. I have been on and off soda for a while. At my worst, I was drinking up to 2L a day. I had gout, fatigue, acid reflux, bad breath, was anxious, and got bad headaches if I stopped. It took several attempts before finally getting off. I relapsed last month and am struggling to get back off it. It really feels like I'm an alcoholic. I know people say it is crazy to have a dependence like this, but it really does sneak up on you and is far less thought about compared to smoking or alcohol. I have lots of friends in similar situations and I completely agree that soda is the new nicotine. Right now I'm so dang thirsty and craving a soda, but I know I must stay strong and be there for my son. 😞
Sodas like Coke genuinely taste disgusting for me and it's probably because i used to drink vodka cokes, maybe try them when you drink and you'll associate them with the disgusting vodka taste
If you workout regularly you tend to also genuinely really need water and so the thirstiness makes you really enjoy having water
These might help, as I'm the polar opposite of you with sodas 😂
@@nonono9194Vodka is nothing but watered down cleaning alcohol, with some contaminants.
I’m so sorry to hear about your ongoing struggle :(. It’s especially so frustrating to hear that something like soda is just so legal and accessible to everyone, you know? Or rather, that companies are ALLOWED to put THAT much sugar into drinks at all! It’s predatory…
Try drinking a gallon of water per day. That’s how I got rid of the thirst. I also took cold showers everyday to create discipline and learn to control my mind by doing something I didn’t want to do
@@yeahyeah9193 A gallon is a bit much. There is danger of diluting your electrolytes too much and that can cause more harm than good. The advised amount is 2-3 liters per day, or 4-6 pints per day, and even then make sure you top up on electrolytes.
I'm 64 and fragile as a baby. Everything in this video I'm hearing for the first time in my life and it all makes sense. From now on no more fizzy drinks, products containing caffeine or sugar. I don't want to die. I'm too young.
Hope you're doing well! A healthy diet and exercise can make a difference at any age.
I remember when my father had cancer and drank a ton of soda. I tried to tell him he shouldn't be doing that even if he was healthy, and it's so much worse in his condition. However, his doctor told him soda was harmless, and he could drink as much as he wanted. I told him his doctor was an idiot, and he said I knew nothing because I wasn't a doctor. It didn't end well for him.
Probably one of the doctors that claimed Chesterfields or Lucky Strikes were good for the health in the 1950s too.
It's sad to hear how many doctors do not understand what healthy is, and how important our body's condition is.
Also, many people misunderstand or forget the doctor's advice.
My father in law recently broke multiple vertibrae in his back, and I was there when the doctor told him he could not lift things or even laugh deeply for at least eight weeks. And IF he's good, it will heal alright.
But now he claims he can do everything he usually does, and that it will heal perfectly on its own...
When I remind him, I must have heard it wrong, also: "You're not a doctor, what do you know?" And:" I'll feel it when I overdo it"
I know he won't, the broken pieces will angle away slowly and he will need surgery to fix it.
And who will have to hear the sob story then? Right, and it'll probably be my fault too for not warning him enough...
That doctor is indeed an idiot
High sugar diet would fuel cancer as they uptake sugar more often than normal cells
That doctor is extremely idiotic
"it didn't end well for him"
Did you kick the doctors ass or something
For the last 3 years I've been struggling with excessive thirst and urination. I've told my doctor numerous times and they kept testing me for diabetes, urinary tract infections and kidney problems with no diagnosis. Eventually they found I had graves disease which was contributing to the problem, but now that my graves disease is under control, the excessive urination and thirst hasn't gone away, and my endocrinologist thinks I may have diabetes insipidus. I tried cutting out caffeine for a couple of months, but it didn't make any noticable difference to my symptoms. I live in a country where health services are under a lot of strain at the moment so it's a struggle getting any progress, but I'm hoping to eventually get my diagnosis and get it under control.
Wishing you the best of luck in investigating and treating the issues you're having!
excessive thirst is one of the biggest indicators, but there are some others as well. It also matters what you drink and how much.
i haven't seen a case of DI since pediatric endocrine rotation at a central hospital years ago, it's so rare. they're treated with desmopressin. i hope you can get your diagnosis & treatment soon, best of luck
@@binary964my father had DI caused by a lesion on his pituitary stalk. Funny enough, that lesion lead to a biopsy that would eventually cause demise. Not because of any of his obscure medical issues, but because the surgeon messed up and then he bled on his brain in recovery for 2 hours. He lived for 16 years after with major disabilities and just passed a few weeks ago at 64 due to consistent infections that became unmanageable. He had DI the whole time, managed with desmopressin.
A pray you are well!
lots of dedication at 2:50 for that shot of laying down covered in soda cans 😊

Thanks to your video I now know why you get drowsy after eating sugar! It's because of the adenase release caused by the loss of water in the kidneys caused by sugar... I felt so good just having that "ah" moment :)
Excellent video
This guy used to work with me who would drink nothing but soda; we work outside in the Texas summer heat and humidity. I can't, for the life of me understand why he would never drink water. He would need to go to the restroom several times a day and was very overweight (5'9" 300lbs). The dude would always be complaining about having migraines and he started to miss like 3 days of work a week. I don't know how many times I told him that he needed to stop drinking soda and start eating better (He also ate nothing but junk, hated vegetables you know the drill). Anyway, it ended up getting so bad that he had to move himself and his family back to his parents in California. Haven't heard from him since. I wish he would just watch something like this and get the picture of what he is doing to his body.
lotta ppl just dont care. theyd rather have their tastey trash, than ever consider getting better in the easiest way
Im so glad you covered this! I was going to ask as my dad nearly died a few years ago when he ended up in a diabetic coma. The symptoms at the beginning of the video were exactly the same and I knew right away.
They had to measure his blood sugar manually in the hospital because it was so high. If they were correct, he had broken the guiness world record for the highest blood sugar level recorded.
Hes doing great now. Hes managing his diet well to where he doesnt need to take anything for his diabetes.
He made A recovery.
He doesn't have "diabetes". He has type two diabetes. They "measured his blood sugar manually" because... Well... That's how it's done LOL. I'm lifelong type 1 and before CGMs, we had to test 6+ times "manually" per day. Odd comment.
@@Rude_And_Tattooed That's what I was told by hospital staff. They calculated it manually because they're machine couldn't read it. Idk how that shit works.
@Semystic they may have put either his urine or his blood serum into a refractometer - it measures how much it bends light passing through it. Its the same tools maple farms and brewers use to measure syrup.
"A" recovery
Maybe by manual they mean the lab tech had to manually dilute the sample to get it to the range where the machine could read it. That’s how we deal with samples whose values are off the charts.
What 'Step Down Unit' was it where u only see a Nurse ❤ once a day? The I.V. would be checked often, the pt's ouput bag emptied at least every few hours, Vital Signs taken, etc, etc, etc. Plus meds taken to patient.
My mom died at 50 after having a heart attack during her second battle with cancer. I never saw her drink water. Only ever coca cola or chocolate milk. I am 34 and only drink water. No alcohol, no soda, not even coffee or tea. I got scared STRAIGHT!
