NFT: What happens when you drink a Coke

Moondawg : 7/30/2015 9:34 am
This graphic has been making the internet rounds.If true, it's worse than we thought.

is this news?

When I was a kid we used to use it to clean the gunk off of the car battery nodes.
its definitely not good for you  
UConn4523 : 7/30/2015 9:47 am : link
but that's all worse case scenario. I don't drink many coke's but I certainly don't crash an hour after I have one.
ok, so what happens when I eat an ice cream  
Csonka : 7/30/2015 9:47 am : link
or drink a few beers.
or heaven forbid, eat a hot dog.
or all 3 at a baseball game.
Somehow I doubt that's all true

its probably all true

but is happening at such low levels that it is not really an issue

What happens to me is a little different

I go partially blind and can't read really small print. Before I drink one, too, apparently.

This just happens to me when I read graphics about coke's debilitating effects on health. Odd.
What they left off that list...  
manh george : 7/30/2015 9:56 am : link
is that coke cans are excellent for self-circumcision.
Pretty sure most of these  
slov72 : 7/30/2015 9:56 am : link
effects are related to normal metabolism of sugar and caffeine.... for instance all that coffee you drink will have many of the same effects, especially if you don't drink it black. By the way, there is no way that the diuretic effect of coke is a net negative.... I am 100% sure that if you drank nothing else you would not die of dehydration.

Exactly. Its not news that soda sucks for you, but those facts are a bit much. Maybe that's when happens when a 5 year old drinks a can, but not a healthy adult.

Soda has always been a good cleaning agent. Selzer will get stains out of anything.

I enjoy a soda, but I know people who drink diet or regular soda by the 2-liter. Never understood why. After two cans, which is rare, I start to feel queasy.

Coke has sugar and caffeine. That makes it dessert. It's perfectly fine in moderation.

I'm certainly no expert, but while I think that illustration  
Ira : 7/30/2015 11:01 am : link
exaggerates the matter at least for most people, there is a fair amount of truth in it. As was said, an occasional coke isn't going to kill you, it's a habit to avoid - as are most soft drinks.
Funny we should discuss this today.

I just thought it an interesting graphic. I'm no expert in medicine. But the above was about sugar, not aspartame or whatever,so it may not be entirely relevant to the claim above.

I know...and that's what Jenny McCarthy also probably did...just did a quick google search, found something to latch her feeble mind to in order to find an acceptable cause for her son's autism, and just started spreading it to people without much thought.
Yep, drinking coke and vetting vaccinated are roughly

equivalent. Did you hit your head climbing rocks?

And soda are a major reason we have the most obesity on earth and the highest medical expenses per person. It is poison.

That being said a soda here and there is ok. But the addictive elements make that hard for some I guess.

yeah the vacination myth was completely disproven.

I believe the issue is it tricks your body into thinking there is a sugar spike in your system so the body tries to convert any sugar it can into fat just like it would with a regular soda. Maybe someone who knows more can elaborate.

I don't think this is propaganda. Its vague with the levels and is written to sound extreme but this is not news. Soda is really bad for you and should not be part of a regular diet. Just like everything bad you moderation is the key. A soda once or twice a week is fine but a soda everyday is not moderation. High fructose corn syrup and soda specifically is one of the biggest reasons obesity is widespread today

Moondawg : 7/30/2015 4:54 pm : link
Dihydrogen Monoxide is a fancy way of saying "water". But because it sounds like a dangerous chemical leads people to be fine with joining a petition to ban it. Having people sign petitions to ban it is a way of illustrating how people will sign on to things they know nothing about. It serves a critical thinking class by illustrating to students how mass-movements are sometimes underwritten by scientific ignorance and groupthink. Having them target their professors shows how even PhD's aren't immune.

The point isn't at all to get my students to be my surrogate activists for some cause of mine; if anything, it serves the purpose of calling such things into question.
