[reppy]

8 cans a day!? Dude! That's a lot of caffeine! 

[laurifer]

Willpower!

That is all I have to say.

[megchan]

I had one can and it made me feel kinda sick.

It's because everything make you feel sick Meg, epically cosplayers. lol

Kenshin cosplayers don't make me sick.

[Higuma]

Have you tried the 12 step program yet? Or what about hypnosis? Do they make a Diet Coke patch?
Or of you are brave enough Cold Turkey?

CAFFEINE IS BAD FOR YOU

correction, too much caffeine is bad for you, you stay in your limit and is fine
and at night if some one is driveing I would rather they drink coffie and wake up, then getting into an acident
 my infant development teacher Dr. Martorell  was saying that up to 300 mg of caffeine is fine when pregnate(that is like 8-10 cans of pop depending on the type, tho coffie has about 155-288 per 12 oz), it wont hurt the baby, and the stress of trying to cut yourself off from caffeine can be harder on the body then the caffeine is

so cut down but dont go cold turkey, and of course you should not drink dt coke it tastes like crap

[totemo_oishii]

I don't think pop is bad, but 8 cans a day? Hot damn!

[jaybug]

I heard from my mom it isn't the caffeine, but the artificial sweetener, which is the more addicting part of diet products. So you get a double whammy.

No wonder you hate your parents.

Diet Coke and chocolate chip cookies, does anyone else see what is wrong with this picture? Or do you like Coke and chocolate, blick.

[superjaz]

I don't think pop is bad, but 8 cans a day? Hot damn!

its sad that the caffeine fo 8 cans of pop= 1 12oz cup of coffee (vary by type)

they have actualy started putting the amount of caffeine in the pop on the can now pretty neat, diet mt dew wins at the most caffeine

[totemo_oishii]

Even so, wouldn't 8 cans of pop have a ton more sugar than a cup of coffee?

[megchan]

YES XD

I think the point is....it's not bad before because of the caffeine, but because of everything else XD

I lost about 10-15 lbs just from stopping soda drinking. I can't stand fast food anymore either, AND I started excercising. After I lost almost 40 lbs (I kid you not), my friends thought it was "unhealthy" for me. Ironic.
SO THE ADVICE.....
ummm........I dunno. Screw it and play some DDR!

[DancingTofu]

I haven't played DDR in a month.

Now I suck at life, but it doesn't stop me from killing hueg monsters.

[TomtheFanboy]

I got this weird spam email from my mom today about the dangers of ASPERTAME and diet beverages. then I see this thread. Weird.

[melchizedek]

Someone told me that artificial sweetener causes one to gain weight.  Apparently, the body normally responds to sweets by increasing metabolism to deal with the calories.  But after a enough artificial sweetener it figures out that it doesn't need to and stops.

[superjaz]

too much of anything is bad for you

[reppy]

I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners (and most artificial things) if I can. It's just not natural. There's no such thing as a "freebie" when it comes to your body. Unless you're diabetic, I don't think it's worth it. If you need sweetness so often that it's detrimental to your weight or health so you subsidize it by using artificial sweeteners you need to re-evaluate your diet and how seriously you take your health. ^_^;

[jaybug]

I wanna try the diet coke with Bacon! lol I would even try it. Unless my sense of taste could stop me in time.

[Higuma]

Bacon is good on everything, even icecream!

[EveofAbyss]

Bacon is good on everything!

So sayeth the Bacon Maple Bar (of Voodoo Doughnut, of course)!

[EveofAbyss]

I desperately need to force myself to go to the VD and get myself some doughnuts. I have been making excuse after excuse, not being in the area, not having cash, whatever. I just need to go and get my donut on, heh

[jaybug]

I'm going to go meet my mother at the Ringside by Glendoveer Friday at 5pm. Could go with someone to VooDoo Donuts afterwards!

[EveofAbyss]

If I weren't going to be in Hood River on Friday at that time, I'd take you up on it.

[DancingTofu]

Cock and Balls is better - Vegetarian Friendly, "Cream" Filled.

Yeah, that was Kahlan-gf's first Voodoo Donut, lol. I never had it but it sure looked like....a big donut, lol. My personal favorite is Grape Ape. Mmm, yummy.

[laurifer]

I am still searching for my favorite donut at VD.

I do like the Grape one, though! My first donut there, I believe.

But chocolate + bacon = WIN!

[EveofAbyss]

VD trip during Koffin Kats show, perhaps? Anyway, back to topic......diet coke!!

[DancingTofu]

So there's always diet coke chillin' around the cryb and it bugs me.

[Higuma]

I am not a big fan of diet drinks but I do like Cherry Coke Zero

[DancingTofu]

Diet Sugar

[sekitan bun]

wow geez! I heard that diet coke is almost twice as bad for you as regular coke!
I also heard that the government made them stop saying it was diet in their commercial, you know that's why they say "diet coke, there's nothing diet about it" and they try and trick you with a bunch of candy and sweets in the backround to make you think that they're saying it tastes good...it's pretty smart actually.
But dude diet coke DOES taste good though! XD

[DancingTofu]

Uh. . . it depends on a number of factors.

Diet Coke contains Phenylalanine, which can sometimes act as a carcenogen, and I think it has some allergenic properties as well.

I don't know much about it; look it up.

[Seraph]

I like vanilla coke but its little hard to find these days.

[sekitan bun]

Seraph: I know exactly how you feel...I'm always looking for that TT-TT

[Daxe]

I wish I could find regular coke with lime

[melchizedek]

the coke is a lie!!!!1

[EveofAbyss]

the coke is a lie!!!!1

The Coke Cake is not a lie!
