    Earlier this year, Subway announced it was ditching Coca-Cola products, effective in 2025.

    I dropped major soda brands for the supermarket version. It’s 1/3 of the cost and basically the same thing. $10 for a 12 can pack, fuck off.

        Why? It’s tasty and I don’t drink sugar sodas.

          I mean do what you want, but its still bad for you in other ways. I dropped soda like a decade ago and I don’t even miss it

              Its been a while since I looked into this but from what i remember the acidity and carbonation are bad for your teeth, all the additives and artificial flavors and colors are bad for your kidneys and liver. I haven’t drank the stuff in a while so I don’t have any sources for you, but I would encourage you to talk to a doctor about it

                My teeth are in perfect condition, and my doctor is impressed with my health after a recent physical. I think there may be fewer additives and flavors than you recall. The sugar is the bad part. I think most aversion to sugar free soda is based on inconclusive evidence. Seeing as I have a relatively healthy diet otherwise, I don’t feel it is a risky situation.

                Now, other chemicals and plastics seeping into the food is another thing entirely, and will only get worse as time goes on and regulations are eliminated.

                  Yea there are other things like the artificial sweeteners being bad for gut bacteria, but the main thing is the sugar for sure.
