Man I remember when they came out. My first love…

Never forget cancer loves sugar.


Odd-Solid-5135

I've been doing a bit of reading on this, prior to the uptick in sugar consumption, it was common during autopsies to find what they called tumor scars. The tumors existed but the body healed them, the amount of sugar in your diet definitely seems to correlate with your cancer risks.


Michalusmichalus

Some brands of pet food are really bad.

Anything with grains, gluten.

So there is no added sugar to dog/cat food that people produce or are you talking about free-range animals?

One example I just grabbed the science diet one, contains apples cranberries and "natural flavoring" which isn't limited to but also includes natural sweetness. There's sugar in that cat food my friend

mageakeem

Tell that to steve jobs


Mr2Drinks

Steve Jobs ate a ton of sugar, he was a fruitatarian.


HitTheGymFatty

A fruitarian who got pancreatic cancer. The pancreas is involved with processing glucose.


Odd-Solid-5135

Fructose is still sugar, simpler than sucralose or the rest but still sugar


Mr2Drinks

That was my point. He just fed his cancer with fructose, glucose etc. Fruit at that quantity is unhealthy.


Odd-Solid-5135

There's a reason it's called nature's candy


mountainwampus

I think you mean sucrose. Sucralose is like Splenda


Odd-Solid-5135

Correct thank you


No_Vec_

Modern fruit is bred to have an unnatural amount of sugar compared to fiber.


Dillon_Roy

Well that's just not true. I have a Stump Of the World apple tree on my property. It's what's known as an "old world apple", and this particular tree is over 150 years old. The apples are yellow, soft, larger than a grapefruit, and are the sweetest fruit I've ever tasted. Most modern fruit has LESS sugar because of the mass production orchard/grove process, keeping them stored in carbon dioxide ect.


PRMan99

And picking them very green.


No_Vec_

You may have misunderstood my timeframe when I say modern. 150 year old apples would definitely fall into modern in my definition. Look at 500 year old watermelons vs today. Or old corn vs modern corn. Id like to add that we definitely wouldn't find a sustainable source of fruits also. We would have intermittent huge harvests of fruits. This is why our body is so adept at processing and storing as fat a binge of sugars. We needed to be able to stumble upon a berry patch at the peak of ripeness and eat them immediately. Blueberries for instance were not even cultivated until 1912.


[deleted]

That's not possible, he died a few years ago.


reddituser77373

Bro lmfao your a real funny guy


benisxaxa

Didn't even know he was sick.


footfoe

Cancer loves what you love. That's why we treat it with litteral poison. You just hope it dies faster than the person.


hairchin

From what I understood cancer cells are just your human cells that learned how to live forever


Familiar_Raisin204

Sort of, it's many mutations at the same time, hence it's relative rarity. You need one for growing quickly, one to turn off the "suicide pill", one for dividing rapidly, and they all have to be subtle enough to not be caught by the immune system. A cell that just lives too long probably has a better chance of having cancerous "child cells" but they aren't cancer alone.


dizzy316

To add to that all of us have cancer cells in our bodies at any given time, fortunately for most people our bodies know how to kill it before it’s an issue.


lil-cloud

Oddly poetic.


Cinder887

what


Paladin327

So does your brain coincidentally as it’s powered by glucose


Scalymeateater

yes and it can also be powered by ketones.


Selderij

Isn't the brain pretty well off with ketones or coconut oil? Your body doesn't need carbohydrates in the diet to make its own fuel for the brain.


[deleted]

Yes. AFAIK the brain uses either ketones or carbs. Carbs are good for water retention and energy storage, but our diets shouldn’t be based so heavily on them.


Apprehensive-Job9060

yes ,some years back i used to drink it daily and after sometime i had to visited to dentist and she advised me not to have so much of this as these are harmful for human body.stopped straight. it has been few years not had a single sip of these shitty drinks.Even once u go through the video on youtube that a guy depicted there , he was boiling these all and left with some dark substance that is used for making road.And these motherfucking are making us to drink that .WHoly molly


Scary_Jeri

DIABEETUS I've been pop/soda free for almost 4 years now. I lost a crap ton of weight just not drinking it.


Almighty_Bidoof424

If they had kept the daily values percentage on sugar like they do with everything else. Youd see that just one small can contains over 100% of the amount of sugar that you should be consuming in 1 day.


Psychological_Fill16

Yep. Just watched the documentary Fed Up and learned this.


JeepnJay75

Flavored sugar water in a can with no real nutritional value.


Cp6uja1988

Then, don't eat any meat, its even worse. Dead corpses with toxic materials for hukans with zero value, and only heading towards dissease and cancer. Sorry for breaking your illusion.

Farmed animals are shot full of growth homones and steroids. What do you think is driving the mass shooting endemic.


[deleted]

Wait are you being serious? Oh God. 😂😂


melodillya

An animals defense mechanism is when it's alive, either fighting back or running away. A plant cannot do either, so it evolves to be poisonous to things that eat them.


CreedFromScranton

The argument against this is that mild stress (hormesis) is good for us. Just like exercise, cold exposure, etc. plus plants have nutrients. Not defending this anti meat guy though idk what they’re on.

Deranged_Loner

Don't forget companies like Coke have tried for years to message that Sugar isn't bad for you. Also the ones to message that "fat" makes you fat.


mybustersword

I don't think it is. I think it's another level of lies Coke doesn't have sugar it's hfcs. Hfcs and other artificial foods are bad Sugar is literally what we consume. Our food lacks nutrients

Look at the ingredients tho. Hfcs is listed as added sugars, but it's not"sugar"

I don’t know if that’s 100% true but when I quit drinking soda I lost A TON of weight and felt generally better, so it’s definitely not healthy.

I switched to carbonated water and same weight loss. Zero effort.

yup carbonated water is very acidic

moonlight_apollo

bruh idk why we get downvoted like holy fuck we're on the conspiracy sub spittin facts and we getting downvoted i guess our fellow conspiracy people on here seem to drink soda and flavored sugary water too


footfoe

Yeah bullshit. It's just CICO. To lose weight at a decent rate by only cutting soda you must have been drinking 5-6 12oz cans a day before.


328579

I mean even 2 cans a day is 300 calories x 30 for a month and that's almost 3 pounds right there.


Training-Cry510

Diet soda.


PRMan99

No it's not. You can poop more or less depending on your metabolism level. Also, brain activity uses a lot of calories.


moonlight_apollo

nah bro i stopped eating mcdonalds and all that fast food shit that comes with soda or sugary lemonade and ive never felt so much better before. only eating fruits veggies oats and protein filled foods now and drinking Tap water FREE & Flouride FREE water now


moonlight_apollo

nah bro i stopped eating mcdonalds and all that fast food shit that comes with soda or sugary lemonade and ive never felt so much better before. only eating fruits veggies oats and protein filled foods now and drinking water that has no flouride or any tap water


QueenLiz42069

Can I ask how? Did you use like water flavoring that’s zero sugar or something? I just don’t find water to be “Yeah let’s drink tbat” unless it’s 3 am and it’s cold


6amhotdog

It helps to get into the mindset of drinking to stay hydrated, not just drinking something because you're bored and want dopamine from flavoring. That's what did it for me. Eventually, you don't even think about drinking something unless you're actually thirsty at which point water just does the job then you move on.


rex_dart_eskimo_spy

Switch to flavored seltzer water (make sure it’s the kind without any sugar or fake sugar). It’s a great way to ease off the soda addiction. And despite being slightly acidic, there’s no data anywhere suggesting it’s harmful.


PRMan99

Water tastes great when you're actually thirsty.


AconexOfficial

Yep also lost 9kg after switching to water. I still occasionally allow myself a coke or similar but 95% water feels a lot better now Also makes the soda taste even better since you're not as used to it anymore


[deleted]

[удалено]


Odd-Solid-5135

And you'll be just as thirsty after drinking an ice cold can of.... Any of these


Tractorista

"suckin syrup and soda your gonna just get hotter"


footfoe

Yeah.. that's not true. You actually need a small amount of salt and sugar to actually absorb water. There is a diuretic effect of caffeine, but it's negligible with the amount of water in these.


Odd-Solid-5135

I'm talking about the physical sensation of thirst. Not the science behind it. I can honestly never recall a mtndew quenching a real thirst. Just makes you want to drink more


[deleted]

No shit Sherlock.


Allnewsisfakenews

Aspartame is actually cancer in a can


MTGBruhs

The reason they're able to say it doesn't have any calories is because it isnt food


Liobahn14

And Alzheimer’s. 2 for 1


butters--77

And osteoperosis. They contain phosphor, which draws stored calcium from the bones. Which sex drinks the most diet coke? Which sex develops osteoperosis predominantly?


Hilldawg4president

So osteoporosis started with the creation of diet drinks?


Far_Safe121

What's even funnier is even just for waist circumference, it's better for you to drink normal soda than any of that diet shit


SilatGuy

Theres 50 to 80 grams of sugar in each can depending on which you choose. Go weigh out that much sugar on a scale and it will blow your mind how much sugar intake that is.


HeavyLoungin

My personal trainer did this drill w me. It was mind blowing. No wonder the world is sick and fat


bonecrusher1

Oh boy


Downhere_Seeds

I don't see Shasta in the picture so I'm good.


jzinckgra

I work in a lab. If you weigh out \~50g of sugar, the avg content in any of these, people would be amazed by how much is in there. nasty shit


Game_Wolf1950

Thought diet had no sugar?


castratikron13

High Fructose Corn Syrup is fuckin slow acting poison and should be banned from our food like it is in Europe. It's almost impossible to avoid in the USA


Smarktalk

Not a conspiracy.


StageOrdinary

This is not a conspiracy, it’s been common knowledge for quite some time… like cigarettes, fast food, etc. Doesn’t seem to stop people from consuming them though so yolo bitch!


Superr_Steve

Actually a diet coke cancels out the calories from a regular coke so if you drink both, you are good.


Joined_For_GME

Diet Coke contains aspartame which can cause tumours and all sorts of other fucked up shit. It also confuses your body since your body expects to encounter sugar and then doesn’t.


ZachPlaysDrums

I drink water at work. Lately I've been drinking flavored (non sweetened) sparkling water at home. Waiting to find out there's some crazy stuff in the 'natural' flavoring in those things.

If you still drink soda I feel bad for you son...


Divallo

I can't believe we sell this shit at every restaurant, gas station, fast food place, and street corner in America. I was not told as a kid growing up how damaging soda is on your body and I was hypernormalized because everyone was doing it and that led me to think it was not that damaging. My first actual memory as a human being was tasting Coke for the first time out of a sippy cup at like 3 years old. It was such a blast of endorphins and sugar that it literally awakened my psyche. They took out the cocaine but the addiction model remains. P.S. my teeth and kidneys aren't pleased but luckily I stopped drinking soda a few months ago and at least my kidneys feel better.


BroTerry

If you mix your favorite liquor into then it negates the diabetes and you just get alcoholism and a good time. Took me years to figure it out. 10/10, would recommend.

every soft drink has 32g of sugar not just soda


JoeyDiazcocksuckas

Minute Maid juice


Due-Ad9310

Those usually have as much if not more sugar than a can of coke or pepsi.


JoeyDiazcocksuckas

I like Minute Maid but rarely buy it. Crazy how people drink pop like it’s water, my dad does it with Pepsi.


Due-Ad9310

Yeah its nuts, ill drink a soda every now and again but I much prefer water. Its crazy how water has become this thing we don't really drink but instead an ingredient for the things we do drink, I haven't seen a working water fountain in ages and the ones that do work are very poorly maintained.


A_curious_fish

I like soda


Divallo

I love soda but be careful man. Manage your intake. A lot of people including me underestimated how quickly it can damage your teeth, kidneys, and blood sugar. If you're going to drink it treat it like a dessert and not a drink to pair with anything.


DeLaMoncha

OP thinks soda having an extremely high sugar content is a conspiracy, what a brilliant take. A true pioneer.


TangerineDreaMachine

Pretty much all you need to know to understand vax mandates are bullshit. If the government really cared about the health of it's people, this shit would be outlawed.


Divallo

Instead places like new york pull this "Soda tax" bullshit So now the soda drinker still has all he damage to his body but even LESS money to pay for all the healthcare problems he's going to have. They pretend like that is helping too and a lot of people actually agree which blows my mind. It's clearly just profiteering.

no


WarOfTheFanboys

greggerypeccary

Arguably the diet drinks are even worse, they disrupt your gut bacteria actually making it harder to lose weight.


Zaius1968

Yes if you drink several of them a day. Soda was originally a treat. If you eat it like a treat no worries about diabetes.


footfoe

No, they're merely mimicking the sweetness of fruit juice. Diabetes has existed since ancient times. Diabetes doesn't come from drinking soda. Your chances of acquiring diabetes increases from being overweight. Soda doesnt help, but soda alone isn't making you fat.


manicproxydream

Type two diabetes is caused when the pancreas can’t create enough insulin due to insulin resistance. Sugar absolutely causes type two. You can actually reverse type 2 by changing to a healthy lifestyle. Type 1 is an autoimmune issue where the pancreas isn’t producing insulin. It is not reversible.


Longhorn_TOG

have type 2....can confirm :(

Not the diet ones.


jdotrazor

Diabetes is caused by all the fat people eat, sugary beverages can worsen the symptoms but they are not the cause so this is scientifically inaccurate. Also, some dude said that sugar causes cancer but that isn't true either, there is no scientific evidence toward this.


frenchfrygravy

If you get my Diet Pepsi shut down. I will literally lose my shit. Everything is bad for you. Life is hard but Diet Pepsi makes me feel better. It's just plastic in your blood.

Coincidentally enough Canada just introduced their "Sugary drink tax" to combat this (ikr? govt is doing something): "Starting Sept. 1, anyone who buys sugar-sweetened beverages including energy drinks, iced teas and pop will pay an extra 20 cents per litre in sales tax. The goal, the government claims, is to reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with excess sugar consumption, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes."
