"“If you drink those beverages in low amounts — less than 400 milligrams — that's probably OK,” Dr. Rosian says. “That means less than four cups of coffee per day might be fine, and less than two cans of cola a day"

It doesn't matter what the source is for this quote
because it justifies me breaking my no-soda/no-caffeine diet for the 4th time in 6 months
:vanora_xd:

-chugs mnt dew-
my job sucks too much to quit soda right now

@bioshock:
Same, although I have to be careful cause my "bad days" can be pretty often sometimes, since I dont get a lot of downtime where I'm not having a lot of work to do. Then I end up having 2 sodas a day without paying attention to how frequently, then I start craving moreeeeee

So now I try not to drink them daily. xD

@pachi:
0.4 ml = 400 mg
If I manage to stop drinking sodas for about 2 weeks straight, I stop craving it! But its always around me, everywhere, cause this is america
Then one day I'll have a suuuper bad day and I'll just throw my hands up like, fuck it! I dont drink alcohol so soda is the one for me lmao

@kegs:
lmao thats awesome! Ive never tried making my own. Dont think I need that kind of encouragement in my life xd
But it seems to be a pretty big thing here, I see others doing it a lot

@priestess of pie:
restaurants are how I broke my no-soda records almost every time. That and fast food. You dont think about it being a soda until its in your hand and you've already drank half of it. Such a bad, engraved habit.

I thought sucralose was also pretty bad for you? I might have my information jumbled up haha

@Jolly: Think it's good that you keep track of the sodas you drink! But yeah, bad days can get the best of all of us

I'm a drinker, so I usually have soda as a chaser ON TOP of just being able to chug cans like it's nothing. Terrible habit to have, but it's so hard to quit :'(

@tsundererra:
honestly, it was a lot easier when I had my own place. Something about having my own kitchen storage and 110% responsibilities made my diet more conscious and healthy. I fall into weird bad habits when I live with my family xd
But only myself to blame in the end

@mcmoney:
Yeah Im also taking a pathology class, so my "ohshit I need to quit soda!" phases come more frequently :vanora_xd:
I'm sure by next weekend I'll be panicking about another negative cause from the sugars and acids in soda/caffeine.

Oh man, I'm sure it is hard! Sugar on its own is pretty tough to quit sometimes, I can only imagine the challenge with "true" addictions like alcohol.

@priestess of pie:
I despise those teas so its always soda or nothing hahah
but I also need to cut out fast food. Its not even an addiction, its just pure laziness that I keep eating from them!

@Jolly: Ooof yeah. I eat too much fast food because I don't have the energy to prep lunches. I wish there was a better way to eat out without spending a fortune.

Haha I think I'm more worried about sugar than the caffeine tbh

It's why I try not to drink too many sodas or juices but I still do

Just not all the time

I definitely still eat too much sugar

I have such a bad soda addiction.
I can go through a 12 pack in a single day
