Sugar is poison

[crazy canuck]

I drink roughly 4.2 liters of soda every day.  Diet, though.

Good God man, where did you grow up.

Oh ya, never mind.

I always thought a first world country was characterized by affluence.  One aspect of affluence is the ability to purchase at least basic food needs.  If you grew up in such a country it is a shame you no longer live there.

Soda is a basic food need.

In seriousness, I expect one reason it seems like such a large amount is because I don't drink coffee, and drink soda instead.

I think the whole "soda issue" is over rated. As a kid, I drank a ton of sugary kool-aid. It's what all parents seemed to give their kids around where I lived. When I hit my teens than it was more soda than kool-aid. Regardless, candy was real cheap back in the late 70's and early 80's, so kids could get a ton of sugary nirvana for only a couple quarters.

I sure as hell don't drink 4.2L of coffee.

I dont think there was such a thing as a 2 litre bottle of any pop when I was a kid.

Pepsi introduced the 2-litre bottle in 1970.  Don't know when it made it to Canada, but I would assume pretty much the same time.

I drank non-diet soda a LOT as a teenager and was always as skinny as a rail.  Probably because I otherwise ate well and in reasonable portions, and also got a normal amount of exercise .

I drink 710ml of Pepsi everyday. That's actually down form my previous intake by a significant margin.

[Malthus]

I'm sure you're right, dps, but that kind of reasoning has been made utterly worthless since all I can think about when I hear it is a wrinkly old prune with his face full of liver spots, shaking his cane at the world. 

The sad part is when that wrinkly old prune is in better shape than the average teen.

That's a very precise amount

I couldn't drink that much of anything in a day. It must feel like being waterboarded. Expensive too.

2 x 355ml cans I presume.

I rarely drink pop.  Lost my sweet tooth several years ago I think.  Little interest in sweets in general.

ya, but you used to get cane sugar. Kids these days get corn syrup. not sure how or why, but apparently it worse.

Back in the day we actually got lots of beet sugar in Canada.

Apparently now with import restrictions lifted we now get mostly cane sugar in this country.
