What is the local "carbonation" environment in the mouth drinking a soda X 10/day?Stop! I need something left to make life worth livinghaha
The carbonation is fine I hope, it is only 0.04% of the atmosphere but if it rotted things, people would have noticed. I'm not looking.
The main danger as I remember from my university days was making ultra-carbonated black Smirnoff vodka. I invented the Smirnoff alco-pop years before they came up with ICE. Just without a mixer it could knock a horse.
The CO2 has some effect where it increases the transmission of alcohol into the blood. We did it with Arberlour cask strength once (57%) and it nearly killed a guy. Great days.
Millions made, much of the world seen, what now?

I take these medical news articles with a grain of salt, where is the evidence diet sodas spike insulin? If you drink 10 sodas/day that's 1500 cals, 10 diet sodas 15. That's better in my book, those calories are better spent elsewhere on good wholesome food. So, how are diet sodas as bad again???
Apart from what the articles report, I think that the longer you continue to ingest sickly-sweet stuff, the longer it will take you to wean yourself off of sweets in general. It prolongs the "struggle." Apart from fresh fruit, I avoid sweet foods of any kind, and no longer have any craving for them.
What kind of fruit do you eat, lots of sugar in fruit too in form of fructose. maybe YOU are addicted for this reason it's as bad a sugar cane
Mostly apples and bananas. Blueberries and cherries and, occasionally, strawberries when in season.
Do you avoid fruit?
No, your selection sounds good to me.
just for a heads up, FWIW

I eat fruit for the fiber and micronutrients. I like the taste, but I limit it to 3 servings a day (previously 4). I recently had my annual physical and was told my cholesterol/triglycerides were excellent, and improved over the previous year. I had reduced from 4 servings of fruit to 3 after the blood test, so it was already very good before my recent reduction.maybe YOU are addicted for this reason it's as bad a sugar cane
Slart, what's the fresh vegetable situation in Colombia? My guess is it's wonderful. Fresh wholesome food vendors in the street, cheap? Do they use pesticides and insecticides?
Yes, I'm aware of that report. But, apart from bananas, I try to avoid tropical fruit because of their higher fructose content. Also, I find them a bit too sweet.
