Claims require evidence. You offer none, I reject your claim.

That's how logic works. I think I've explained this to you before...hmm...curious...

You are aware you are humiliating yourself, right?

If you are serious that is.

No you usually ramble and I stop listening. Take the advice from the guy above me! And put down the mountain dew, your belly will thank you for it :)

Bless him, he doesn't understand common sense typically doesn't need backing up unless the person just doesn't get it and needs it spelt out for them.

Like I said, embarassing, on a few counts now.

Humiliating myself by demanding that someone back up their claim? Uh do you not understand logic either?

Do you think it's because they have the patent on the 'WallE screns?'

Fun Fact: Canadian Mountain Dew does not have caffeine.

Hilarious.

Your claim that it is common sense that soda is bad is really quite inept. Why would it need to be studied at all if that were the case?

I'll wait for you to cite a single scientific study that backs up your argument. Here's the kicker, it must pertain to humans. 

Good luck.

Seece is wrong in one aspect. It's not common sense, it's common knowledge. Yes, you are humiliating yourself by demanding someone to back up obvious statements, so you may quit that "understand logic" bs. Were you born yesterday? Or do you live under a rock? A short update - the world is round, 2+2=4, soda is bad for you. If you're in doubt - google it, you'll find more info on it than you can digest.

@Zappykins - nice find

What's hilarious is your lack of ability to form an argument.

It's your claim and Seece's. Either back up your claim, or admit you can't. You don't get to say "it's common sense/knowledge" when it isn't.

Of course you hear this on the media, but what I'm attempting to get you and Seece to realize (although you seem quite deliberately obtuse to it) is to look into the actual scientific studies themselves.

There is a shit ton of misinformation, quote mining, conflation, and untested analysis being thrown around by the media  because they couldn't care less about giving the facts, they care about RATINGS.

So unless you've spent some time investigating the actual studies, which to my knowledge very few if any show a detrimental effect to humans because the majority of the studies don't pertain to humans, then you aren't in a position to comment. They are simply guessing based upon how mice and other animals respond to certain substances contained within soda.

Another point of contention is that not all sodas possess the same chemicals, so generalizing them in such fashion speaks volumes to your ignorance on the topic.

My game fuel is ice water, stopped drinking this stuff years ago because it messes up your teeth. Also I thought it was common knowledge that soda contains tons of added sugar and preservatives, which can lead to many long term and serious health risks, ie) diabetes, or was all this a joke that went over my head?

Sugar is necessary for survival. I think you would benefit greatly from a dietetics class.
