How bad is ginger ale or coke?

[jennifer_bloom]

Yesterday I went to a lake and beach event and did a lot of physical work carrying heavy objects and our host ran out of water bottles so I had two bottles of coke and today I was craving sugar and had a ginger ale and usually I go years without craving ginger ale and I usually only drink coke once ever two years so I broke my rules twice in two days.

Let's just say, If you could taste all of the sugar in those sodas, you'd probably throw up.
That's what the secret formula of Coke does, amongst other sodas, it tricks your body into thinking you're not ingesting as much sugar as you think you are.

Ginger Ale on the other hand, isn't as bad as Coke, but you ought to watch out drinking soda generally. It rots your teeth, gives you diabetes, and it slows you down generally with sugar crashes times 10. Seriously consider quitting soda period. You could opt for milk, Ice Water, Juices, Tea, sparkling water, or coffee that's close to black.

Nothing wrong with ginger ale. Mint ginger ale is even better but Coke is not at all good for you!! I know of people that use it to clean the gunk from their car engines!! If it's doing that to that gunk, what's it doing to your stomach? I don't drink ANYTHING made by Coke!!

How bad are that from a diet point of view?

Not very healthy that's for sure. We're talking soda here everyone knows it's bad for you. Drinking soda a few times a year shouldn't have any ill affect. It's really people who drink it all the time that really need to worry.

I actually believe that the ginger and ginger ale has healthy properties as far as Coco's I hate the sticky film that it leaves over your teeth and tongue

Sugar is nutritionally dense and full of calories. It's not poison.

Ginger Ale - good for an upset stomach - Coke with Rum. Even better
