Canned soda: how bad is it to drink 5-7 a day?

Question

My husband consumes 5-7 Coke Zeros a day. I am trying to get him to stop, but I need some facts to convince him just how unhealthy it is. Any help here?

Answer 1

Soda eats away at the lining of your stomach. If he has been have any problems with acid burn it is probably due to the large soda consumption. It also rots teeth very quickly. He probably has a large number of cavities. Both of these things need medical treatment. Take him to a doctor. The doctor will convince him.

Soda also is addictive. Don't expect him to quit without reason. It will not be easy.

Answer 2

there a lot of preservatives in that soda that can lead to organ damage and eventual death.

Answer 3

coke zero contains aspartame, which over time can cause damage to your central nervous system and eventually lead to death. and of course the more you drink the faster the process. 1-2 cans a day woudnt hurt you but 5-7 a day is definately enough

Answer 4

Well, there is a LOT of sodium when he consumes THAT many.

As well, studies have fully shown that people who drink even artificially sweetened sodas have more difficulty losing weight than those who rarely or never drink them.  This is because the A.S.'s actually stimulate the body's urge to have sweet things.

Finally, there are a LOT of artificial chemicals that the body does NOT need to be consuming, contained in those little cans of soda.

But the bottom line is this:  If HE doesn't want to quit, then there is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING you can do to change his mind.  Just like smokers, drinkers, drug addicts, s*x addicts and gambling addicts, they will stop when THEY want to and NOTHING you do or want them to do is going to change it.

Sorry, but that's just a fact of life.

It's full of sugar that eats away ur teeth and kidneys. You'll get fat. Just stick to water or some good ol orange juice.
