My boyfriend thinks he is addicted to Pepsi, this is the Pepsi Max version, so has no sugar in it. Is this bad

Question

Is there something in Pepsi Max that you get addicted to? And if so what is it? Is this really unhealthy? Should he be careful? He doesn't drink it everyday, but often craves it.

Answer 1

I drank Pepsi Max one time, by accident!  It was hysterical...I was climbing the walls.  It has more caffeine and panax ginseng.  I don't know how these things work together, but, it made me high as a kite... :>)  I don't drink it because it made me feel too funny.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

No one is addicted to anything its there fault there the ones who dont want to stop.

Answer 3

He probably got addicted to the caffeine in it. And it is still bad for him because sodas can make your bones really weak if you drink it alot. Also if he drinks it about everyday and he can't get it one day he will probably have a severe headache because of the lack of caffeine. I drank Coke everyday for a week and then on the eighth day we ran out and I got a horrible headache. Now I only drink soda once in a while.

Answer 4

High Fructose Corn Syrup.

it is a manmade substance that was originally just corn syrup but the scientists had to add another molecule on it so they could creat something new.

In return, creating the ultimate thing for food industries. There is something about high fructose corn syrup that makes ur body crave it. if u take out all the high fructose corn syrup of ur diet u will start to reckognize that u will no longer have the urges to eat or drink sweet foods.

food containing high fructose corn syrup:

-those pink surgar packets for ur tea

-candy bars

-sodas all kinds

-some icings

so u are still allowed home made cookies and REAL sugar but try to cut out the high fructose corn syrup and u will no longer crave sweets. TRY IT!

Answer 5

I am addicted to it. I used to go through a case of 12 in a matter of 2 days (all to myself). It hasnt like made me sick or anything but it isnt healthy for you to drink it too much as its still soda. In order to help myself I tried switiching to diet (which took a while but I did it and now I cannot drink regular anymore it tastes gross to me), then I tried decreasing slowly the amount I drink. Now I only have one every couple days, but some days I will have like 3!! To me it was a mix of both the caffeine in the soda as well as the fizz in it that makes it feel so refreshing and good when you swallow it ( I could never drink it warm it had to be cold). So for the caffeine addiction you just have to wean yourself off of it and for the fizzy refreshing feeling, I try to go for sparkling waters instead. Its most likely the caffeine in the soda that he is addicted to, its just like "needing" your coffee.

Answer 6

You can get addicted to the caffeine in it.
