        also if you look online, you will find lots of studies pointing that, despite of the composition, coca cola is actually slightly better at retention than water, and that is specifically because of the sugar contents
        sugar is one of the contributing factors that make milk better than water, and coca cola also has it, so the same logic applies

          It gets confusing because "hydration" is vaguely defined. You piss less immediately after drinking coke because metabolising the sugar involves using up some of the water. You've retained more water because it's been converted into ATP, but if you're the average obese person walking around with blood thicker than putty, that's not really the main concern.

                It's the amount of added sugar you can consume before your risk of health issues starts increasing by larger amounts. But for carbs naturally found in food it's usually not as much of a concern and you can have more.

                Carbs are carbs but refined sugars (and starch) cause higher blood sugar spikes which lead to inflammation and a bunch of health issues. Not as much of an issue when you eat fruit, whole grains, etc.

                You can't really eat sugar cane because it's so fibrous. If you chewed on it and extracted some sugar you'd probably get a sore jaw before extracting very much.

      DNA damages isn't fixable, liver being able to regen or not. That's what alcohol does in the long run. Once the instruction set for cell division is damaged, cells get all fricked up and at that point, it's a coin toss whether or not your immune system or apoptosis (cell death/suicide mechanism) will fix the problem. That's how cancer starts, it could be malignant or not but in general, tumours in an organ is bad news.

      If you go to the supermarket and buy diet food (lite n' easy and the like) what you will often find is non diet food in tiny portions. So you'll buy two and your diet will fail so you'll never stop buying diet products.

      >i think the big myth is the food pyramid
      I think there is an argument to be made that you should be eating a good variety of food but I don't think that it's as essential as they would have you believe, nor do I think the 'experts' are as educated on what people should be eating as they think
      For example, a Japanese person is probably going to happily subsist on a completely different diet to someone from France

      [...]

      Definitely needs to be communicated more tho.
      There are still many people why think you cannot keep cooked(!) chicken outside over night, as if it somehow magically retains its status as a contamination risk meat even after heating it to death and disinfecting.

      I'm bad with that but that's just because I'm paranoid about chicken in general, I barely trust it when it's freshly cooked the first time

          Nobody ever really followed it anyway. I'm not sure why it gets so much attention now. I don't remember a single person ever talking about it and using it as a guideline for how they ate. More people talk about it now than they ever did back then.

      Calories are a measure of the maximum amount of energy in a food item. CICO works because if you’re counting accurately, the food you’re eating will never contain more than what’s labeled (when labeled accurately).

      • 3 weeks ago
        Anonymous

        but the right amount of cal is obfuscated by the amount thats actually usable by your body, if you were able to utilize 100% of the cal then your diet should only be 900cal/day but you'd starve if you're eating actual food that only 300cal of that is actually bio-available

        • 3 weeks ago
          Anonymous

          I think people get too caught up on thinking CICO is about calculations and strictly following it. It just says things like fiber and water have zero calories. Carbs and protein have a moderate amount of calories. Fat is high in calories. Eating more carbs/protein/fat will lead to weight gain. Eating less leads to weight loss. That's it.

          It's not that useful or a perfect answer to everything though. 12 oz of soda has less calories than 8 oz of milk, but milk will keep you satiated longer and cause you to consume less calories overall.

          Calorie counts on food labelling take into account an estimate of how much the body actually uses.

              You're making the disturbingly common mistake of assuming calorie count is the be-all-end-all of nutrition.
              Milk is a source of protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins D and B12. While Coke has zero nutritional value, and is nothing more than a vehicle for artificial sugars and empty calories.

              If two people with otherwise identical lifestyles consumed equal amounts of milk and Coke respectively, the Coke drinker would be in far worse condition. So yes, you're likely fat and will die.

      No, it's to support healthy growth. Not "fattening up". People will often drink multiple sodas with a meal adding hundreds of extra empty calories. It's a lot harder to do that with milk which is more nutritious and satiating.

    The myth: Chuck sold suck and frick.
    It was always Chucks feed and seed, until he handed the business off to Sneed to avoid bankruptcy.
    Kids just made up the joke "chuck sells frick and suck" because it rhymed, but in reality the primary inventory of the shop has always been feed and seed.

    >calories
    Calories literally don't matter, and they're usually inaccurate by something like 20%. Apparently you could be on the carnivore diet and be eating like 6,000 calories, but still lose weight (water and/or fat), or stay the same weight (lose water and fat, gain muscle).

      Calories are a meme. Fact: nobody ITT has ever seen a calorie.

      It means calories without much other nutrition. I would consider highly refined oils to be empty calories too.

    "eating healthy", a belief that somehow there are special foods that will somehow make you healthier
    in reality, as long as you meet the minimum requirements it will make no difference whatsoever what you eat

      bullshit obviously, try drinking only seed oils and eating only sugar to meet your daily requirements vs balanced meals.

    I can't drink cola no more cause the phosphoric acid burns my tummy. It's not the caffeine or carbonation cause I can still drink Mountain Dew and energy drinks.
    They should bring back the coke energy drinks again so I can drink it.

      Definitely needs to be communicated more tho.
      There are still many people why think you cannot keep cooked(!) chicken outside over night, as if it somehow magically retains its status as a contamination risk meat even after heating it to death and disinfecting.
