Title: "I WON'T DRINK DIET SODA!"
Post by: UpTheDosage on June 27, 2007, 08:27:54 PM
So I work at a casino and I was listening to a few of my co-workers having a conversation about how they REFUSE to drink diet soda because it causes cancer. These same people are fat and they smoke numerous packs of cigarettes per day. What the fuck are they thinking?? Anyone else work with dumbfucks like this?

I live in Iowa Special Ed so it's not a nationally known casino. It's the only "big" thing around where I live and it mostly brings in old people, truckers and the biggest piles of "white trash" you could imagine. Every single job there is either easy or super easy. Nobody really does anything. It's quite boring to tell you the truth.

Please tell me why artificial sweeteners are so bad? Show me some medical literature and I'll maybe believe it.

Everything I drink is artificially sweetened.  I only drink water at work and at the gym (water fountains).

Seriously bro, never have. I think one time years ago when I was partying and ran out of diet Sprite for my vodka  ;D I might have used Coke or Pepsi, but I don't remember for sure. I have never in my life bought a Coke or Pepsi. I couldn't tell you the difference between them and whether they were diet or regular. Once maybe every couple of years I might get a diet Dr Pepper at a gas station and drink about half of it. I was never a big fan or Soda. YUCK!

I agree.  I just don't get it. Humans have existed on this planet for ~150,000 years, and soda has been around for only 100 or so of those years, yet idiots today act like it's some sort of essential nutrient. Like when you're getting a meal and someone asks you "what kind of soft drink do you want with that?", as though it's a given you will be drinking something sweet and carbonated.   ::)

Nice try but that's not medical literature.

There have been no long-term studies because no one is willing to fund them, and even if there were, some of this stuff hasn't been around long enough to conduct any.

How about employing common sense:  why put substances into your body that do not exist in nature, have no know benefit to the body, in some cases are closely related to or made from substances that are known to cause harm, and in some cases have at least some short-term studies showing they themselves may cause harm?

Knowing the mechanics between sugar and insulin, I just can't bring myself to drinking regular cola. I have to believe other people would feel the same with the same knowledge. If you're that addicted to the stuff, drink the diet brand. Artifial sweetners only give cancer to lab rats in very high doses; levels that pale in comparison to those found in diet pop.

When I hear overweight people defending their choice becuase they're afraid of cancer, I shake my head.

I never really drank soda till I moved to Hawaii.  I usually drank just milk, orange juice and water.  If I had a soda it was usually Orange Crush or 7up or Mountain Dew.  When I moved here my first girlfriend drank diet coke.  I tried some and I like it.  I bet I haven't had a 6 pack of regular coke in my entire life.  I never got into sodas.  I drink the diet soda cause I like it and never really got into regular soda

HAHAHA!! The only chance I get at pwning someone is telling fucking kids to leave if they aren't 21. However on Friday and Saturday nights it gets so fucking busy, that 2 minors have actually slipped by me and I got suspended without pay both times. The first time for 3 days and second time for 5 days. I should have been fired but I'm so awesome at pwning people they let me stay and I'm on fucking probation for the next year. Like I'm really going to be there another year. ::)

What's funny is we have people getting suspended and fired EVERY week! Minors get on the floor every weekend. I have thought of several different ways myself to set up the security staff that would be much more effective at preventing this from happening, but hey, let's keep everything the same and have the highest turnover rate known to man while losing several thousand dollars every weekend.
