I don't care if people drank soda but some people should not be drinking it due to health issues! The guy who brags he goes through a 24 pack in a week and has heart issues! Not long ago he had 2 or 3 stints put in his heart! So far no more problems! He should not be drinking soda and eating at fast food places,for example! His mom died of congested heart failure when she was around 60 years old! If her son doesn't take care of himself he;ll end up like her! Not a good situation!

I agree.
Too much carbonated drinks can kill him. Also, these carbonated drinks have very high sugar level contents and it can lead to diabetes.
Better try to persuade him to stop drinking it everyday. Opt for just water instead. or maybe coconut juice (fresh), pineapple juice (no sugar) and cranberry juice are much better than those carbonated drinks.
I've heard from my doctor that cranberry juice are the best kind of juice.

A Coca Cola glass contains 9 spoons of sugar. That's a huge amount if he drinks so many cans. One Coca Cola pack contains about 300 ml of drink. It also has many other chemicals like colors, I think also caffeine, and it's just not healthy.
Cranberry juice can help with its antioxidants to fight against heart diseases. I prefer fresh natural juice from fruits.

This idiot will not listen! Alot of people at work have told him how bad the soda is but he could care less! I am sure his doctor has told him,too! He doesn't care about his health! He has a girlfreind and you'd think he would do it for her? Not! He is probaly telling her he is but isn't in reality no! The way this dumb azz is he will die of heart issues young like his mom did!

Evidently he doesn't care too much about his health. Sounds like an absolutely awful diet. I have a friend who is extremely overweight. He told me he likes it this way. I ways probably about four hundred pounds. He figures he'll have a massive heart attack one day. Doesn't expect to suffer very long. I don't understand that thinking. I honestly would find that kind of unhealthy lifestyle to be filled with inconveniences.

There are many inconveniences for sure : When he needs to carry a heavy thing, his blood flow slower because of the sugar concentration in his blood. His blood becomes more clogged, more sticky. His heart will have to work a lot harder to do simple tasks.
He won't be able to run and play outside with anyone, he will need to take a nap more often...That's what he will have to deal with.

if he is already having heart issues, drinking so much soda drinks would only add up to his discomforts. but if despite what happened to his mom he still doesn't care what may possibly happen to him too i think it would be difficult for anyone to make him understand the consequences of his habitual soda drinking.

The more he doesn't take care of himself the more likely he;ll die of a young age! He is not just over doing the soda but not taking his meds! For cholestral and his heart! people have tried to make him understand! He just doesn't get it! If not that he just doesn't care!

Thanks a ton for sharing the discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right, soda is not the perfect drink and of it is consumed with some other drink in small amounts once a week or a month then there is no issue but having it on a daily basis might not be a good option at all. I think he needs to understand this thing very soon and avoid bulging in so much of fast foods also keeping his health in mind.
What say?

This guy could care about his health! He just is not eating healthy and over doing the soda,he is not taking his medication! He is suppose to for high cholestral and for his haeart! You would think his girlfriend would make sure he does takes his meds! maybe she does try and maybe she thinks he does because he told her he was! Whatever the reason,this guy is a totaly idiot!

I've seen others who do similar but they don't have health problems... yet.
My sister's boyfriend for example will drink up a 12 pack in one day! And he is not shy about drinking your soda too. I'm thinking he'll become diabetic if he isn't careful or many more health issues.
As for this man, he is not being smart at all since he already has some heart issues. The problem with some people like this is they're so set in their ways whether with soda, smoking, drinking - they will not change even if it will mean they will die from it.

Most if not all sodas are bad for you. I know a plummer here in Mexico who tells people to put a coke in a kitchen drain and leav eit overnight to unclogg a drain. So do you think sodas are bad for us?? I do.

They are really not the healthiest drinks but some people like it from time to time. Not every time though.

It is well known that if you put an egg in a coca cola glass, the egg will lose it's calcium after some time. Coca Cola hurts bones and teeth for that reason.
Now , how can the coca cola help with unclogging ? That's interesting. Maybe it takes away the stone that accumulates. How does it work ?

Coke will take the rust of a nail! If you put it on meat and let it sit for like a week,the coke dissolves the meat! Coke is the worst of the sodas! The other soda's aren't much better! One sister-in-law is a nurse and she told me how bad it can be for a person's bones and teeth! Robbing the body of calcuim! My sister is addicted to Diet Mountian Dew. She won't cut back unless her husband quits smoking!
He has being trying but until he stops she will be stubborn with her diet Dew! I know she had to have some of her teeth's enamal replaced form drinking so much of the soda! I don't think she has been tested for osteoporosis yet. I would not dobut she has it or is on her way to it!

Personally there is nothing anyone can say or do to get this guy to change his way of thinking but himself. Just like a woman I work with who is Diabetic and one minute talks about how she needs to eat right and avoid carbs, etc. and then even in the next sentence almost is sitting there drinking a regular Soda or a Lemonade with lots of sugar in it, and making people think she really knows how to take care of herself.
Yes, it is their own bodies and in reality it is up to them. We may always want to find judgement, but personally the only one living their lives is themselves.

This guy is a total moron! He doesn't care about himself! Alot of his bragging is for attention! He is so clueless about his bragging! Now he is going around bragging he that he is either not taking his heart and cholestral medicine at all or just sometimes! The way he is going,he will die of heart disease like his mom before he is 60!

That is sad that he doesnt see how bad this is for him with his heart issues. But I guess if he does understand he just doesnt care. Its nice of you to care about him enough to worry. I think if you havent you should say something about how unhealthy this is for him.

I have acid reflux disease. I have given up soda,tomatoes,tomato products(like tomato sauce on pizza's),OJ and going to fast food resturants except for Subway. I have tried to give up chocolate. I have not ben able to that! I have let some of my other bad habits take over lately! I have not found a way to sleep on an incline when i try to sleep in bed! I end up sleeping on my side or waking up with a backache! So must nights I sleep in my recliner on an incline. Right now I am very frustrated! I was hoping seeing this guy take lousey care of himself would motivate me to work on my issues but it hasn't! It just has made me think this guy is a ticking time bomb and has no common sense about all his heart issues! So we will see! With him and his heart problems and me with the acid reflux disease!

I don't know about other countries but here in our country there was a rumour or suspected case I am not sure, but they claim they found pesticides in the soft drinks. It was Pepsi i guess, but again not sure. Anyways, that thing is there no more now, it was an old case, but anyways we have to know that too much of those things are bad for our health. Have something organic, too much of organic normally isn't bad for our health but things such as soda and fast foods, there is a lot of cholesterol in them and what not. We have to try and take into account of the diet we are consuming into our bodies.

Until an evidence emerges to prove it is harmful to drink much soda, I do not think he will change. It takes a strong evidence to accept a belief that is against our own. So if the evidence does not exist, expect his habit to continue. He should have heard something that can make him think twice enough. If he combines soda with other healthy food such as veggies however, there is less need to be worried.

The guy is hopeless! He doesn't get it! I don't think he will ever get it! He is quite the moron! Now the moron is bragging he doesn't at all or not all the time,taking his meds for his heart and cholestral! He'll kill himself for not taking care of himself sooner or later!

Perhaps, you you are correct. If one has health issues, then promoting the peculiar habits which involves drinking in excess and or eating the wrong types of food -as described by you in your comments- shall make the 'conditions' potentially worse for that individual.
If that individual (referred to in your example) does not care about his wellbeing, then eventually, the world will hear/ read about his demise.

I love soda too, but I strive to have a healthy lifestyle whenever I can and balance out the healthy food intake so I won't be "too unhealthy"
If he's already had 2-3 stints in his heart, errr.. he should definitely be more careful because he's already at a risk. Also he knows of his family history and should definitely be more careful given the case with his mom. x_x

This guy does know and has been told the soda is not good for him. I think he either doesn't care or have a clue what he is doing to himself! the other day he was bragging he doesn't always take his meds for his heart and cholestral! He is has no common sense when it comes to this! He is such an idiot!
