1366258 2014-01-29 08:38:00 I nowadays use a soda stream to aerate plain water which makes it more tasty without the sugar added. I bet that some scientist will in the future tell us that the air bubbles produced by a soda stream causes cancer or is otherwise bad for us. Bobh (5192)
1366259 2014-01-29 09:37:00 Soda stream is CO2 not air so that would be carbonate :P and you're the 2nd person who's mentioned doing that recently, can't stand soda water myself.
It is a very mild acid but I don't believe there's anything particularly bad about it, we breathe CO2 in all the time. No doubt breathing causes cancer though, best we all stop doing it.

.

Have you actually tried that with a diabetic? I can tell you it doesn't.

1366262 2014-01-30 01:18:00 Lets all avoid artificial additives in favor of naturally occurring substances in foods .
arsenic
solanine and chaconine
phytohaemagglutinin
All rather nasty, perhaps its time to just ban food ? :D ban the sale of raw veges


On a serious note, my Boss once asked me why I drank Coke & suggested water from the cooler instead
I couldnt think of any reason why I drank coke, in hindsight it doesnt even taste that great.
So why do we drink coke instead of cooled water ? just the sugar hit ? habit ?

Because most likely it is addictive, but don't include me in your all embracing "we", never touch the rotten stuff :)

Water rusts the inside of steel tanks... that's good enough reason for me

The caffeine in it, probably.

1366266 2014-01-30 18:09:00 Flavour obviously, maybe it doesn't taste great to you but it does to me. I'll drink water, but I get no particular enjoyment from it. Flavoured drinks on the other hand I rather enjoy.
I periodically decide to quite drinking soft drinks and switch to water, I think two weeks is the longest that's lasted.
