Thread Name: BS: H2O v Coke
Subject: RE: BS: H2O v Coke
If I want something sweet and fizzy I stick to Irn Bru (made in scotland from girders). I read a while ago that Scotland is the only country where Coca-cola is out sold by another soft drink! Good for the Scots!

Also, anyone who is dieting, using diet drinks is counter productive, as it actually makes you more hungry. Your taste receptors tell your brain that there is something sweet coming, and as far as your body is concerned, sweet means sugar. So the body anticipates a sugar rush by reducing glucose in the bloodstream. When the sugar doesnt actually arrive, you are left with low blood sugar and will tend to eat more calories compared with if you had a sugary drink, or water.
