'I respect my liver, but put lots of unhealthy stuff into it to fuck it up'
How someone who is so into gym can drink 2.5L of soft drink a day is hilarious too. I bet he drinks it straight from the 1.25L bottles

So you say Cola Light is ok but Diet Coke isn't? Too bad Cola Light is actually Diet Coke. The study suggested greater than 2 servings a day is unhealthy yet you are having about 10,
every day.

Diet Coke USA Description
You are a really bad reader, are you ?
I was comparing Cola Light, to diet soda. There are many different kinds of that. I wasent comparing Cola Lights amongst each other.
The reason i mentionned the european one, is because a project group from my freshman class in 2009/2010 had something to do with different kinds of soda, one of the pivotal things was measuring the acidity, with was close to pH 5.0.
When looking at the ingredients of Cola Light, there isnt a single one that is remotely hard on the liver, apart from methanol, but thats in such low concentration it doesnt even matter.
For my health, i never drink alcohol, and very very rarely drink something sugar based.
What you come up with, is something you dont understand, cause you arent a scientist. There are 2 kind of studies.
The first can prove trough specific reactions in some way, that a substance does this, or reacts with that, or is damaging because of that. They
document where and how it does that.
Second kind are studies that dont have direct proof something is bad, so they just use a big number of lab animals, or human volunteers, and see if anything changed whatsoever. This second kind can only say "it increases the odds off" but cannot say why or how, because they dont know.
These second kind of studies, become very commen. Basically everything induces cancer according to them nowadays.
The first kind of study cannot prove a single thing wrong with coke Light. The second has very small odds, that a very rare thing happens to females. Unless they come up with something better, i'm not going to bother.
Is chocolate really that damaging to your development?
Development, is all about recovering. Its about synthesising new hormones and protein, new tissue, to recover from microtrauma. So its important the liver can do its work.
Both chocolate and alcohol are VERY demanding for the liver to break down. They'll take like forever, meaning your synthesis will be running very low speed, whilst lifting is all about optimising the synthesis.
You can see this in certain people actually. When someone has a weak performing liver, usually females, and they eat a bunch of chocolate, they can get some acnee in their face for a few days. Recent studies link those to the liver.
This is not against you, Zach. My ex studied food science; I know how advanced it is. But I've been saying for a while that it really is sad how everything about food has become scientific. By that, I mean in our everyday life (don't eat or do this etc.) - we never lived longer, ffs.
The truth is, we don't know much about obesity
I cant agree more. As i said above, everything is told to be inducing cancer these days. I personally dont mind that they perform the first kind of studies, in wich they can directly link a compound to certain issues.
But i really got fed up with these "odds" studies
We know certain things about obesity, but not everything. Hence, some people drink regular Coke all their live and eat like a swine with high colesterol, and become 70+.
What about Coca Cola Zero? Can I go crazy there too?
Probably. I drink it when i go out.

It freaks me out when I regularly see studies and people doing research if eggs are healthy or not. Even nowadays some say yolks are bad, some say they are super healthy. Seriously... ?
Yeah, and thats allways the "odds" studies, because they cant directly prove it.
I have yet to meet someone who ate less then 1.2grams of fat/kg bodyweight, and ate 4 to 8 eggs pet day and got cholesterol issues
Just about every good lifter i know does it. Yet when you tell someone, they freak out cause "eggs are bad" !
"carb craving", people using this kind of phrases should be shot.
