Which is healthier, soda pop or beer?

Question

Which is better, or least bad, for your body, a beer a day or a Coke a day? Please choose one of the two and support your answer.

Answer 1

This is a pretty easy answer. Soda has no significant nutritional value, while beer in moderation has the following attributes:

--reduction in chances of stroke
--beer has antioxidents & B6, thus a reduction in chances of heart disease
--beer increases good cholesteral (HDL) in your body
--beer is fat & cholesteral free
--beer helps relax you & helps you sleep better

The key is moderation, like 1 a day, as you asked. That way the negative effects of beer are eliminated (liver disease, impared driving, etc). In the end, the final recommendation is:

stay away from soda and drink one beer a day.

Answer 2

Let's see...

The alcohol in beer can impair your ability to drive, throw darts, count to 10 backwards, and overall deterioriates your liver and brain function if you overdo it on a regular basis.

The sugar in Coke can make you fat, diabetic (if you're prone to it), and rot your teeth. The phosphors are also supposed to eat away at the calcium in your bones but again, if you overdo it on a regular basis.

Conclusion: I would say the soda is healthier. You may end up fat old man, with no teeth, and needing a cane but at least you won't end up hammered waiting for a liver transplant and not being able to drive to hospital since your license was suspended. ;)

Answer 3

The beer has some nutritional value, the coke is mainlining sugar.

Answer 4

Probably neither one is healthy to have in excess, but beer's yeast can help out with neutralizing stomach bacteria, so I'd probably choose beer.

Answer 5

none soda pop and beer are both bad not a healthy choice.

Answer 6

One beer a day is proven to be good for your heart.

Answer 7

You should know by now that neither of the above is good for health. However, having them on rare occasion is OK. Get to drinking fruit juice or vegetable juice. You can add honey to vegetable juice.

Answer 8

for some reason i want to say beer. too much sugar and crap in soda.

Answer 9

well budy, beer kills your brain cells and coke gives u cavities...but i would say a coke a day is better b/c people can fix/replace your teeth, they can't fix/replace your brain cells.

Answer 10

none those are both not healthy but you asked i guess soda pop it has less yeast
