Question

Answer 1

ik so do i i drink like 2 or more liters a day it keeps mr frim gaining weight and overeating, it is so possible to get addicted your gonna rot your teeth out of your mouth pop is a 2 on the acidity of ph thats horrible and the caffine makes coke so addicting

Answer 2

LOL when coca cola was first made, it contained real cocaine... talk about needing it then!

It gives a good bite, doesn't it? Since you dont' crave just any soda or coffee... it might not be the caffeine, nor even the sugar (diet coke has little) but it could be the chemicals in it...

It also could be something that comforts you... maybe you have good memories associated with drinking coke, something you haven't even recalled. I don' t know that I'd call that an addiction though.

Answer 3

In life, addcition is possible not only to Coca-Cola or Diet Coke alone. Any object, substance, behaviour, habits such as eating/drinking,smoking reading etc. are all subject to addiction when these are tested and continued for an unlimited period. Remember, a strong WILL can only remove addiction of any kind for which you prepare your heart and I am sure you will succed. Best wishes.

Answer 4

I have really tried to kick the coca-cola habit and I have such a hard time. My head pounds 12 hrs-a day after my last serving. I try to stick it out, but I always end up having a serving to make the headache go away and then I end up following the cycle. I know its coca-cola and not caffeine b/c I'll try to drink coffee or take a caff pill instead and the headache still hangs out in my head. Ahhh, the best cure for this is sticking it out without coca cola for as long as you can and the symptoms do lessen.

Answer 5

I know exactly how you feel. I drink Diet coke like water. it is very possible to become addicted to it. its very true that the regular coke is better for u, because there is no aspartame in it, which is the worst part about diet pop. its is the caffeine that's addicting, if u plan to cut down, do it VERY very gradually, otherwise there is a risk for shock to the system as well as headaches and all those lovely withdrawal symptoms lol. hope that helps

Answer 6

nope - you don't need it - here's why

HFCS is diabolical
that's High Fructose Corn Syrup - a cheap form of sugar
it has the calories - BUT - bypasses your brain in telling
it - HEY - I'M FULL -
so you keep eating - and there GOES THE DIET!!

soda is also diabolical - in that after you've had one
you want ANOTHER!

then you have to drink water to hydrate your body

not to mention what phosphorus does to your muscles and bones

EXPERIMENT TIME
get a small glass juice glass (sounds redundant)
pour it half full of Coke
take a nail - tie a string on it - and suspend it halfway
into the liquid
(HINT: put the end of the string under the glass to hold it)

leave it for 24 hours - then come back and check it

what happened to the nail - - - - - - - - -
works on your bod the same way

yep - we're addicted

sorry
