like, it’s caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it’s no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized
the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there’s antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn’t count
Carbonated anything is bad for your bones and teeth, long term. That’s not avoidable by drinking diet soda. Artificial sweeteners have been shown to still cause simular effects in the body to actual sugar in some cases, and other health issues over time.
Coffee drinks as typically ordered at Starbucks are also filled with unhealthy additions and should be treats, not daily staples. Plain drip coffee taken black is healthier, but rather gross, yet I know people who drink it
I’m team tea, myself. Definitely the superior drink. Actually strengthens your teeth (stains them yet makes them stronger) if you dont add sugar. Just don’t carbonate it or add too much other stuff to it if you’re after health.
Plain coffee with unsweetened almond milk!
Hmm almond milk, I’ve always wondered how you milk an almond.
Is it from the pointy end?
I drink black coffee, americanos or espresso. No milks, no sugar. Either you like coffee or you like milk and sugar. Might as well have a hot chocolate at that point.
I really don’t care about how people feel about something I drink and I don’t care what they drink. I think coffee tastes nasty so I stick to sodas and tea for breakfast
People care? Do what you want to do, it’s your life. Have fun.
Coffee helps me poop.
red bull does the same for me lol
i drink diet soda so it’s no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda
Lol if you think diet soda is healthy, I wanna try to scam you because you’re completely gullible.
Basically the same drink? How?
Cup of black coffee and a cup of cola look similar, I guess…
I wonder what those at !coffee@lemmy.world have to say about this.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !coffee@lemmy.world
Sodas have high fructose corn syrup which is a type of sugar. One soda contains 18 packets of sugar [1]. This is far more than coffee for the average person. Now if you consider diet sodas those use aspertame as a sweetener and so it’s basically sweet’n’low packets. So on a pure sugar content perspective coffee is healthier.
Soda has been known to eat away teeth [2]. While coffee does so as well, it’s to a lesser degree[3]. So long-term physically, coffee is better.
If you consider nutritional benefits and ignore the antioxidants like you said, coffee is still mostly water and therefore can count to your water intake [4]. Soda is also water as you might imagine, it being a drink, but again, to a lesser degree.
That said, if you drink diet soda in the morning you do you. You shouldn’t feel judged for wanting to eat something in moderation. But know that coffee has proven health benefits and soda has proven health detriments. These things apply to sodas at whatever time of day.
Corn syrup and chemicals but I’m not sure why people are downvoting your reasonable question
I downvoted because this doesn’t feel like a casual conversation, more like trying to start an argument.
Pineapple belongs on pizza
Right there with jalapeño.
Thank you. I thought I lost my craving for pizza but I just got it back!
People will try to tell you to add meat too, but nah, not on this one. Enjoy!
I was going to add meat but I just love meat.
Username, as they say, checks out!
People love their social norms. You wouldn’t believe the shit I got when I stopped eating breakfast. “Most important meal of the day!” I feel great fasting and don’t miss it at all. I’ll eat cereal for dinner. You have a fucking diet soda in the morning if you want.
Breakfast has always been my least important meal of the day… I’d rather have an extra 10 minutes in bed.
that’s why breakfast for dinner is where its at
Because people aren’t pouring 30-40 grams of sugar into their coffee. Also artificial sweeteners taste like shit and haven’t been proven to not cause other health issues.
Drink water.
Your reasoning is on level with religious people claiming that atheists have to prove that god doesn’t exist.
How do you prove that you are not a murderer?
If you ain’t chugging the glass of water off your night stand as the very first drink of the morning, y’all are missing out.
After that, I have a NOS. Energy Drinks are the socially acceptable morning beverage that isn’t coffee. Or orange juice. Or milk.
