Caffeine And Drinks You probably already know that the ingredients on any product are put in order of percentage. If sugar, corn syrup, fructose, dextrose, or some other form of it is one of the first ingredients, then you know the product is packed or loaded with and dominated by sugar. Have you ever wondered why, when you go to most supermarkets, about 60 percent of the soda drinks are caffeinated? Did you ever actually stand still and notice that? And did you also notice that there are more of them than others in the refill machines at fast food restaurants? This is not a coincidence, and it is not just because of the flavor. Other soda flavors are just as yummy and contain as much sugar, but they are often less popular? Why? Because a lot of people are addicted to caffeine. It is estimated, for instance, that about 90 percent of all Americans drink caffeine every day. This includes coffee, tea, soft drinks or chocolate. The caffeine dosage in chocolate is significantly lower though, so most often it’s less problematic, although chocolate contains other addictive substances. Caffeine is a stimulant similar to “more serious” drugs, which is why the name ends with “-ine,” kind of like “heroin” and “cocaine.” People who are addicted, have similar symptoms during withdrawal, like headaches, anxiety, aggression, irritability, and others, although those symptoms are less severe and last for a shorter period of time than if they had to recover from illegal (hard) drugs. Although caffeine doesn’t cause more dehydration than other sugary drinks, it still doesn’t quench your thirst and makes you urinate more. I knew a guy, some years ago, who drank a 2 liter bottle of caffeinated soda each day, and he had to use the restroom constantly! He was clearly addicted, because he wouldn’t drink any non-caffeinated drinks, and he even mixed up the Dr. Pepper, Coca Cola, or Mountain Dew when he got bought extra large cups at gas stations. If you can, try to avoid sugar and caffeinated drinks, especially if youare trying to lose weight. Sprinting for 10 minutes makes you lose 300 calories. I remember I was sprinting for about 10 minutes on the treadmill. It’s exhausting, I can tell you. And yes, you are reading it correctly... not jogging... SPRINTING! That means that if I only drink about two glasses of soda, I would have to go through that draining process every time. Just think about all the calories you have to burn by drinking a little can or bottle of soda.. A can of soda contains about 140 calories. That’s a lot, isn’t it? I didn’t make those numbers up. And it’s not much different in other sodas. They are supposed to taste good, not to make you lose weight. If you want to lose weight, drink water. If you want to run for almost 5 minutes full speed on a treadmill, then be my guest and keep drinking soda, but it will be hard to keep up. ...read more
