Clinical research suggests the former, while preclinical research suggests the latter. So, it's probably a combination of both. xx

the more sugary stuff you consume, the more 'unhealthy gut bacteria you grow (for want of a better word) - this means that your body struggles more to get the nutrients out of food, so you actually nourish your body less - and also the trigger that tells your body you are full doesn't work, so you just keep craving and eating sugar (which is the vicious circle of having unhealthy gut bacteria).


Which is a very simple way of explaining it. You body is fooled.


Sports drinks are better for you than fizzy drinks - they actually replenish your body with nutrients - yes there is also sugar - I didn't say that there wasn't. There are studies that prove the telomeres in your cells are reduced (shortened) from fizzy drinks, which causes your cells to age...


Diet fizzy drinks are full of artificial sweetners, which again are not good for you.


But if, you're persuaded one way or the other by inconclusive evidence in either direction, I'm guessing you'll just drink it anyway and ignore the obvious.

Sorry to be ignorant, but when you say "fizzy drinks" do you just mean those with sugar, or is the fizz itself detrimental? When I'm off the beer, as at present, I'm fond of sparkling mineral water - is that actually bad for one?

    • Chatgpt is a joy (and scary)  No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry) (Verse 1) No water… on Barry Road No water… on Barry Road Said, I remember, when we used to flow In the tap by the old front gate Oba served us clear, sweet water Then it vanished like fate And then the plumber would come in the evening Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight" But every time we checked the faucet It was still a dusty fight (Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… yeah On Barry Road (Verse 2) I see the buckets lined up outside Hope in every pail we hold The sun be blazing, the kids be crying And the kettle’s running cold Good friends we had, and good friends we lost To the drought along the way In this bright future, we can't forget the past But we sure need water today (Chorus) No water… no flowin’ tide On Barry Road… we stand and sigh No water… but we still survive On Barry Road… we still try (Bridge) Oh, dry days will pass, I know Pipe dreams gotta start to flow But until then we wait and pray For rain or trucks to come our way (Final Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… no pride But still we rise… (It refused to sing it for me)
