Alpo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 There are folks out there (and I don't mean the ones that HAVE TO) who will tell you, with a tone of superiority in their voice, "I only drink BOTTLED WATER", or, "I'm going GLUTEN FREE this month". I had a young lady staying with me after Michael's visit, and she asked what I had to drink. I told her I had both Coke AND Dr Pepper. And she told me, "I don't drink BROWN SODAS". She had no problem with drinking my ginger ale, and later she went to the store and bought some Sunkist, so she wasn't sponging off me. It was just that, "I don't drink BROWN soda" thing that got me Why not? What's wrong with brown soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Right or not, some theorize that they contribute to kidney stone formation. Been there and done that ~ haven't sworn off completely, but have gone from frequent to seldom on the consumption schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have kidney stones and was urged to give up all carbonated products, which I did and haven’t had an attack in 30 years or so. Could be what she was getting at.

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 https://www.stjoes.ca/patients-visitors/patient-education/k-o/PD 3084 Kidney Stones and Diet.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3731916/ Results The analysis involved 194,095 participants; over a median follow-up of more than 8 years, 4462 incident cases occurred. There was a 23% higher risk of developing kidney stones in the highest category of consumption of sugar-sweetened cola compared with the lowest category (P for trend=0.02) and a 33% higher risk of developing kidney stones for sugar-sweetened noncola (P for trend=0.003); there was a marginally significant higher risk of developing kidney stones for artificially sweetened noncola (P for trend=0.05). Also, there was an 18% higher risk for punch (P for trend=0.04) and lower risks of 26% for caffeinated coffee (P for trend<0.001), 16% for decaffeinated coffee (P for trend=0.01), 11% for tea (P for trend=0.02), 31%–33% for wine (P for trend<0.005), 41% for beer (P for trend<0.001), and 12% for orange juice (P for trend=0.004). Conclusions Consumption of sugar-sweetened soda and punch is associated with a higher risk of stone formation, whereas consumption of coffee, tea, beer, wine, and orange juice is associated with a lower risk.

Actually I do often say "pu-monia" and "K-nife". just for poots and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 After I had a "boulder" extracted, the nephrologist told me to cut out all colas, even diet ones, as well as spinach! They contain oxilates, which contribute to the formation of calcium oxylate kidney stones. I quit cold turkey, and even the clear carbonated drinks bother my stomach, so those are out, too. I have had a couple of small stones since then, but the best thing is to "drown" yourself with water. Since many faucet waters are "hard", drinking bottled stuff may help.
