What non-water drink isn't bad for you? Plain teas and black coffees?
Serious question. My dentist told me this same thing about soda and offered zero flavored alternatives. Like yeah, I could also eat white rice, broccoli, and chicken every meal and live a long, healthy, miserable life.
My dentist told me most of the issues with soda at least for dental health can be mitigated by rinsing with water afterwards so that the low ph environment that results in enamel decay doesn't last long enough to do serious damage
Isn't that the same idea as using a straw?
Not unless you put it down your throat
Just inject it into your veins.
An IV drip during the meal.
Have you tried water with ice?
Mmm ice flavour, my second favourite after air flavour
Seriously though they said flavoured alts
I've been drinking San Pellegrino ciao sparkling waters, they have like one gram of sugar and still taste sweet. I drink the shit out of these things
Fuck nestle
If you are drinking that much, just get a carbonator. Sugar drinks are really bad for you but spending money on putting co2 in water and shipping it all over the place is bad for all of us. You'll save money and you can dial in flavors and sweetness really easily yourself.
Sorry? PFAS?
I don't even know what I was trying to say there. Edited it to putting co2. Maybe putting flavors? Anyway you get the idea.
Agree. I have a soda stream and it's great. I do buy the syrups occasionally (sugar free) but there are plenty of other ways to add flavor.
Cant buy a soda streamer without supporting pissrael genocide either lol
