Question 2

is drinking sodas bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Sodas are the classic empty calorie if they are sugared.  They are carbonated and so acidic.  So they supply calories you might not need and can do some teeth damage taken regularly.   An occasional soda is not a problem.

Question 3

is drinking coffe bad for health?

Accepted Answer

Conflicting studies: There have been many research studies on the health effects of coffee with very conflicting results- some find it may be harmful, others find benefits. I believe large amounts of coffee are likely harmful but 1-2 cups a day is probably safe. People react variably but if you enjoy it use in moderation.

Please don't: It can dehydrate you.

Question 8

is drinking a 2-liter or more a day, bad for u.

Accepted Answer

No: Our body requires water to support many of our metabolic needs. The latest high powered study that came out about a year ago shows that those who are active and drink close to 4L of water per day reduce their risk of chronic kidney disease later in life by a factor of 2.5! So you would be fine around or above 2L, especially at the age of 35. I drink close to 3L daily. Just don't go downing gallons

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: Drinking alcohol in moderation has proven positive health effects. Drinking alcohol in 'excess' can be deadly. I would discuss the type, frequency, amount etc. With your physician so they can guide you.

Question 10

how bad is it to drink a 2 liter bottle of soda in a day?

Accepted Answer

In one day?: No big deal.

On a regular basis, i'd give it a 7 on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the worst.
