swimming in diet coke

[juiceddreadlocks]

doesnt that shit dehydrate you like mad?

Like dont you have to drink a glass of water, just to take care of the damage that 1 can of diet coke does?

I always drink non caffinated diet pop

that still doesnt take care of the effects of the carbonation.

I wonder how much coke is actually in there if you took out the carbonation.

No way, I'm a psych major.

I heard carbonation was bad for your teeth, and also that it isnt good for runners, but I havent heard any reason to believe that it would dehydrate somebody, so why should it matter if its carbonated?

Your body recognizes carbonation as a toxin/poison. Therefore, it takes the appropriate action. Whatever the fuck that is.

i would assume increased HR and respiratory rate to expell all the excess CO2. im not totally sure though, just a guess. i dont know if you could ever really drink enough carbonation to induce a form shift in hemoglobin, to make the tense form more favored... dunno.

I started out strong, but just couldn't finish. Story of my life, actually. Nelson Montana wrote an article in Musclemag that I read about a year ago that discussed this topic. I can't remember exactly what carbonation does on a cellular level, but one of the by-products is that it inhibits the uptake of amino acids in the small intestine.
