There is no proven studies with this regard.. it is harmful though if you drink them all the time (2-4 meals a day!) because it's your kidneys that do most of the filtering of the protein shake products. You are better off eating high protein food than getting shakes... but I do believe having one shake after your workout is beneficial.\nMike

The sugar might turn into fat when it gets into your system, but not until then.\nKeep in mind, diet softdrinks aren't any better for you than the sugar loaded ones- the artificial sweeteners are suspected of causing mental problems and more.  the carbonation is bad for you too.  If anyone has the willpower to drink only water, milk, and maybe a little fruit juice (no sugar added)- will find themselves feeling and looking better in a few weeks.

Bad for you....is a difficult question to answer.   It is high in sugar and caffeine, which in certain situations can be very helpful.  It isn't good for you in terms of nutrition, but I don't see anything negative about having one every now and then.  If you need a pick me up, it is completely safe.   It has about the same about of sugar as 1 soda and more caffeine.   I would not recommend drinking more than 1 per day.

No, if anything beer gives you empty calories and can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) by consuming all of the NAD+ in your liver cells.  Then you'll get the craving to eat, and just put on a lot of excess weight.  Try exercise, that might make you stronger.

Alcohol is in alcohol.  Ethanol.  The water and fruit juice and all that stuff is pretty benign (but will make you fat if you drink too much of it.)\n\nAlcohol in moderate quantities is not a problem.  Excessive alcohol can cause problems with your liver, heart, brain, judgment, driving, etc.

Yes you may need to take 5 minute brakes and drink Gatorade or Powerade. The thing to avoid is drinking,Red Bull,Monsters or any other type of energy drink like that.  This is because the red bull will only give you a moments burst of energy while gatorade will keep you powered up for quite sometime and keep you hydrated.

well caffeine doesn't give you energy per se.\n\nbut what it basically does is give you an "energy high."\n\nwhat this means is that it speeds up your metabolism, making everything seemingly faster.\n\nnow, the reason why caffeine may be bad for you is that it basically messes up your metabolism, which are usually the "caffeine lows" which are basically when you feel like you have no energy.\n\nso thats why. also it can become addictive. also it may be bad for you skin.

It appears that there are some sports agencies that will test for excess amounts of caffiene.  According to the link below, there are risks of failing a drug test due to excessive consumption of Red Bull due to a ban on sports drinks.  Employers willl generally test for a handful of specific drug metabolites.  If I remember correctly, the five are THC (marijuana), opiates (heroin, morphine, some prescription pain killers), amphetamines (crystal math, ice, ecstacy, "black beauties"), cocaine (including crack), and PCP.  Very few tests look for more than these five.

Below is an excerpt from Real Dangers of Drinking Soda\n\nPhosphoric Acid: May interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones. Phosphoric acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients. \n\nSugar: Soft drink manufacturers are the largest single user of refined sugar in the United States. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar. \n\nAspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilispsy/seizures. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time or kept in warm areas it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens. \n\nCaffeine: Caffeinated drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some forms of cancer.\n\nTap Water: I recommend that everyone avoid drinking tap water because it can carry any number of chemicals including chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, cadmium, and various organic pollutants. Tap water is the main ingredient in bottled soft drinks. \n\nSoda is one of the main reasons, nutritionally speaking, why many people suffer health problems. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs.

Does it??? I know a glass a day of red wine is supposed to be good for you.\nMen shouldn't go above 14 units a week (or was it 21, lol)\nBasically everything in moderation!!

I've been drinking Diet Sodas for the past few years -- started the same time as I started Weight Watchers. Ironically enough, I now drink more diet drinks than I ever drank regular drinks. The caffeine has me in it's claws! :) I think there are studies that prove aspartame (an ingredient in most diet drinks and flavored drinks) can be harmful. I still drink them. I found the weeks I drank them less and focused on water, I felt much better. So, the best bet is probably just to stay away from them as much as possible.\n\nI always used the dieting mantra "Everything in moderation" and I think that definitely applies to diet drinks as well. Good luck with your dieting.

no, not at all.  but with all tastey things, keep the consumption low, no more than two per day (16oz), because drinking soft drinks in excessive amounts has been shown to decrease the absorption of calcium into bones, which could eventually lead to osteoporosis.  also, an excessive intake of sugar is never good for anyone.  i stick to the one soda a day rule, but its ok to cheat and have two.

Anything in large amounts is bad, but a ice cold beer on a hot summers day is good, not because it's intoxicating, but because it's refreshing and relaxing. About the vit b12 i have no clue, but i have heard that a beer or glass of wine a day can help prevent a heart attack, then again i could be misinformed about it so don't quote me.
