Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy? (lemmy.world)

I think it's fine. You do you.

Contrary to popular belief, diet soda is completely fine in moderation (like 20 cans per day limit), assuming your teeth/guts can handle the acidity. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCDqqVwYMa4

Coffee typically doesn't have much or any sugar in it. It's caffeine, water, milk. It has more caffeine than soda so it feels better to take it in the morning

20 cans a day is moderation to you? Wow.

[-] EthicalDogMeat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's the limit of safe intake.

You should spend some time learning how to vet sources. That's not a reliable source.

I get that it's a youtube video but Dr Mike knows his stuff. He goes through WHO's recommendations and gives his practical input on the matter.
