One thing that needs to be stressed: this isn't just a problem of people drinking lots of soda because they like soda. This is a problem of people drinking soda because, for many, its all they have that's safe. This needs to be viewed as a water problem, not just a soda problem.

[@MarkyNomad2]

A lot of things can be blamed. Having traveled a bit in Mexico and currently traveling around here at the moment I think the main issue is the lack of education in rural areas and the fact that sugar is highly addictive. When you can choose between buying tasteless, boring water and a flavorful soda it's very easy to pick the last option, especially if you have to put in a bigger effort to find water since soda is so easily available. Edit: I just finished the video and the lady at 12:39 is a perfect example of the ignorance that is killing all these people. Also the fact that they drink soft drinks at the funeral of someone who died of diabetes is really sad to see. Edit: I love Mexico, I'm addressing a problem existing in the country, not a problem about the people or culture:) viva Mexico cabrones

[@mikeE997]

Soda is the one drink that's completely engineered for addiction... It's laced with sugar for the craving, caffeine for the boost, carbonation for texture, color for aesthetics. The sugar makes you desire it again but also gives you a crash, the caffeine's 2nd prong is to dehydrate you to make you thirsty again and now, you want more soda to give fulfill the craving and to undo the crash and to quench your thirst which full circle makes you thirsty, low energy and desiring again. Other than that, it serves absolutely no purpose other than to be consumed. I doesn't fill you up because (again with the caffeine) you urinate it right back out, it doesn't provide any nutrients and it doesn't quench your thirst.

[@Pantagana9000]

I stopped drinking soda all together because somebody gave me a sodastream machine and I realized how much sugar you have to put in once you carbonate the water to make it taste palatable. I just usaw squeeze drink flavorings without any coloring and it's fine... I think perhaps on the side of the bottle they could visually show how deep the sugar level was before they made the product into a liquid.

One of the most basic and honest things I've ever heard was that a man working with Amish farmers in the field asked one of them if they wanted to try Coca-cola and the farmer was like No way, not because he was Amish, but he went on to pour some of it on the cement walk way and said look where I poured that coke out. Look at it in a couple hours, and a couple hours later the cement began to dissolve and eroded the surface a great deal to a point where it was rough to the touch. Then he asked why would you put that in your body, it literally melts stone. What does it do to your stomach. It doesnt have healing properties, if anything it has extreme toxicity and extremely high acidity

Coca Cola is heavily marketed in México, it's actually kind of interesting when you think about it. Mexicans are very family oriented people and coca cola has brand associations with closeness, sharing and togetherness among family and friends. I'm not saying it's good that Coca Cola is marketed so much there but that Mexican consumer habits and taste align exactly with how Coca Cola markets itself. EDIT: Thanks for all the likes ! 🙏 I'm aware the primary issue is lack of drinking water, if anyone has any ways of donating or maybe even sending packages of bottled water to these communities please let me know in the comments.

[@wolflarsen1900]

@@tdh7865 muha ha ha again such a "nothing knower" (probably a bad translation of german to english).my friend.. Firstly, the coffine in coca cola makes NO DIFFERECE WHATSOEVER for the healthyness of sprite and coce in comparision. There is only an extreme low amount of coffine in coca cola. 8mg per 100ml! 8 mg! A coffe contains 50 mg per 100ml. And even coffee is healthy and everybody should 8 cops of it every day. And even if you drink 3 cans of it every day its still healthy. and even if it would not be even healthy, it would have had no relevance whatsoever in comparision to the effect of the extreme amount of sugar in sprite and cola. And that you talk about the addictiveness of coffeine, is the most absurd thing of all. The addictiveness of coffeine is in comparision to any other addictive stuff we know, nearly not existing. Even after 10 yeras of 3 cans of coffee. And even if it would be addictive, what is not the case in any relevant sense of the world ! it is great, because coffeine is eitherway healthy and so it makes you drink healthy drinks more often. (by the way sugar is also 100 times more addictive than coffeine xd) And even if it would be addictive (nearly not the case) and unhealthy (opposite is true), it wouldnt matter in the slightest in comparision to the effects of 11 g suger per 100 ml. to even think about the effects of 8 mg coffeine per 100ml cola as an argument for sprite is better than cola, is laughtable and stunning people today know NOTHING about what they consume their hole day, how is that possible to be so IGNORANT about soft drinks.
