It's also always the first thing on the list for "if you want to lose weight, you need to stop these things today"

So it's really a moot point what 20 or 30 cans a day might do to a lab rat

At the end of the day, your body is designed to consume natural whole foods and water - when you depart from that, for most people there is going to be negative health consequences in one form or another, at some point in their life. So people being shocked that they can't live on Pepsi, Pop Tarts and cheese sticks is retarded
