I use to take 4 bottles of big stout every morning on empty stomach, then gym heavily before going to work when my body engines were sound. At some point, the taste changed, i dont know what happened. I suspect the distributor for that area put hand for bad thing. Stout is bae... One big bottle in you is on a healthy path.

what do really need a 600k bottle of wine for

There is nothing special about champagne, people pay for the brand not the substance.
Why do you bother to quote that "mama thank you" guy?

I'm very sure the guy life savings is not up to 20,000 naira but he will come nairaland to spew trash. I don't blame him rather I blame the parents that still habour and house him undecided

In the context of nutrition..

Which is the topic of the discussion..

The distinction between simple sugars and polysaccharides is more than academic..


What's funny is that you don't know your "polysaccharides" are also called complex sugars. If we can have simple sugars then what makes you think you can't have complex ones.

When many simple sugars are joined together, what are they called?

I studied carbohydrates for months.


Merry Christmas.

It took five years before OP’s urine showed him aftereffects? What was his fear again? Abegi, people disturb themselves too much over little things. Too much thinking will kill anyone.

Well, there's really no addictive substance in soft drinks so it's much easier to quit if you decide to, unlike cigarettes & alcohol.
this is not correct,sugar craving is very addictive,it is like drugs and you will drink any soft drink avalible if the craving hits

if you close your mouth people may think you to be a wise and sensible fellow,but when you decide to open your mouth and speak,be careful of what you say, because people will judge the content of your character out of what comes out of your mouth.

DroppingLiquid:



It's a good source of sugar and it's important. The OP is probably those kind of people that never do manual labor or exercise in their life. If you do manual labor or exercise, you tend to lower your blood sugar in the process, so drinking soda will not have a negative effect. Also, you can't always count on complex sugars in solid meal because it takes too long to break down and achieve the same effect as soda.

Also, he subsituted water for soda, which is more dangerous than anything.

Water is a thousand times better than soda.
Sugar is poison, call it what it is

What about taking beverage's like Milo and bournvita. Is it really bad

Get a tin of milo, look at the content you will notice it has 65% of carbohydrates of which 52.7% is sugar.

Hope you know what it means when more than half of the product is sugar?
Always consider sugar as a diluted poison. It will screw you in the long run
