laragirl Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Is it true that they have banned Pepsi Max? For 2 weeks now, I've been in search of Pepsi Max in all supermarkets and hypermarkets. It's all gone. I settled with Coke Zero instead. But then the other day at Emporium, even Coke Zero was gone. And there were just a few Pepsi Max in cans, bought all I could find in the shelf. Then went to Villa J.Avenue and the same thing, no Pepsi Max and Coke Zero. I don't understand. Some of my Thai officemates says because there was some research that it causes cancer. Damn right. Alcohol and cigarettes are also proven to cause cancer right? They're still sold everywhere. I suppose diabetes is not seen as a problem? People think drinking the bottled teas full of sugar and fruit juice are so healthy. They're really with a lot of sugar. I just want my diet soda.

Neo Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I suggest you get used to drinking something less likely to kill you. Maybe water or green tea. I wouldn't touch that Max or Zero poison with a barge pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LasseDK Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Is it true that they have banned Pepsi Max? They havent here, and i hope that they never will. Dont like ordinary Pepsi, but Pepsi Max is in my opinion the absolute best diet coke that exists, also compared to Zero. The debate about light products, and how dangerous they might be seems to be split into two camps - i dont know what to believe, but i it doesnt stops me from drinking Max yet. Im pretty strict with calories in my daily intake - and if compared to one big glass of ordinary coke, i would be able to drink more than 10 litres of Pepsi Max to get the same amount of calories.

laragirl Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 i don't want to stop drinking pepsi max or even just coke zero... but if it runs out and they don't stock the shelves again, then it would just be water, brewed coffee and home-made iced tea [not sugar, but with artificial sweetener] for me i guess. fruit juice and bottled teas are just so full of sugar, i'd have diabetes in no time. right now, i have 22 cans left in my fridge. my boyfriend drinks it too, so i don't think it will last a long time. just today, i had 3 cans.

LasseDK Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 enjoy your drink If i should avoid anything that is proclaimed to be "cancer-risk" in my life, then i would probably die of thirst, starvation or lack of air. I dont say its not dangerous, i just havent seen serious proof that it is, ive seen alot of articles on the net giving it almost cyanide-capeabillities, but very few, if any, are serious research.

laragirl Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 yes, i'm enjoying whatever i have left. but my question is,if it is banned, then is it just here in Thailand? if it's not banned yet - then where are all the bottles gone? I really just want to know where I can get more. Like people who smoke a pack a day, i drink pepsi max a day. if they can have their addiction, why can't I?

I find there are many alternatives to drinking artificial drinks and foods. Even healthy foods are bad if to much is consumed. Its your life and your choice.

Admin_2 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Cites Danger to Health "CARACAS (Reuters) ? The Venezuelan government of U.S.-critic President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday ordered Coca-Cola Co to withdraw its Coke Zero beverage from the South American nation, citing unspecified dangers to health. The decision follows a wave of nationalizations and increased scrutiny of businesses in South America's top oil exporter. Health Minister Jesus Mantilla said the zero-calorie Coke Zero should no longer be sold and stocks of the drink removed from store shelves. "The product should be withdrawn from circulation to preserve the health of Venezuelans," the minister said in comments reported by the government's news agency. Despite Chavez's anti-capitalist policies and rhetoric against consumerism, oil-exporting Venezuela remains one of Latin America's most Americanized cultures, with U.S. fast-food chains, shopping malls and baseball all highly popular. Mantilla did not say what health risks Coke Zero, which contains artificial sweeteners, posed to the population. Coke Zero was launched in Venezuela in April and Coca-Cola Femsa, the Mexico-based company that bottles Coke products locally, said at the time it aimed to increase its market share for low calorie drinks by 200 percent. Neither Coca-Cola nor the bottler responded to requests for comment on Wednesday. The bottler was plagued with labor problems last year in Venezuela when former workers repeatedly blocked its plants demanding back pay. The government this year has seized a rice mill and pasta factory belonging to U.S. food giant Cargill and has threatened action against U.S. drug company Pfizer. Chavez has also nationalized a group of oil service companies including projects belonging to Williams Companies and Exterran." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090610/hl_nm/us_venezuela_coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mike Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Some of you guys are exactly right with your statements. Aspartame changes into a form of MSG in the body and it is in fact a carcinogenic form of a chlorinated substance. I wrote a journal about this almost a year ago on TF.
