@@meanguuurlfetch6853 That is why it was called Coca-Cola. Coca as in cocaine and cola as in the kola nut which contains caffeine. it was invented by Confederate General John Pemberton to substitute morphine which he was addicted to.
@Over under Sideways down what makes you think this person is a Millennial? If you’re a baby boomer you are just as bad. Gen X would like the rest of you to shut the hell up and get to work.
“Actually, this individual bottle has no more calories than half a grapefruit” Me: Googles how many calories a bottle of coke was in 1961 Also me: How big was that grapefruit?!
They were 6.5 ounce bottles back then so depending on the size of the grapefruit, the calories could very well be similar. She’s not considering the quality of the calories, i.e. Coke is empty calories.
@@rorigillmore141 My "doctor", (VA technician), said it's bad for my osteoporosis ridden bones. But they also say these drugs they give me are good for my bones and they don't do anything! So who knows what is real! I'm ready to dump this unsweetened almond milk and go back to my Coca Cola diet! I can enjoy life more that way as my bones rot away!
Reminds me: Milk good for your bones. Fact: Drinking to much milk (btw. cheese etc is fine ) does increase your risk getting fractures and in women it does promote osteoporosis.

The point of that comparison is nefarious: its to build associations so if you think of healthy you think grapefruit which is now associated with coca cola :)
@@crowthewicked8344 Democrats have done bad stuff. But in 2021 alone Republicans have stormed the capitol, made voting laws that make it harder to vote, lied about election results, striped away LGBTQIA+ rights and more. So there's your difference.
@Peter Rabbit Are you mad? He didn't "cure" diabetes. He reduced hypertension and renal failure in patients, which is completely unrelated to sugar intake. There's a massive difference between the two. His diet reduced the amount of sodium (NOT SUGAR) and increased complex carbohydrates in diets.. *Do a little research before you bicker nonsense to uninformed people.* Edit: he deleted his comment
@Peter Rabbit Yes it is interesting but completely unsustainable. But something going on there. You obviously do realise then that he had to go to extremes to keep his ‘patients’ on the diet? I think it’s in some way related to the randle cycle. Carbs and fats together can be problematic. Also seed oils seem to be part of the problem. So Kempners diet is not a viable diet, and realistically probably not a great option therapeutically either (though potentially could work for some). Long term, even if you could stay on it, a plethora of nutrient deficiencies would be inevitable. Ultimately I think there are more than a couple of foods that can independently cause diabetes or at least co-contribute to the cause. Excess omega 6 and oxidised PUFA I suspect is the worst, but excess processed carbs and sugar I think is likely going to be bad as well. The 2 together is basically most processed food.
Coke makes people thin- what a misguiding ad during 1960s.Yet this was way ahead of time- exactly 25 years before invention of the 1st sugar free cola flavored soda Diet Coke.
Diet Rite cola was the first, launched in 1958. It was the first diet soda. Tab, another diet cola, was launched in 1963 by the Coca Cola company. I remember the diet rite song commercials when I was a kid: “who’s drinking all that Diet Rite Cola? Eeeevryboooody!

@@JayA-rl1ps Ya, that's what I was saying. HFCS (from chemical laden GMO corn) now used instead of regular cane sugar, and they put HFCS in all kinds of products, including meat, hot-dogs, hamburgers, inside mustard, relish, ketchup, in your american type of bread, potato chips, sauces, every-frikin-where. Back then, sugar was just in the desert.

And now, new thalidomide Coke, for the woman who still wants to keep her kitchen clean, and have healthy babies too. Doctors agree. You can have it all with new thalidomide coke.
I worked for an ENT who did nothing but surgery on the larynx of cancer patients that smoked in his inner office between patients. Another practice I worked for had a smoking lounge for employees. The non-smoker's complained but were told everyone had to be accommodated. That was in 1989
My dad remembers teen Brooke Shields getting lambasted by so many of his friends (and I assume millions did the same) in the early 80’s for taking part in anti-smoking commercials, where these commercials just shit on not only the act, but the smokers themselves. Those commercials were ahead of their time 😂

Peko Pekoyama actually, in the ‘50s slim waistlines were in fashion. A small waist has been in style for at least a hundred tears, just the fashionable chest and hip sizes have changed.
Funny how times have changed. Coke is so satisfying you don't need other foods. Now coke is good with hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and even movie theater popcorn.

My mother wouldn’t let us have Coke when we were kids (1970’s) because it wasn’t healthy. We could, however, have half a grapefruit topped with saccharine to sweeten it. lol
she might drink 8 of them a day with some black beauties ludes then wait for the husband to come home and drink tom collins abd whiskey sours for the rest of the evening. then bed and tommarow start all it all over again! what a life
it is scary that 10 minutes after I talked to my friend on call about quitting both hard and soft drink to loose weight, I randomly got this 12 year old video as youtube recommendation!!!
I just recommended this normally, I can’t relate. Infact, pretty much none of my recommendations come from real life conversations I’ve had, or even conversations I’ve had here on YT.
@T L -- Mexican food section of the supermarket -- they have Coke from Mexico that has the cane sugar instead of that gross corn syrup. It's like a dollar a bottle, but if you remember the old days, it's WORTH it! (If you get 1 or 2 that is! )
@@dnr2089 it tastes good no doubt but it’s advertised (in some countries, at least) as something healthy and nutritious when in reality it’s loaded with sugar. Look up “milo energy gap” and you’ll see it’s bollocks
@@julek2589 Guess that's how they advertise Milo in South East Asia countries at last. Here in Vietnam, Nestle also advertise Milo and their other products as healthy and giving you great energy to boost the day ( kinda doubt about this cause anytime I drink it, it makes me feel a bit guilty ) for example : Milo with slogan " The persistent energy for kids to reach their goals " or " The champions made from Milo ", while in fact they are just chocalate drink with a load of sugar. Hell, they even encourage the parents to feed their kids with 2 to 3 servings of Milo every-goddamn-day to build up their inner strength and might, blergh
Two Slices of Bread is 120 calories - two pads of butter 80 calories = 200 calories 12 oz can of coke 140 calories One average grapefruit - 106 calories So the lady was fairly right and you were wrong. I'd still rather have the grapefruit with the fiber.
"Good for digestion" is still a thing people say. My boyfriend for example firmly believes it and say that Doctors in Czech Republic sometimes recommend it for stomach issues. Then again they also recommend beer because its healthy. Lol
then there’s the middle aged woman who orders a smorgasbord of food at a drive-thru at a McDonald’s with the “and I’ll have Diet Coke with that order, I’m trying to stay healthy 😊”
I took my sister to a fast food place once she purchased a large mcflurry and a salad, I ask why she ordered a salad, she said it was to help her stay thin, I face palmed so hard.
@@pinkie723 Diet drinks cause obesity because you expect calories and when you don't get them, you eat a bag of potato chips, or half a pie, or whatever. I'm not making this stuff up.

@@jasonmanning6317 I’m not blaming the restaurants. Just pointing out that super size everything seems to work. And back in the 50s, you know that decade that some people think is the epitome of American perfection, they had way smaller portion sizes.
They still sell those sized bottles here in Australia. i mean they have larger ones too but the little glass bottles that contain 300ml are still very popular.
This. The bottle in the ad was most likely 6.5 ounces and about 70 calories. That can easily fit into a diet that is overall relatively low in calories. Today, the smallest containers that are readily available in the US are 12 ounce cans for 140 calories and 20 ounce plastic bottles for 240 calories.

@@TheTenCentStory True, but once it enters the Human body, high-fructose corn syrup's chemistry converts that into upwards of 740 calories depending on an individual's pancreatic response/physiology.
@@stirlingfletcher7040 That's not true at all. Calories are energy and energy isn't out of nothing. Nonetheless, you shouldn't be drinking calories because it doesn't keep you full.
@@TheTenCentStory Lol Okay Dr. Wakefield. According to the ADF, "...consuming large amounts of artificial sweeteners leads to pancreatic insulin dump, which dramatically increases both carb and sugar cravings. In a large populace (U.S.) of test subjects, this has equated to rapid obesity and other serious health-related issues as a result."
@@stirlingfletcher7040 2009 study? Come on. Never use studies more than 5 years old while newer information is present. The newest study states that you would have to consume such a large amount of artificial sweeteners to contribute to cancer that it's basically impossible. Like you are more likely to get skin cancer from forgetting to put on sunscreen than get cancer from artificial sweeteners. The notion that consuming artificial sweeteners triggers cravings is probably true. It does the same with real sugar...Calories in, Calories out. Sugar has a lot of calories and artificial sweeteners have very few calories. The choice is yours.
"MMmm. Another thing: the cold, crisp taste of Coke is so satisfying that it keeps me from eating something else that might really add those pounds." (such as a whole grapefruit)
