Heard many times about how coke and sodas harm bones and their ability to uptake calcium, is there any truth in that?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Is that true that rumor about sodas and coke being dangerous on your bones?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Thanks for the info, guess I'll quit the light coke and move to the sprite zero, did I get it right the fact that only colas have phosphoric acid?

I thought it was phosphoric acid pulls the calcium out of your bones or something.
"Phosphoric acid, a major component in most sodas, may be to blame, according to lead study author Katherine Tucker, PhD.
Phosphorus itself is an important bone mineral. But if you're getting a disproportionate amount of phosphorus compared to the amount of calcium you're getting, that could lead to bone loss."

cole and sodas are dangerous for everything. Quit drinking it.
Also, "zero" is potentially even worse. Those artificial sweeteners have been linked to all sorts of bad things. Being a relatively new product we still don't know the full extent of how they react with our body.
Best to avoid completely.
Drink water, or fresh juice if you need something sweet.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
That is absurd. You are telling me if i sit around drinking soda while playing video games all night that my teeth will be nocticeably smaller in the morning.eliza86 said:
Do your teeth not have enamel or something? They say this same sort of crap about acidic coffee but after 10 years of half a pot every workday I am still waiting for my teeth to wither away or even produce a cavity.

That is so terribly simplistic you could apply that kind of thing to nearly anything you eat. My stomach acid would eat through things. Meat will rot inside you! Do you want to be a bacteria farm!
Your bones aren't going to get more brittle when you regularly have a bar loaded with 400 lbs on your back. Ok so soda "harms" calcium uptake. Enough to make any discernible difference? Do the studies cover athletes who regularly eat proper diets rich in calcium? I'd wager you are still far better off as a man who regularly loads his skeletal system and puts a demand on his body to have thicker bones than some shmuck runner who carefully obsesses over avoiding an occassional soda.Who Dares Win said:
Is there some sort of brittle bone epidemic going on that I don't know about? The only time you ever really hear about bone health is concerning older women and osteoporosis. Do you ever hear a peep about the fat video game nerds having bone issues after night after night of gallons of mountain dew?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've started drinking less soda and more fruit juice. A juicer is becoming my best friend
