They put salt in the soda so that they can add more sugar without it getting too sweet to drink. The sugar level isn't there for taste, otherwise they wouldn't add salt to neutralize the sweetness. It is there in combination with caffeine to be addictive.

What soda are you drinking that adds salt? Maybe you are referring to the sodium, which comes from other sources, like the flavor preservatives, but isn't added so they can add more sugar.

If soda companies could add less sugar they would because sugar costs money.

Yeah this is exactly why they went to corn syrup, it is perceived as sweeter than regular sugar and costs a lot less.
 
Okay, I'm saying something I heard once some time ago and maybe I either misunderstood or they were incorrect.

Circle K’s new sip and save promotion is awesome. Pay $5.99 up front and get a free drink everyday for 30 days. The XL fountain drinks come out to $1.19 after tax.

Lol. Right. Beer, drugs, cigarettes, etc are much better. How dare I drink soda. I’m 6’0 170 just lost 10 pounds without even trying. I think I’ll be alright.

You will be. Hopefully you don't feel like this has been an attack on you.

Many of us, most of us, myself included, have some sort of unhealthy habit or two. Even those people who seek to eliminate every possible unhealthy thing don't live forever, or even really longer than average.

I remember some random interview with a woman who was celebrating her 100th birthday and she said the secret to her longevity was her daily cigar. Maybe it was a secret to her longevity because it brought her joy and probably gave her something tangible that she could look at as she smoked it and see it as her defiance of death. I fully believe that at a certain point a positive mental attitude and a desire to live is the difference between life and death for some people.

You got to eat real food that's high in calories. If you are drinking an XL fountain drink everyday and not gaining weight (hell even losing weight) that tells me you just dont eat enough actual food.

I know you're an athlete, so you probably have a super high metabolism, but you got to eat through that.
