    Soft drinks

    Do they dehydrate you and hurt your muscles? Some coaches Tell athletes not to drink them for that reason. More liquid comes in than gets cyphened out. I don,t think they hurt running or athletic performances. Defintlh don,t dehydrate you, have quenched my thirst. I am not a water drinker myself. Wonder if they have the negative effect some people say they have?

    How can you not be a water drinker? There is nothing like a cold, ice water when you have built up a thirst.

    Non-water drinkers and ProgMos who root for Byu: two things I'll never understand.

      I hate drinking water. One thing that's been pounded into my head over 23 years in the Army is to drink water to avoid heat injuries. They also tell me that drinking caffeinated beverages will actually dehydrate you. I don't believe it. I'm a Coke drinker. Coke Zero is my current flavor of choice. I've never once come close to having a heat injury, or had my performance degraded due to dehydration.

        Didn't you choose an Elder Quorum BBQ over attending the rivalry game? Apparently Coke affects your judgment too.

          The one constant in each game that BYU has lost to Utah has been my attendance. It's time for me to quit being so selfish.

            Ha. No, what is truly inexplicable is a Mo of any stripe cheering for Utah.

              You think you have that much influence over things? I'd stop drinking Coke if I were you.

                Hey now. There are some Mos that aren't very bright. Take AppleJack for instance.

                  Grapevine, when I was a kid the HS coaches would tell everyone to avoid carbonated drinks because they would "cut your wind". That was a bunch of baloney and so is the notion that sodas cause dehydration. That has been thoroughly debunked. The only problem with sodas is the high-fructose corn syrup in the sugary kind.
