In regards to eating meat

I don't believe you. The fluids in the soda more than make up for any loss due to its diuretic component - ergo no net water loss possible from drinking.

You certainly have the right to believe as you wish!

I've attended multiple seminars with health practitioners who back up my statement. However I won't attempt to get into the technical reasons why, other than to say that it has to do with how the kidneys process the 'fluid'.

And you'd be a moron not to drink a Coke, if that was the only beverage available and you were dehydrated.

Knowing what I know, there is no way I would ever drink a Coke, just as I would know better than to drink ocean water. I would suck the juice from grass or weeds, rather than drink a Coke. I wouldn't do it.

If that makes me a moron in your eyes, then so be it!
