coffee or coke????

rynhales · January 2010

Which one is better for you. I drink half a coke a day and DH told me today that I should drink coffee instead b/c it has antioxidents. What do you think?

I would say coke if its caffine-free....but good question, no idea.

I've heard coffee is better, but a half a coke a day? How can that be that bad?

Coffee, in certain amounts has documented health benefits. Coke is all sugar.

I don't think coffee has antioxidants...tea definitely does though. My doc said she drank one can of regular coke per day through both of her pregnancies and said I could do the equivalent if I wanted. IMO, I think you should drink what you prefer.

Agree with PPs that coffee does have antioxidants, but 6 oz of Coke a day seems like no big deal. I guess you could add a cup of coffee (decaf if you want)?

Also, I love your sig pic.

I agree! Coke is all sugar...no nutritional benefits and your DH is right coffee has antioxidents.

omg - that siggy pic is toooooo cute!! that little face is sooo lovable! hehe

Id say coffee - theres also more empty calories in soda than reg coffee (unless you like cream & sugar in it like me!)

I drink a half a cup of coffee vs a coke. That way I'm avoiding the sugar (or fake sugar). The caffeine is much lower than typical coffee because I don't make it that strong.
