My brother drinks 16 cans of Pepsi Max.. a day.?!
He's in university, he's very intelligent, so it's a surprise to me actually he doesn't understand the rebounds of it. He's an awesome guy and we know he wont take criticism lightly, but we don't want to alienate ourselves or tell him what he should or should not be doing. Any help? Should we seek medical help or just have a sit down with him?

Well, its definately not healthy, but its not "lethal" as you say. He should be eating other things too, to get all the daily nutrients you need... but I'm sure a lot of college kids eat worse. I would let it be.

I don't think it is healthy because your body can only consume so much caffeine a day and each can of Pepsi Max contains about 12% of caffeine. So its not healthy and if this keeps up you should probably go get medical attention (not like serious medical attention) but like go to the doctors office and get a diet of meat and veggies and limit the amount of caffeine he intakes daily.
Good Luck-

The regular exercise is a help however that much pepsi and no health foods is a very big problem because he may be physically fit but his body isn't receiving the nutrients it needs and may cause major health problems so I think at the moment have a sit down with him. Be gentle and show that you only care about what is best for him. If he refuses then seek medical help
There's a television show called "Freaky Eaters" that had an episode of a gal who drank up to 30 cans of coke a day and when she did eat is was mostly high sugar items. The outlook for her didn't look good. You might ask where you can see this online. I wasn't able to find you a link. The show is pretty good.
The episode was called "Addicted to Cola".
I'm surprised that he can handle/digest the high fructose corn syrup. Four cans of pepsi gave me IBS, irital bowel syndrome.
It is amazing what young bodies can withstand. It will catch up with him eventually.

Some acne treatments are more effective than others. There are many factors that can cause acne which means not all treatments will work for everyone. If you a severe case of acne, you should consult with a dermatologist. For most people, though, the following natural remedies should work just as well.
Try using an exfoliant, which is something that you apply to your skin to help get rid of dead skin cells. Using an exfoliant daily helps clear up blackheads by cleaning out the oils and dead cells that cause them. Red pimples form when blackheads become inflamed. So using an exfoliant can help to stop this problem from spreading. You can find these at a drugstore, but you can also make some effective and simple ones at home. Apply a mixture of oatmeal, molasses, and olive oil to your skin. Keeping your face clean between treatments will also help clear up your acne. Changing your diet is one way that you might be able to reduce your adult acne naturally. Some foods, especially those that are refined or processed can contribute to a person's acne, so cut out foods like fats, junk foods, carbohydrates and soda. Alcohol and caffeine can also cause acne, so cut back on these things as well. Some people are sensitive to dairy and meat but you could risk your health if you cut them out entirely so try switching to less processed varieties as well. Getting more exercise can also help you to clean out your whole system, which is a way to get rid of acne. As you improve your diet and exercise routine make sure that you stay well hydrated by drinking lots of water. Getting rid of the toxins in your system is important to curing acne and drinking lots of water is good for that.
If you are seeking a simple, natural and helpful acne treatment, try aloe vera gel. This is available in many drugstores, health food stores and online stores. This is a very safe and beneficial plant based product that you can use on your face several times per day. Ideally, you should get a aloe soap to wash your face with as well as a lotion and a gel. Before going to bed at night, apply the gel to your face. You don't need to wash off the aloe vera because it is very gentle on the skin. If you drink aloe vera juice, your body will be able to detoxify faster which will in turn help clear up your acne.
Pimples no longer have to be a permanent part of your life. Not all acne remedies work the same for everyone but with a little patience you can find an effective treatment for you. To help clear up your acne, try out one of these treatments. With a little determination, you can get rid of your acne once and for all.
