Question:

Does anyone know if rootbeer has any side affects on the body?

My girlfriend drinks root beer liter after liter she just cant get enough and i was wondering if one day it might come back to hurt her.


Answers:
Depends on the carbonation levels. If the carbonation levels are above 70.4%, then a chemical reaction could occur with the glucose, which greatly speeds up how quickly enzymes can break apart starch. This reaction in the stomach could cause the stomach lining to melt away.

But don't worry, most companys only make their soda with 68-69% carbonation.

the sugar content is very high,weight gain,possibly diabetes will haunt her

I have heard that root beer is one of the better sodas. no caffeine,and is good for digestion.

She probably belches alot huh?
Just like anything, too much can be harmful. That stuff is loaded with sugar. Get some rootbeer body lubricant or gel....might get her off the liter and on the pe_er!

i hope not, cuz im addicted to the stuff as well

root beer is just like any other soda... bad for you.. Too much sugar and corn syrup. Also some root beers (barqs for example) contain caffeine. If you want one with out caffeine, check the label before you buy.
