I can put like, 1000 calories of sucrose into a liter of PURIFIED water and feel totally great. 0 bloating discomfort etc. Gives me energy and all that stuff, very thermogenic too. Without the sugar if I drink plain water I get bloated, cold and feel like shit. Seems like the body doesn't want to spend energy to process it because it has none.
If I drink 1 can of soda which is only 12 oz and 150 cals I feel awful and get more bloated than the 1l of sugar water.
The one thing for certain is the random shit chemicals in sugary drinks definitely cause problems and discomfort. It's honestly hilarious that it's legal to make these drinks that make you feel like death.
