Default Medal Winners: Air Traffic Control Tapes

("Roger" wrote)
I've heard Olympic level athletes do not drink pop, for performance
reasons - blood, oxygen carrying ability, ...something.


It's loaded with processed sugar which brings on a shot of energy followed
by a rapid decline in energy. They want something that lasts. You ever
see how much some of those athletes eat? If I ate half that much I'd need
wheels.



No, not the sugar or diet chemicals, just the CO2 side of the can. Does
drinking 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 cans of pop per/day do something (bad) to your system
because of (possible?) CO2 absorption(?) into the bloodstream?

The Olympics are days away...
