One of the reasons I don't drink pop is because, say I'm thirsty. If I reach for the pop and drink, I'll be queched for about 5 mins. If drink water, I'll be sastifyed longer; I won't be thirsty again for a while.
This is purely placebo effect. There is absolutely no reason why soda wouldn't keep your thirst quenched just as long as an equal amount of purified water.
It just does. I don't know to what extent, but it does. It's been scientifically proven.
It just doesn't. It hasn't been scientifically proven because that's a ridiculous hypothesis. I stated the chemicals in soda earlier. Please tell me which cloud mental processing. Because, as far as I can tell, it's been scientifically proven that sugar improves mental processes (more energy = more thinking) and water keeps you hydrated for dem thinking sessions. The other 5% of stuff in there doesn't have any effect on mental processing, I'll save you the scroll back.
