• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It has phosphorous in it and it causes the calcium in the bones to be depleted if we drink too much. Boo-hoo 'cause I like them too. Really, nothing good in them but the taste, and the bubbles and the caffeine, ahh. Moderation in everything as my Dad used to say.

Pop is bad for you. There is a lot of sugar in pop! Diet is just as bad, because of the aspartame, it has been said to kill brain cells. By all means, it is okay at party, but it isn't something you should drink everyday, there are many alternatives to drinks that are sweet like orange juice or cranberry juice. Anyway, all the best to you!:D:D God Bless!!

Your sis in Christ,
D.

Soda pop is very bad for you for a number of reasons:

1. High amounts of refined sugar in the regular kind. Refined sugar compromises the immune system. Over time, this also leads to diseases because of the breakdown of your body. Your body is no longer able to fight back. This is with prolonged unhealthy eating.
2. The aspartame(R) or saccharine are synthetic and linked with a # of diseases.
3. Empty calories. If you're going to consume calories, they might as well be beneficial to your body.
4. Having a good RO system in your home/apartment is far cheaper in the long run and much better for your body. I carry a bottle of water wherever I go.
5. When I was drinking pop, my complexion was terrible. Now that I only drink water, my complexion is clear and beautiful.
6. Sugar causes you to drink more sugary products, therefore consuming more empty calories.
7. Diet sodas actually cause your body to want to eat more. It screws with the chemistry in your body.
8. Sugar, for those especially carb sensitive, causes your insulin levels to spike, therefore causing your pancreas to work harder. This can in term do things like cause high blood pressure, digestive problems.
